    Iā€™ve been using Photoshop for decades, since version 3, and I still learn something from every one of your videos! Thank you!!
  • @SparksJohnson
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. After only a few minutes of a PS masking tutorial, my eyes did not start to gloss over. Thanks for your slower speed, tool callouts, and explanation. I see why you have over 2 M subscribers. Im a fan!
  • @MikeCaffyn1
    What a fantastic style of teaching - I love that you introduce the menus in detail and make NO assumptions about what we do or do not know. Power to your elbow. Mike in France.
  • Wow! Very detailed and to the point. The only video you need on a background removal. There is no need to look further. And it was published only two months ago! Thank you!

    I've been using the Select and mask tool for years, and been pretty good with it. But didn't know you could output as a mask and re-edit the mask for hair. GAME CHANGER!! Thanks, JesĆŗs!
