Aaron, it just blows my mind how you do all of these videos while speaking and showing at the same time.

[@JeffGloverArts]

The "overpaint & mask" tip is exactly what I've needed! Thank you!

[@chilecayenne]

Yup. the not worrying about overpainting and then masking off the overpaint is something I"d not thought of...D'oh!!
Long time viewer. Wow, I had kinda forgotten about my Phlearn Pro account, I will go check out all these new lessons ya'll apparently have been putting out!!
What a great tip, thanks again Aaron!!

[@dandiehm8414]

I learned Photoshop from Phlearn about 6 years ago, based on videos such as these. Excellent work, Aaron!

[@phlearn]

Thanks so much for phlearning, Dan!

[@Mrslam2000]

Love your Tutorials. You make learning the task so understandable and simple. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@jaimee.campuzanot.2702]

Thank you very much Aaron, nice tutorial, best regards.

[@donovanw.2943]

Thanks for the good info. I had no idea that I could use the clone stamp and healing tool on an empty layer to fix a layer below.

[@cathywebb2974]

You always have great tips. Thanks!

[@longboardfella5306]

thnxx...nice and useful again..

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Great video. This one goes into the Reference file.

[@youtubeaddict1]

The mask on the clone tool is a savior

[@alanthomasgramont]

Select the subject and invert to create a mask so you can clone stamp or heal without actually bleeding into the subject. This is far easier than cleaning it up later.

wish u happy deepavalli

[@maofangjushi4711]

Hi Arron, thanks for this video. One question: why do you have to create a duplicate layer before applying " content aware fill"?
Thanks.
Eric.

[@andreas.farsch]

You don't have to duplicate the layer, because you can choose to output on a new layer in the content aware fill dialog. I guess it's just a habit to do so, because the goal always is to work non-destructively. In this video here you can see that he often creates a new layer when he switches to the next tool. I think it's good to follow that habit.

[@minisky669]

Can we see some more pro tutorials Arron ? I want to see more pro courses ....

[@fyourhandlegoogle]

Cool, a tut on a white person for a change

[@acemanNL]

Don't forget the distractions on her skin!!!

[@da5idnz]

I woulda removed the tattoos as well. Graffiti on the skin..

[@ibrahimbhagat]

[@dandiehm8414]

No.
