hey unmesh can you make a video on how to make an American to a Indian (by the way im a big fan of your videos)
You're born as a teacher. You have a gift. Thanks with all my heart.
Educational, intuitive progression, and non-condescending. Confident, knowledgeable, and kind. Clear, and concise communication. Voice is clear, robust, and welcoming. This could be a masterclass in how to make educational videos.
As basic as you may feel these are I find them close to my skill level and I've been using Photoshop for over a decade. I find them more helpful than the advanced courses that quickly go over my head. Thank you for these beginners courses...

True. Every episode has something that I either didn't know or have forgotten about
I love also the fact that you repeat important facts. The timing is great and repetition encourages the learning process.

@@KINGMODEOFFICIAL Too right! I'm very grateful when people explain things clearly so that it rubs off on me and makes sense. After watching this film I learned something I couldn't do before. It was such a marvellous feeling!
I have not seen any one who explains Photoshop like this dude.He's so detailed, explains things in a simple man's language.Thank you.

@agrafkaagrafka1542 And you have, huh? And they're for free, huh? Keep your sorry ass condescension to yerself
Absolutely applaud your method of teaching. Your way of explaining concepts to their most basic versions from these complex 'monsters' is astounding. Thank you so much. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪
I’ve been using Photoshop since the 90s and I find myself still learning about some of the stuff that I’ve never had the time to figure out. Photoshop has added so many things that you just kind of fall back on your old ways, and they have added so much amazing and powerful functionality over the years.
I've learned from this one video for hours. You were born to teach, among many other wonderous callings, no doubt. Thank you.
Bro just changed my life only with the shortcuts he casually dropped as a small talk
I"ve been watching videos nonstop for two weeks trying to ramp up learning a bunch of software that i need to get my work done. I am extremely grateful and impressed by the calm but very clear teacher in this tutorial. Thank you.
all my google accounts have your chanel for learning photoshop. the most simple, the best and fun way to explain something complicated in an esiest way. thanks brother. you changed my live.
I've been using Photoshop for a while and teaching myself as I go through trail and error and various photoshop KZread videos but this series has been the most helpful. Your style of teaching is understandable, the speed at which you teach and explain is perfect and also getting the project files to follow along is super helpful. Thank you for making this series. You are truly a gift and a God send. I can't wait to see how much my design style and abilities grow after completing this course :)
As always, I am so incredibly delighted to see these videos and that this makes learning the beautiful world of photoshop so easy to get into. Everything is presented incredibly well and I love watching these tutorials, even though I know basically everything (still has some useful amazing small things I didn't know!)
"Every day's a school day."...they're just better when you can learn from someone who knows what they're talking about and how to clearly impart the information. Keep doing what you do Unmesh and we'll keep learning.
This is an AMAZING series, thank you so much for taking the time to create it!
I love the way he makes everything look so simple
This course is pure GOLD!!! Your classes are very good and easy to unstandard! thanks!
You and Dan Scott are my fave Adobe teachers! You are amazing. Thank you for the free lessons and sharing your talents and knowledge, Teacher Unmesh! 🙏
Your Photoshop teaching skills are unmatched.
As a creator I can understand how much efforts he is putting for designing this content, at least plz hit like button
This was such a lightbulb moment for me! I am currently watching your videos because my teacher doesn't like to do his job. Love college lol
i always used to think photoshop is so difficult or very technical (which it sometimes is lol) but you make it soooo easy to understand. I Thank you with all my heart for taking out time and posting these videos for absolute beginners like myself ❤❤❤
I used to get so confused until I found your videos! The way you teach is amazing! You take time to explain why so that when I use a function I'm able to remember it better with other projects. Other tutorials I tried to learn from in the past were quick "Click here, now here, now here..." & I had to rewind constantly to try to follow along. Thank you so much for making these! You rock! 😎
When it comes to Photoshop or Lightroom Classic, there are just a few people I follow and can count those people on 4 fingers. Thank you for these videos which I have watched several times. I was a wedding photographer back in the day of 35mm film and lab processing and wish I had the knowledge you give freely and in such detail. I am, with my daughter, getting back into portrait photography and these videos have been a great help. Thank you so much and hope you can continue to teach and carry on your tradition.
Absolutely love the way you present information, so helpful and easy to understand. Thank you
Wondering why so few likes and comments comparing to the first one videos of the serie. This has so much to learn, its incredible. Thanks you guys.
I STG I've learned more from you than I did in actual in-person class.

