a few years back you told us how to work with "channel-based mask" not with this very name but it is something that I use almost every day. The fur tip was the best on this video, thanks for a little bit of ur knowledge, Jesus. Thank u very much.

I've been using Photoshop on and off for quite a few years but nobody has ever made masking so incredibly accurate and versatile as the techniques that you have just taught me. I could not subscribe to your channel quickly enough. Thank you so so much you've literally saved me hours and days of valuable time.

WOW!!! More great lessons from the Master. That last knockout tip was fantastic! I've never seen "shallow" used before. I will be adding that to my tool box. Thanks so much Jesus.

That knockout technique is def Ps tip of the year!

The knockout mask variations technique was new to me. Thanks, Jesus!

Wow, wow, wow, and wow! So much ground in the space of so few minutes! Thank you, Jesus. You're a star.

knockout mask is a LIFE CHANGER

I love how you can use a program for years and still learn something new. Most of these tricks I did not know (especially that last one, wow!). Did not know knockout was even a thing and largely ignored it. This is so much better than the roundabout way of masking I've been doing for a while. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!

This is one of the most useful and concise Photoshop tutorials I've come across. So great to see a pro at work.

I knew the knockout technique, but not the "double knockout"! Thanks! Great video really useful!

I learn so much with you... Thank you for sharing these tips.. love from India

You are a 100% photoshop guru. Wonderful lessons. Thank you.

One of the most awesome tutorials I've ever watched and learnt! Thank you so much! God bless you Jesus!

I'm sure we have all come so far learning how photoshop on our own. Watching videos like this shows us how far we still have to go, but every video on this channel brings us a few steps farther than we were before. I'm so happy I found this channel and am grateful that there are people like Mr. Ramirez to help me learn.

Learned Something new from this tutorial! We will be very grateful to have the tutorial images available for us to follow along and practice those tricks on our own if possible. Cheers!

That knockout thing is literally amazing.

Awesome. Knockout group technique really useful.

Another Classic Tutorial

I consider myself a professional retouched but I must admit that I regularly check your channel for tip and trick. Because one can not know everything and you give great advices. Thank you very much!

It's incredible how you manage to pack so many useful tips into a 16-minute video. I can imagine someone writing a slim book just about these tips. I also appreciate the uncompromising application of non-destructive methods. I have seen some other video guides showing nice end results, but cutting corners by using destructive methods. Seeing such workflows is always far less satisfying.

For me the knock-out section was the most valuable. As a subscriber to your chanel, I did know the other tricks, and have worked with them very often. The furtrick I have used a lot - but with the grass-brush from an older video of yours. As I say, no matter how well you think you know the stuff in PTC's videos, there will always be something you can pick up.....

Very helpfull bro❤️ Thank you ssooo much!!

last tip is very game changing. thank you so much.

So many tools and tricks used in one video, and all explained so well. Great video!

Wow 👏 You were right. GREAT new (to me) tips! 🤯 Thanks!

PTC is one of the most valuable channels ever. I always click first on the like button, then I watch the video. 🤩

this is the greatest photoshop learning channel on earth. already learned something new in the first 10 seconds

Only pure Education, great tips and tricks! Thank you so much!

Thanks for this . Very informative

Thx for solving the mystery (to me) about why the knockout always revealed only empty pixels (b/c the background layer was not defined). Also, i've seen it in other of your vids but the use of Filter>Other>Minimum is a really good tip that I've used a lot since learning it from you. Finally, creating a custom brush, editing & using it to artificially "create" mask edges that would otherwise be virtually un-selectable is a great pro tip. You're the best, Jesus. Thx for your generous sharing.

Sometimes you come across a person who just inspires you to do more in your work, this is an amazing channel, thank you so much

I mask dogs a lot, and fur is so labor-intensive, but your brush has just changed my world. And the knockout thing is amazing!

Awesome tips and techniques! Thank you!

Thanks too for teaching this beginner how to use pen tool for creating brushes.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have just started to play around with masking in photoshop and this was great to get a good feel for what is possible

Wow. So many years I'm watching your tutorials (since we both were young and beautiful), and each one of them teaches me new tricks that makes my work easier. Thank you!

This may be one of the best tuts I've seen. Thank you.

Best masking tutorial I've ever seen! Thanks

Thank you for explaining the knock-out modes!

Where has this channel been all my life?

Great. Also for minimum filter, if you don't get all areas, you can use lasso tool and select those areas and go back to minimum.

One of the best channels for Photoshop learning ♥️

Absolute GENIUS! I'm too intimidated by how complex PS is to the point that I wouldn't even know where to start. But I love these types of videos just to see the capabilities of what can be done. Thank you!

Thank you. This is the best video on masking I've seen. Very helpful

Again something new that can be used in our development, thank you very much.👍👍👍👍

Fantastic, thank you so much for sharing these tricks.

So, on this video I learned like A LOT! wish there was a I absolutely love button!

Jesus, you are a genius and your training style is so perfect, masking was like black magic to me and you make it so easy to understand and the knockout group masking is from another planet.... amazing I cannot thank you enough for all I learn everytime I checkout one of your videos.

Thank you very much for the trick. May every day be a good one for you.🙏🏻

RU-vid just recommend this video to me and I LOVE it!!! What a great educational channel for Photoshop noob like me

Didn't know Knockout Group before... It's great!

Now that was trully helpful, thank you!

Fantastic tips Jesus, especially the knock out techniques 👍

Great job 👏

Sir your tutorials are amazing

Thanks for the tips. It helped me so much on working with the mask. ❤❤❤

Pure gold!

The Knockout trick is doubly relevant because you knocked out of the park with this video. It's the added value details that make your videos so good. I sort of knew how to do most of what you cover, but you always manage to take it a step further, and Knockout had completely slipped past me prior to watching this video. How long as it been there in Layer Styles for heck's sake? I loved using vector tools to make that ultra fine fur brush preset. Why have I never thought to do that before?! I have most of the Aaron Blaise brush packs and I know my way around the brush engine, but that took it up a level. I TA'd for Dave Cross at MAX in 2016, and he spoke about how he'd impressed Scott and the other 'Photoshop Guys' with a difficult flyaway hair mask before telling them that he'd painted in hair to improve the mask. I'm also reminded of Dave Hill's Adventure Series video where he moves the camera point of view through a scene in which he has given the composited elements different depths, and we can see the edges of the hair is on a separate layer. Thanks again for another outstanding video Jesús.

fantastic tricks! thank you soooo much!!

Great tutorial!!! Thanks! 😊

WOW, Just what i needed. Thanks as Always

Great tricks, thanks

Holy S*** the knock out mask alone is life-changing, and the rest are also pure gold... Awesome stuff!

Great video. Thanks! 👍

woww! de text mask realy get me! TKS

Amazing, Thank u so much

Awesome sir

About your hair painting... You can do it MUCH faster, by starting it out with a "base" outline brush stroke. Go on the PATH tab, select a path, while keeping a bitmap layer selected on LAYERS (one you can paint on), select the hair brush, and click the small outlined circled icon on the bottom, and voilá! Insta-stroke that follows the path, using all the brush parameters (which includes all the variation settings). I repeat the process for both highlighted (white) and darkened (black) areas on on each separate layer, or even more times with slightly different brushes, and then use the eraser brush and retouch with paint brush strokes, but it can considerably speeds up the whole process.

Wow that's awesome 🧡✨

Thank you so much, you're truly professional, I'm really grateful, thank you so much

Thanks buddy these were awesome :D
