It's about time there was a video with clear and excellent step-by step instruction and explanation of masking, especially with complicated masks, like hair. This has been the biggest struggle for me in Photoshop for MANY years. I have watched tons of videos and this is the FIRST one that not only showed me how to really do it correctly, but explained the entire process and functionality of the software. THANK YOU and Cheers!!!
Hi Jesus, I have watched many tutorials with regard to PS techniques, and by far yours are the best for quality, simple understandable explanation on technique and why, you don't take it for granted that the viewer automatically will understand what you are talking about, going at a pace and clarity for all levels of learning can follow. Any body not subscribing to your tutorials channel is certainly missing out on 1st class instruction! I applaud you and you deserve all the success it brings you.
There are several tips to try take a bath regularly choose loose clothing. consume plenty of water and tomato juice. avoid spicy foods and caffiene. (I learned these and the reasons they work from Sebs Sweat Blueprint site )
sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
My wife and I have been watching your tutorials for a couple of years, they are always informative and helpful, but this one has unlocked a mystery of how this tool works we have always struggled with this, till now ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ please keep them coming. A Big thanks
Well done! I'll have to watch it several more times to actually retain all the techniques, but this is probably the best tutorial I've seen on this subject.
So far one of the better tutorials I've watched. The reason I say this is because so many videos called tutorials are basically the person just working and mumbling and rambling and not really doing any explaining. They're talking to other Photoshop users. I'm sorry but if the video is geared towards intermediate to advanced users they should say that in the title. Or just be honest and say they are too lazy to explain lol. I've not once during your video had to go back because I didn't understand something or because I felt like I missed something. Thank you. I wish you more views! You deserve it more than the other "So called" tutorials.
Hi, you are a true Photoshop Messiah! After this video I've probably really understood Select and Mask for the first time. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge with us.
Thank you Jesus Javier. Very good tutorial. One step at a time. Easy to follow. I am a beginner. I feel like you studied first your lecture before delivering it. This is what makes you different from other instructors. Other instructors make mistakes during the demo and they try to correct the mistakes by showing many options how to correct them. There is nothing wrong with that except I lost track of the lecture and gets confused on many options...and most of the time, the lecture takes more time than I expected. Of course, I am talking only about myself and my pace to learn. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for that video. I have watched dozens of Select and Mask videos from other authors and was left baffled. Your video has explained what and how the changes are effected. That said I will need to take notes and watch a few times - but this is my best education on the subject to date. Thanks again.
Have seen lot of videos on select and mask particularly on the selection of hairy areas, but this one helped me to understand the aspects quite well.. And I have started applying on some of my pics already. Thanks a ton.
When it comes to learning to use Photoshop your videos are the easiest to follow by far. Thank you for considering those of us who aren't familiar with everything in the program as those who are experts. NEW SUBSCRIBER!
Love this, just wish you had a sample to download so we could use it as a practice and actually apply the settings perfectly like you did. Just a suggestion.
Absolute genius! I have those hair masking problems all the time. The wrong color hair at the fringes and the parts of hair mistaken as background. Thanks you for taking the time to explain the solution.
Thank you for all your hard work in sharing knowledge and skills for all of us. We all really appreciate each of your struggles in sharing education, we all are very blessed with all the knowledge and skills you share, because this makes us all have skills and we can developing. Once again, thank you as much as possible.
Oh my Gosh! YESYESYES!!! Thank you for the Old Refine Edge Tool! I didn't know that it's still available and missed it so much! Yes, I prefer the old tool ))) So, might be after watching this video I'll change my mind )
You did such a great job in this tutorial. Amazing how detailed you explained al the different options and the effects on the end result. This helped me a lot as a noobie to PS CC. Thank you so much!🙏
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I using masking all the time but didn't really know how to use the tools properly. Was getting frustrated. Then I figured maybe I would be able to do a better masking job if I really understood what the tools meant.
Terrific tips, Master R! I've used the two layer technique (one for body, the other for hair) before , but never thought of adding that final topmost layer - I really appreciate being schooled on it! 🙏
Thank you for the helpful tutorial! I appreciated how clearly you indicated how each tool worked independently, then used it on the image. Lasting knowledge! Yay!
Thanks, Jesus, these techniques are very helpful. The added steps separating the body and hair with select and mask worked well with one of my projects today. This works well with fine hair textures.
super tuto ! i will compare the hair painting with old techniques I learnt with most contrasty layer in channels and also the method of Matt kloskowski and Glyn Dewis where, by memory, they used some blend modes.
Wow, this is amazing. Mastering this will solve so many of my problems. As an author who designs her own book covers, I'm rarely able to have my subjects on a solid background as I purchase my images, so masking fine details has been hit and miss (more often miss). This will help the process tremendously. THANK YOU.
Thank you so so much for this tutorial! I have been struggling with this for years! I now finally understand how to use this tool! Looking forward to learning alot more from your channel.
When using the Poly Lasso tool, double clicking your mouse will automatically close the selection. The area selected will be defined by all your previous clicking, and then from the point where you double clicked to the beginning point of the selection a straight line will be drawn. If you are using the magnetic lasso tool a magnetic line will be drawn that best fits the pixels of the image. Just a quick tip for closing your manual selections.
Thank you so much!! You answered all my questions. I love to composite but my edges always glowed including the hair. You really helped me step my game up!! Also purchased the course. Thank you!
You presentation on masking is awesome! I have a question. While working on PS 2023 I lost the Refine Edge Dialog Box. How do I get it back. By Pressing SHIFT and Select & Mask, I get the dialog box from Older version of PS. How do I bring back the Dialog box from PS 2023? I am a regular follower of your channel and Subscribed you long before.
Holycow! I've been using the awful CC masking tools for years with bad results. You saved my life at the 3:10 mark my friend! Holding shift gives you the old, and in my opinion far superior and easier to use options.
Hi Jesús, would this technique work with such items as motorcyles, bicycles and veteran cars, please. Eg where wheel spokes instead of hair strands are the challenge? Thanks for your engaging video.
Thank you so much for your lessons, I'm moving forward thanks to your wonderfull information in photoshop I coudn't find in any channel else and please let us know about everything new.
Thanks bro. i got the solution that i couldn't open the Refine edge on PS cc 2020. After seeing your video i was tried it on my software and i got the solution.
Hi Jesús. I'm always running behind the upgrading. I have some issues maybe you want to clarify. First one : I'm using PS CC2017 and it hasn't the Select Object button . But it has an icon on the bar tool next to refine edge "Colores de muestra de imagen compuesta" that I dind't find the way to use it. The scond one, these are very great tutorial to be made in Espanish. Thanks