Thank you for all the effort i was frustrated at first but watching your tutorials made it easy for me to grasp the concepts of photoshop
Thank you for a quick and easy refresher course. I appreciate the free lessons too.👏🏽👏🏽
You Sir are a very good communicator and educator 5 of 5 stars - Thank you and blessings 🙏🙏✨✨
I wish you were around when I first delved into learning Photoshop many years ago. You're an excellent teacher! The new generation of Photoshop is so lucky to have you! Though I have been using Photoshop for years now for my artwork, I'm discovering some new things! "You can teach an old dog new tricks"😂Keep up the Wonderful work!!!!
I love how you keep on going even after making a few mistakes. Thank you!
I became a Fan of your style of teaching. You're one of the best teachers I've ever seen. Take my heartful Love.
So great. I can't believe this content is free. Super informative and helpful.
Thank you so much for another amazing lesson full of fun project! I can't wait to complete the course and start messing around with my images! Once again thank you, those are the best tutorial videos one can hope for !
You doin an AMAZING Job Unmesh, Even knowing PS for the last 15 years - Watching your Tuts, is a treat! :)
who knows the name of this lecturer ? if only he was my maths teacher 😄💯 He explains to every detail perfectly and eloquently.... huge respect to the incredible team behind piximperfect💯🙌🙌 you've made photoshop soooo easy for me and alot of people....... Thanks for making this free and for all yall do. ONE LOVE ✌ FROM NIGERIA.
hands down the best teacher!! Your teaching style is unmatched, i would never go to anyone else for a tutorial. Amazing work & thank you for the priceless knowledge!
I have learned typical entire course in one video. This is amazing! Keep it up bro... 👍
Your lessons are great. Simple and understandable, even for an armature. This is the best youtube channel I ever found to learn photoshop. Keep going with all the good stuff. Wish you all the best..!
love you. love your videos. learnt so much from you over the past couple of months, more so than from anyone else over the years I've been using Photoshop. The reason I love your content is because you're not one of these arseholes that will only show so much and keep back the real high quality information for paying customers. You actually go all out and seem really happy to share your knowledge and I love that. It's not surprising you're at the top of everyone's top 10 Photoshop channels.
Thank you so much!!! Really need this help and your video was the best one available! Easy to understand!
I am yet to see a better teacher than you are, thank you so much. I appreciate the value you give for free❤
This is GREAT! I do find that at times you move through things rather quickly - too quickly for me to grasp what you're doing - but that's the beauty of videos; I can go back and rewatch as much as I need to. 😁
I thought I knew everything about Photoshop, but you just taught me a game-changing technique! My mind is blown.
thank you so much for the well produced and well explained course, it's helping me so much!
Great tutorial. Good pace of instruction and recapping of information. Thank you.
I'm an Affinity Photo user - don't use Photoshop that much. But you are a rockstar and a prodigious talent. I watch your videos just to marvel at your mastery and your ability to teach. Even us non-Photoshop users wind up learning many things from you. Thank you!
Amazing content! As I suddenly have to use PS for my projects your videos have already helped me a lot. I love the shortcuts you show and your explanation/visualization of concepts gives me another deeper way of understanding the what's and whys for these tools. Thank you!
You are a brilliant teacher it's about repetition so we can comprehend it if we didn't catch it the first time❤️🔥
Merci pour cet enseignement enthousiaste, intelligent et d'une incroyable richesse. Il est très constructif de se faire rappeler que la base sert à la compréhension de beaucoup plus!
You are the GOAT of photoshop
What a great and well thought out tutorial. Thank you for the tutorial and sharing, you guide with patience and eloquent explanation. I really like all your tutorials and follow them eagerly. Isr Kach thanks you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the great knowledge👋
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you!
You are really good and also a good teacher ❤️ … form BANGLADESH 🇧🇩
Great training. The explanation is so clear and easy to understand. Thank you.
This was amazing! I'll be watching this many more times due to the quantity of information given
Que aula show!!! Parabéns pela qualidade das aulas.
This is so cool and thank you so much. Such a great refresher.
Thank you, I study photoshop with some one else, and now watching this video, i can say you are a much better teacher, i actually understand layer mask now, and to say i been using photoshop for so long ....Thank you sooo much
You are truly blessed by ma saraswati. I mean it! The art of being blessed and then being a blessing for learners The thing kd steam from the ears is so apt. I had been a mess in learning photoshop its been few weeks and eveything Just went above the head in class. The way you break things. Helps. Back to back these spontaneous lessons that are coming up. Thank you for these so badly needed by a newbie 🙏💫
You should also add the double mask photo in the practice set. By the way thank you for teaching. I am really happy that I find a channel like yours.
You are such a fine instructor and wonderful pedagogue. Kudos to the teaching skills!
wow you are a great teacher. This is the best photoshop channel out there by far. Well done
You are just amazing Umesh!!! Very informative and easy to learn videos...Keep it up
You’re the best tutor on this tube I’ve ever come across, making everything simple thank you boss
I can't thank you enough for these precious videos dear.
Great tutorial. I've learned lots. I saved it so I can go back to it. Thanks for doing these tutorials.
Thanks a lot for your free and high quality content
You are worth your weight in gold. These lessons are soooooo helpful thank you
I am a 3d artist and I usually enhance my renders in Photoshop Camera Raw Filter. However, I felt absolutely lost and helpless with other PS tools. This course fits perfectly to my needs - thank you so much for it!
thank you so much dude! im a beginner in photoshop and am taking a vocational school class lab about photoshop and you have explained it very well. you just got a new sub!
Watching one of your videos, I realized that I was far from knowing all the possibilities of basic elements such as masks, curves and blend modes. So I've decided to fill the gap by subscribing to your channel and following your training courses, including and especially those on basic tools, because with you I'm discovering how to use them better and go further. Even if I have to display the subtitles and reduce the speed (I don't speak English very well), it's a real pleasure to watch your videos, because you explain things so well. Thank you so much for this video, which will help me to do more and better with masks.
Love the content man, nobody explains it as well as you keep it up🎉
Man, you're a legend! Thank you so much fot all the tutorials.
Thanks. Because of this video, I start learning it, love it.
