    To those that care, this is still relevant in 2024. I needed to remove something from the background of an image and the Resynthesizer Plugin was exactly what I needed. His website directions were clear and concise on how to find the plugin. I really appreciate your hard work and effort sir.

    In these tutorials they never go over what can go wrong or why it may not work. For me the heal and clone tools work sometimes and other times I have to select the area I want to use them on otherwise nothing happens when I try to go over the area. When I try to heal an area sometimes it works perfectly but a lot of the time it changes the area to a weird color or deletes everything and leaves the area distorted. I do love these tutorials there is always great information and most of the time his directions work. I just wish I knew what I was doing wrong.

    I didn't watch the whole video yet but I can tell you what a layer mask does. A layer mask is an extra layer added to the image layer you're working with. It give you the posability to add transparency that easely can be undone. Compaire it with a windows as you please. Black blocks the view on the other layer so the top layer is visible. White (clear glass) gives you a view on the later beneeth the glass. If you use gray, half of the pixels will get blocked. Hope this will help you. I learned this on his Udemy masterclass and from fist hand I can ensure you that it is worth every single penny ;)

I am sorry if I am not explaining myself properly but I don't know all the technical terminology. Some one suggested I get Photoshop but on my pension I cant afford to do that.
