JR, do you realize you're the FIRST one to make a tutorial about how to PROPERLY select & mask? Not one tut I've seen over years has ever made the clarifications you've made here. I as well as many others thought the S&M panel was flawed in some way compared to refine edge. Well done. If Adobe product knowledge was measured in people, you would be China.

@PhotoshopTrainingChannel 6 лет назад

Thank you, P. Peter R! I appreciate that! I'm not sure about other tutorials since I don't watch any others, but as far as people go, most don't know how Select and Mask works and what the settings do. So I thought it was a good opportunity to show it off.

you forgot how to save it into jpeg!!!! it's my first time using photoshop... i'm on the free trial, can i do this?

@joellim7010 5 лет назад

I can tell you guys this is the most stupid way to change the background of an image to white color. it is tedious and takes so much effort. here is the hack : take your phone and go to your smartphone and edit it, it will give you an option that already has a white background; another way is to edit in instagram where a white background is also available. All these methods only require 1 click and the result is very high quality. efficient and effective.

What version of Photoshop is this please

@chillichoco3005 2 месяца назад

Dear Jesus, I’m so impressed by your tutorials. I’m working on Photoshop for ages, but now I’m learning the stuff. Everything is clearly explained, whatever you say about what you do or what needs to be done makes perfect sense. Thank you very much for your tutorials 🙏

As a self taught 'shopper - and VFX editor - I watch an AWFUL lot of tutorials, and they are mostly garbage. They ALL do a crappy selection, saying "For the purposes of this tutorial Imma just do a rough selection", ignoring the fact that getting the perfect selection is the absolute cornerstone for all image manipulation. It's the most important, fundamental skill that you must learn for professional results and, after 20+ years, I am still learning it. This video is the most useful tutorial I have watched in years. I've used the select and mask tool a lot, recently, for some kid photography I've done, and have got pretty good results, but you're showing me what's going on under the hood with the edge selection has just upped the quality of my output enormously. I subscribe to VERY few channels - who has time, right? - but you've got a new sub, today. Thank you.

@tigerqueen42 5 лет назад

These tutorials are amazing. So many tutorials just TELL yu what to do without explaining, so you end up not understanding and just memorising. But with your videos I always feel like I come away with a better UNDERSTANDING. They're great!

Thank you, Andrea!

@darrenlongshanks5102 6 лет назад

Praise be to the one who created the select subject button! Much much less frustrating. Thanks for the tutorial. Subscribed.

@ADVBear 6 лет назад

The level of attention that you have to the details of the image is amazing. And we have the tendency to stop halfway there thinking that the image is already OK, but there's so much you can do to make the image stand out! Thanks, man!

You're welcome, Alexandre!

@markf72 6 лет назад

i have to do this all the time and i still picked up some great tips that will speed things up and probably get a better result. This is the THE best video i''ve seen for taking a grey background background to white. So succinct and easy to follow and not unnecessary waffling like most others do.. Thanks!!

@PhotoshopTrainingChannel 6 лет назад

Thank you, Mark! I appreciate that!

@rgarlinyc 6 лет назад

Complex stuff perfectly explained - I never cease to learn new things from you! I particularly liked (a) how to reset the "Global Refinements" and (b) how to duplicate inner shadows - thanks a ton for all of this, Jesús!

@docchrisfisher5089 4 года назад

I am not new to photoshop but still figuring things out. You made the steps east to understand and did not leave things out assuming the viewer already knew that. I will be referencing your videos many times as I work more in photoshop. Thanks for including the ps6 version information as well as that is what I am still using.

@FergbyFive 4 года назад

Jesús, you are truly God's gift to Photoshop users. Thank you for everything you provide to us for free here. I have used your techniques before on a corporate photo shoot and am now applying them to product photography but I am struggling with getting sharp edges on the circular bottle tops. I have been using the Quick mask and shift to get pixel perfect selections on the straight edges but unsure what to do on any area with a curve.

He has to explain it in detail by detail unlike other tutorial that add only music without explaining. This guy has better explanation than other tutorials. Don't want to be a buzz killer but the more he explain it in detail the more the the video expand... So don't be a whinner ok!?!

@mrfookayu 3 года назад

Because he said "in this video, I'm going to show you how to create a white background in Photoshop" twice in the first few seconds. Then mentioned it again a few more times.

I've been using Photoshop for over 20years, though the advancement in technology in Photoshop is getting better, I STILL prefer drawing a path around the subject, probably because I am so fast now. But, I have tried many times, using the methods above, but find it not ideal and almost always have to go back over the image several times to check if the mask is perfect. Even with refine and mask getting better, I KNOW the path/pen tool is perfect every time because my trained eye knows what to select and de-select. Its getting there, but for me if I want a quick mask and not really care about the quality then I will definitely choose this method, if it is a professional retouching job, I always use the path tool then create my mask from that. Its not really that much faster when you think about having to go back and check. Plus it gives me the peace of mind that my Mask is perfect when I use the pen/path tool.
