    Yes to more Photoshop tutorials! I'm a klutz at Photoshop and this opened my eyes to different methods and possibilities!
  • @toapyandfriends
    OK now it's the absolute best thing ever that you're in Adobe Premiere Pro with your awesome tutorials that you're really that famous now!!!... I don't know how we go about this but is there any way we could start a campaign and maybe get signatures or whatever so that to celebrate this they put your image on the box that you first see when you click on the icon on your taskbar to open it up the splash image..... Number one(tee hee) I have no idea why they put a guy on there it's weird and number two(tee hee)... It would be so awesome to see your face instead!!!!!
  • @jayo.6774
    Great tutorial! DO you already have one that's similar, but for Premiere? Adding a glow around the subject (or whatever) in a video would be helpful for an upcoming project.
  • @yuckyhamsandwich
    This is perfect and great timing. I am doing a lot of gaming space content and need better way to make stuff glow. Thank you Premiere Gal :D

  • @lucaspacheco525
    Thank you for the tutorial, but it's strange how Photoshop is so complicated when we compare to Canva, for example. All effects and tools are so easier and faster to use on these web apps, Adobe really needs to work on it.
