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.
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.
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.
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.
I've struggled for soooo long trying to mask out and extract hair. Your tutorial filled in the missing step for me. Many many thanks. I will struggle no more.
Omg, I prefer to listen to you rather than listening to my teacher in my 3 years in school I never ever learn this easy way.! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! hope I can learn more in your more videos to come.
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!
WOW WOW WOW!!!! I cannot believe ive just stumbled across this!!! The first tutorial for select and mask where I have genuinely learn how to select and mask correctly!!! This is how its done people!!!! so happy thank you!!!
Just blown away by how much useful information you're providing. These tutorials are invaluable - thank you so much for sharing. My efforts in Photoshop have come a long way since I started watching your videos.
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!
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!!
It's great that you take the time to give GREAT instructions in PS without the cost that others want you to pay for. All your tutorials are a jem!!! Thanks again.
Normally i dont put any comment under any video on youtube but this time cannot control myself not to do it , because you are amazing ! As a newbie, I really get what i need clearly on this video . Each step is explained well. Thank you so much! im gonna continue to watch your other videos and apply while watching
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!
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.
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.
I've looked at multiple sources, yours was the best one, especially thankful for: 1) Very easy masking and hiding hair wisps in portraits, 2) highlighting through dodge and burn
Omg... I'm obsessed with the way you explain!!! So clear and every single comment and clarification is so to the point... Thank YOU! Definitely subscribing and re-watching this video after I'm done with my project and this specific single issue you so awesomely helped me with right now!!! Four thumbs up for this video!!! 👍👍👍👍
This channel is going to teach me a lot about photoshop. Your work is very professional and amazing 100%. Thank you so much for creating this platform.
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.
Wow dude. I thought I was good with PS, but you just revolutionized my workflow in about 15 minutes. Can’t wait to put these techniques into practice! +1 sub
Amazing video, I use photoshop a lot amaturely and even still I didn't know about this way of doing it. I had searched for the hair refinement method for ages and people always explained so badly, you did it very well.
WOW thank you so much for such informative tutorial! I love that u explain every key via the entire process. Extremely professional and remarkable! You have earned a hard fan!!! Keep up the great work!
Simply amazing! Best explanation of select and mask (wish I had this years ago). So many good tips and practical examples with this tutorial. Brilliantly done! Thank you!

Extraordinary explanation. A master of the tool and a master communicator. Not everyone is a master of both. Great.
