This is my first time using photoshop, and this video was so easy to follow, it was clear and I loved it!! Thank you!!!

[photoshopmama]

@dumblueydblond Thank you. Glad to hear that, as my objective is to explain things in such a way that even beginners can immediately accomplish more complex tasks in Photoshop.

the way you explain is great. Even a kinder garden would understand. This is truly the best photoshop tutorial I've ever watched! My photo went out perfectly. I seen someone using the same idea as you suggested but he didn't explain it well so I looked for where the black and white is in CS2 (he had CS 3) for 30 mins :(

thanks for being so patient to explain this to us all! and good luck with everything.

[photoshopmama]

Thank you for your kind words---YOU are my target audience!

[photoshopmama]

You certainly could do it that way, but it's certainly not any easier--just another way to do it. In fact if you use the eraser, then you can't change your mind, like you can with a mask. The results would look the same, but using the eraser limits editability.

I did'nt know half of what you teach when I graduated college so when I found your vids. and stayed with you for this long I feel on top of the world when I do very fine renderings for someone. Some people have even asked me "did you do that"

I still have much to learn therefore, thanks for being there as an excellent teacher!!!

[photoshopmama]

@msartyme Awe thanks! I am happy for you!

Wonderful easy explanation. I took a photoshop class a year ago and had forgotten how to do this completely, but you gave an excellent refresher and I'm confident it would be a good first lesson for someone as well! Thanks!