avoid spicy foods and caffiene.

Well done! I'll have to watch it several more times to actually retain all the techniques, but this is probably the best tutorial I've seen on this subject.
The most comprehensive and to-the-point explanation of the latest (CC 2020) Ps tools for selecting and masking. Low key, great pace...great work!

The world of 2020 is still a good place when I know that I can still rely on Jesús for the best PS techniques out there.
Hi, you are a true Photoshop Messiah! After this video I've probably really understood Select and Mask for the first time. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge with us.
I for one am grateful that you always include case specific for those of us with older versions of PS.
😊
I love how you show what you are doing and make it clear what menus or actions you are taking. Will watch again.
After trying several tutorials, this one has begun to make me understand what is going n.
this deserves over a million views. great tutorial. I like how you went through the different tools and showed how it works.
Thank you, Oladipo!

Excellent. This is the best discussion of the refine edge methods that I have came across.
Thank you, Leroy!

WOW! Thank you so much for such a detailed and easy to understand tutorial! You really are the Photoshop God.
Thank you, Joyce. But I am far from it!
@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel You are so modest :)
It could be the best tutorial I've ever seen on youtube
Thanks, Jesus, these techniques are very helpful. The added steps separating the body and hair with select and mask worked well with one of my projects today. This works well with fine hair textures.
The hands down best Photoshop tutorials! And I've used many. Thank you.
You are so good at your work that it looks like magic to somebody who just started the journey.
Pretty clear and concise tutorial. Of course, it will take real time practice to really grasp everything, but we are grateful for the headstart.
I always struggle for hair, but this is really awesome.
super tuto ! i will compare the hair painting with old techniques I learnt with most contrasty layer in channels and also the method of Matt kloskowski and Glyn Dewis where, by memory, they used some blend modes.
Wonderful Jesus, I'll need to watch this many more times, but, the information is all there, thank you

You're so much better than my college professor. I'm subscribing!
Great video. What do you do in case the two images do not match in size. For example, when you are placing a sky on another image?
Another excellent tutorial. I particularly liked the ladt bit with the clipping mask and using the inverted selection.
The tutorial is awesome! I've watched 4 or 5 tutorial before I find exactly what I want, thanks a lot!
Nice one very much in detail but a long way, I was wondering if there are any quick things or the same purpose.
hair cuting is hardest part for me.. but not now , thank you so much for greAT tutorials,
Jesùs, these are really solid techniques, awesome thank you!

AMAZING. Finally a great SELECT & MASK tutorial. Thank you.
