    This is the most comprehensive tutorial I've watched on smooth cut outs. It's clear, concise, and the trainer shows how to use the various cut out tools going from simple examples to harder ones such as a real life person. I learn't so many techniques in just this one tutorial!

    Creating smooth cut outs have my nemesis for years. It's going to take me a little time to get comfortable with all the steps, but this lesson has been one of the very best that I've watched.

    Arrow keys to fine tune the vector points is GENIUS!! Thanks for that!

    Thanks! I hadn't really even thought about vector masks and the pen tools too much since probably the 90s. This makes so much sense.

    You can never practice too much.

      In the beginning, after LimeWire worked, I used CS-3. Get this, the 'Polygonal Lasso" to cut out rounded objects. I couldn't understand what the 'pentool' was doing with all those Default shapes and crap so I increased the file size huge. I found a Tutorial by Mellissa Evans and it all began to make Sense. The Defaults were the problem. The first Useful page that got me Free from ignorance and my art all over the Earth. 3dmacphee 3dfantasys

      Holy smokes! I could not agree more ! I have never been trained except for the Alphabet in anything worth while. Self taught after that but it only can take you so far. Wait... I had a few good teachers but I was just a kid. It didn't help that I was up all night studying and building radios and things on my own and yakking it up on Ham Radio all over the World. Now We have Mr. Ramirez's channel.
      As a Second thought about learning general knowledge about Science and other cool stuff, I have to put in a Mention of Joe Scott, another UA-camr that does his best to make learning fun. And trust me, Photoshop is fun and Addictive as heck when you get the hang of it!

    @stagfm8527 5 років тому +9

    Yes, I knew that you can make a path out of a selection.
    But what you've been able to teach me is that the Alt (or Ctrl) key
    is the magic key for hidden or alternative options. THANKS!
    I always thought I already knew most of the tricks in Photoschop.
    But then ...
    I found your Videos.
    Great Job Jesús ;)

    Okay, I've just tried it again after giving myself time to absorb what you're teaching. I have to remove backgrounds from different machines built for roofing and civil engineering. Loads of different shapes and edges to smooth. This is by far the most effective and intuitive lesson I have ever had. I am a complete beginner, yes I've had Photoshop for about five years. But I never understood how to use it until now (and then I'm only learning about vectors) from you. Thank you for relieving me of this burden of feeling inadequate! I will watch over and over until I've mastered the techniques properly.
