Wow. To be honest mate that’s probably the best video that I’ve learnt about intricate masking in years of watching you and others. I’ve been watching for like 5 years now. Learnt so much today. This will make compositing so much more refined and meticulous. Love it pal. Thanks Jesus.

Honestly, this is exactly the same for me. I was pretty confident with my "masking knowledge" but this video damn ! It's a really good trick to be able to use other colors channel to be used on different document.

The interesting (sad?) thing is that Calculations has been in Photoshop from the very beginning; it predates layers, and was the only way to create drop shadows, embossing techniques, and the like in the early days. But every time there's been an improvement to 'smart' selection tools, the more basic and fundamental options seem to get pushed further and further into the background and disregarded, which is a shame, as you demonstrated well here. Dan Margulis popularized (if not coined) the phrase "every image has 10 channels" in his 1998 classic book Professional Photoshop, and Bert Monroy & David Biedny's Photoshop Channel Chops from the same year tried to expand the understanding of channels for both selections and color correction (and more!), but neither was widely accepted. I never understood why, as they were both excellent guides to some fundamental underpinnings of digital imaging, and still applicable 24 years later. Thanks for the refresher!

Wow. This is actually a pretty impressive and comprehensive tutorial of using channels to create highly detailed masks and it doesn't shy away from discussing the tedious parts of touch ups. Thank you very much for this.

Super job. You're an excellent instructor & presenter. I think it's great that you show mistakes as well as successes, since that's the real experience of most people -- especially on technically challenging projects/experiments like this one. I've used Photoshop since version 3.0.3 and this is true: I've enjoyed your tutorials more than anyone's. You are great with the application; your videos "show" as well as "tell;" and you're a heckuva nice guy. All are invaluable assets that keep your students engaged & coming back for more edification. Thank you, sir. You deserve all the accolades you receive.

Great tutorial - the pace is level all the way through, if a little fast (some presenters start off slow, then speed up as they lose interest). I realise that it is really useful to have subtitles - effectively I get everything twice as I can read faster than you can speak.

This channel and piximperfect is best channels for learning photoshop
Excellent and thorough tutorial. As a Photoshop user since v1.0, I appreciate detailed descriptions of unfamiliar techniques and workflows. One thing I'd point out, though - converting to different colour modes via Image > Mode is a linear conversion that can cause significant problems such as overly dull images (esp. RGB to CMYK). Converting via Edit > Convert to Profile... gives much better results even with default colour profiles.
