You are AMAZING! Not only that, you play the guitar! I knew you were good people when I found you on CreateLive......to ans your question: not yet, but Im learning stuff b.4 I splurge on it. It frightens me. But not as much after listening and watching you. I see differently now when I shoot. I think Im ready. I really want to learn to compost an image into a Salvador Dali self portrait/ kind of abstract Iknow. But I have to learn how to create whats in my head. Baby steps.....

I actually was doing most of these tricks... but in a very clumsy way, just in the layers. Erasing away parts of them, using gradient in the selections, then deleting part of the images... the whole Layer Masks and blending layers sections were a complete mystery to me until I came across this channel. Good job, thanks!

Exactly what I needed to start work on a different edit to my flower images - now I properly understand layers!! Thank you for making this tutorial so interesting and so easy to follow!
Thank you! I learn something every time I watch the tutorial. Exclusively a LR user but starting to realize the absolute power of PS. As a senior citizen though, it is not easy trying to grasp its staggering number of features. As an amateur landscape photographer I'm trying to limit my learning to those features best suited to that genre. Most helpful....thanks again.
Colin, you’re by far the best PS&LR instructor on you tube. Your deliberate and concise approach is so easy to follow. Not too fast like some. I am fairly well experienced using the apps but always learn more watching you. Thanks
You are a masterful teacher. You teach not the old and stale how, but you conceptually define why and where in a very easy and intuitive method. Very deep and painless. Keep going! thank you!
I use layer masks yes, I love them so Thank you for the tips. You never stop learning. Great tutorial and superbly presented. 👌🏽
Love this type of tutorial. Can't get enough on layer masks... It is very cool! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the community! Your style is very pro learning and helps a lot. I knew pretty much all the 7 tips but seeing them in actions gives me new ideas on how to apply them. Example, recalling a selection to limit the workspace of a brush for better refinement of a mask.
Taking introductory courses in BOTH Lightroom AND Photoshop, so you've been VERY helpful! THANKS A MILLION!
I have subscribed recently and going through all of your brilliant tutorials. In this video for me using 50% grey instead of reducing opacity of brush to get consistent results in each stroke was brilliant. I have always struggled with overdoing or under doing using the opacity method. Thanks for that.
Thanks for the tutorial. I use both LR and PS. I have been learning both by watching KZread videos and it's always great to learn something new. I have been using masks for a bit now and have finally become much more comfortable with using them. Thanks again.
Knew about half of them and loved learning more! Great video, thank you so much for it! As far as PS/LR, I really use both depending on what I need. I use Lightroom primarily for all photo tuning and use Photoshop for any sort of transformation.
Your tutorials are so great and to the point! Thanks a lot for your time and effort
Thanks for the great tutorial, Colin. I learned a lot of about layer masks that I didn't already know.
I really appreciated the tips being printed out on the screen as I like to take notes. I had just watched another good mask video; but learned new tips here that helped clarify. You have such a well thought out process. The repetition of key points was very helpful, and the pace was too.
Well, for me masks were the one of the first things to learn (PS user since v. 7.0, till CC2018). They are great to learn not only as a specific software option, but as a concept. Many programs use these, for example video editing/vfx softwares like Vegas or After Effects, but also other graphic programs, not only raster but also vector. I currently transfered to Affinity package and both Photo and designer has masks. Mastering this technique will really give you an advantage in a lot of fields. For example I also learn & practice things in game design, and in Unreal Engine you also can mask things with black color. So in one sentence: master masks as a concept, and it will help you in many areas ;). And by the way: great video Colin!
These are the best tutorials ever to watch, all very clear to follow and perfect pace. I only knew about 20% and now keen to develop my skill. Thank you so much!
WOW! Absolutely AWESOME tutorial. Never had such clear instructions. What a teacher! Thank you, a thousand times.
I knew nothing about layer mask at the beginning of the video, but now I’ve understood how to use them. Thank you so much, this was so much easier to follow than other tutorial videos.
Thank you! You've made it so easy to understand layer masks.
Glad I found this tutorial - will be looking for more. Layer masks I have found confusing, but will watch this video a few more times until I fully understand. Thank you.
It's a masterpiece for beginners like me about the use of layer mask! Thank you.
Really clear and easy example of using layer masks and the pace of the tutorial is great. Excellent. Thank you.
Brilliant stuff mate. just learning Layer Masks and you really break it down to the core elements and give an idea of the possibilities. really appreciate it.
Thank you, keep making more stuff! Full power to you! All the best! Helped me a lot.
You are an amazing teacher, thank you for tutorials.
Thank you SO much Colin. You explain SO well. Finally I understand Layer Masks properly.
Thank you, that was perfect,! No nonsense straight to the point and no annoying music to distract from lesson
I am just starting to learn the masking with you Colin. Thank you again so much.
Very clear information at a speed that allows me to follow, with some useful tips along the way. Thank you!
This was helpful. All these years and was never sure how to use layer masks but this explains it crystal clear. Thank you!

I love layer masks! Been using them for a while, but still got some neat tips. I do use Lightroom as I'm on the CC Photo plan. I find myself using it more as I learn more about it. Good stuff as always!

Thank you! I only knew the first two tips, it was all new after that. Great video.
Thank you so much for this amazing easy to understand tutorial!
I’m a beginner to Photoshop. The first few videos I watched were from people who talk so fast that you can’t even follow what they’re doing on the screen. This gentleman is easy to understand and has the ability to talk to beginners in a way that is more user-friendly. I highly recommend watching these videos!
Thank you so much for the help I was stuck for a while trying to figure out these multi layered photos 💯
I use both Lightroom and Photoshop, for the reasons you share Colin. Thanks for the great tutorial and your efforts.
Hearty thanks Colin, nice tips
Great teacher!! Easy to follow without a lot of extraneous info. Tips were very good . I didn't know any of them.
Thank you Colin, another wonderful teaching!
This is the best tutorial I've seen yet. thanks!
another fantastic tutorial, thanks Colin
Great tips, thank you!
You are an excellent teacher. I keep following your tutorials. I thank you for these. My best wishes to you.
Wow, Colin! Very cool tutorial!! I use Layer Masks a LOT! When coloring, I use an Adjustment Layer, Reversed, then, paint in the coloring. Love them!! I only have PS and Ai.

Thank you. This was very helpful.
You are are great instructor! Thanks Colin
I use LR for general, initial, adjustments and PS for more detailed work on selected photos. PS is the best for using layers.
Thanks a bunch Collin! I’ve used Layer Masks for a long time but you can always learn something from watching others. I didn’t know about some of the keyboard shortcuts.

Awesome! Thanks for commenting
Thank you for an excellent lesson on layer masks! Finally, after being confused by a lengthy expensive (highly acclaimed) beginner program (numerous courses) and many free tutorials from the actual Photoshop company, I have found someone who speaks slowly and clearly, and tells me what I really need to know! Why, what, and how! I also love the fact that you teach how to modify photographs! (what Photoshop was made for!) while so many courses focus more on advertising, website design, social media tricks, etc. People who need that stuff probably learned it in college or company training. I just want to repair, merge, modify, and perfect my photographs! I look forward to more lessons! You're the best!
