The best tutorial I have seen in selection tools. I'm using the 22.5.1 release and when I clicked on refine hair button it automatically rendered the hairs with red mask. Thanks for making this video.
I think I will subscribe to PHLearn. Maybe I will have some more questions, as I am really good in finding technical limits in an application. You seem to be the right kind of guy to answer those seemingly unsolvable questions.
Great spirit when it comes to sharing the knowledge I really appreciate the instructional techniques although sometimes I'm left hanging as there is so much to digest! Well done
I don't even have photoshop, but I knew it had great selection tools. I was in the middle of my unrelated work when I suddenly got the urge to learn and see them in action so I came here. This was very satisfying, I'm now considering PS. Thank you 😊
Sent to Eien in the comments below. It takes time to learn. I downloaded Photoshop CS-3 from 'LimeWire' (Long Gone Now) in 2010 for free as pirate software. 2007 version. My introduction to digital painting was 'MS Paint', part of Windows XP. The Crazy thing is that I barely knew what I was doing with MS Paint. It took me weeks of struggles to finally finish my picture doing it all in mostly Dots. It was the only one I ever did with 'MS Paint'. I went to bed. The work exhausted me and I felt that I never want to go through that again. 90 minutes later, I woke up with an epiphany! "Maybe, I can get up and Download Photoshop'. It worked. I have been paying Monthly for modern Photoshop a long time now, but never really got into it. That's why I'm here. BTW: My 'Best Ever' Painting was the one I did in 'MS Paint'. You posted your comment a Year ago saying you were interested in getting into this. How are you doing today? If you respond, I am sure I can find a way to link that first painting to you. 'Trackpaint 44' It makes an excellent Poster and I keep on on my wall. I am really, really, good at painting 'Stereographic 3D' as 3dmacphee or 3dfantasys.
@@davidmacphee3549 Ah, hello Thank you for typing a long comment Getting into Photoshop wasn't my priority back then, and it still isn't. But it is something that's always there. I'm good at learning things by tinkering with them, that's how I got good at my art apps on phone and a bunch of software on PC. So I'm not worried about PS. Since last year, I've learned a bunch of more things about it even though I only opened it like 4 times. The thing is, every time I do open it I want something and I won't close it until I have made it exactly how I want. I do a lot of looking around in the software and also searching the web in order to do that. So I learn new things little by little and it grows into almost having mastered the apps. Admittedly, Photoshop looks like it's gonna take a long time. Regardless, there's no rush for me. If I ever need to learn it faster, I will. No problem. So, about that first painting of yours. I'm looking forward to seeing it! 3D paintings are interesting and have a certain cool look to them, so I'm excited. If you let me, I might even print it and install it on my own wall too. Haha. Thank you in advance ✢
@@eienryucho6648 "The thing is, every time I do open it I want something and I won't close it until I have made it exactly how I want." Diligence and determination! Other things you said remind me of how I was when I was younger. So many Hobbies but never all at once. Hope to keep in touch.
Thank you for posting this video. The Channels feature is something I’ve never understood but you somewhat shed light to this topic. The question I have is…is Edit > Fill exactly the same as paint tool?
You're a great teacher. Thank you! For @3:51 what if the color seclected is black. Can we chance it to say red, or yellow? I tried but it barely changes the color.

Thank you once again. It was nice to see them all compared. Over time I've certainly forgot more and I would like. And this was a nice "by the way" featured video.
First of all you are awesome and thank you for your helpful wonderful content, and much less important, I have never ever seen anyone else with the same last name as my teeny tiny Washington state family, that blew my mind just now.
These are all great for high-quality, good-contrast, professional images with white backgrounds. Try any of them on any complicated image with details, lighting blends and patterns then you're going to have a painful time.
Very good video and presentation - thank you. Just a little bit of feedback: what are you using for your audio? It sounds hard to understand to me. Some kind of echo/reverb. Perhaps this results from the mic being too far away from you? IDK - but your video is otherwise outstanding.
Nacer: I shoot a lot of portraits using dark gray and black backgrounds. Many of my subjects have dark skin. Dark backgrounds and simple 1 or 2 lighting setups can make for extremely dramatic portraits of these subjects, both in B&W and in color. Pulling them out to replace the background (on occasion)? Not easy at all (I'm sure Ps algorithms are based on contrast to 'find edges', and the harder it is to find an edge, the harder it is for the program to make a selection). So how do YOU do it? Or is the only answer "shoot on a lighter background and you can always darken it"? Which makes sense, but I can counter that with that solution there's a lot of "flagging" involved to make sure that the lights don't bounce off the background and back onto the subject. Shooting someone on heavy black velvet guarantees that there won't be any "bounce". Thanks for all you do and the wisdom you continue to provide to the community.
