    *New FASTER way in Photoshop 2024:* kzread.info/dash/bejne/eYussKaIopDXYM4.html Hi everyone, Steve here. Thanks for checking out this video where I show you how easy it is to fade an image to black, white or any color background with Photoshop. We start by creating a new document (0:23) and placing an image into it (1:04). Then we move the image to one side (1:42), add a Solid Color fill layer (2:05) and fade the color into the image using a layer mask (2:52). Once the main effect is done, I show you how easy it is to change the color (6:14) and how to make any final adjustments to where the image and the color are fading together (7:20).

    Hi Steve... really Superb, awesome & fantabulous presentation skills. Very thankful for your dedication towards your subject explanation on Conceptual basis. I love the way you explain the concept of each and every content in very detailed way. God bless you abundantly keep going man... Lots of gratitude for your immense hard-work for your effort. I Love to see your videos more frequently keep posting minimum 20 videos (i.e., 5 Videos per week) in a month you deserve much better place as a tutor at-least there should be 2M Subscribers to your channel but, it so sad to look that your channel subscription figure is just limited to 110k subscribers.
