    These videos are very well done and I enjoy the personality of Ed. Just a suggestion, and I hope you receive it in the manner in which it was intended, not to be critical but helpful. As a long time photographer and instructor when I am explaining layers to my students, I use the "clear acetate" sheets that were previously used for overhead transparency projections. My students seem to more easily understand the concept of layers because it is visibly evident. When you place a drawing over the subject or behind the subject that can clearly see what is happening. To show layer masking I use scissors to cut around the image to demonstrate masking. I can also have some tinted sheets (colored but still transparent) to demonstrate hue saturation adjustments by placing them over an image. Have a wonderful day and please continue with the informative videos...

    At 7:16 you have hidden the top layer and layer mask by clicking on the eyeball. While keeping the layer mask active (bracket showing) you begin to make a quick selection of the blue background on the layer 0 copy layer. How is that possible when you don't have the layer 0 copy active? When I tried it as shown with the top layer selected and layer mask highlighted, the quick selection tool only found the squiggly lines that I had drawn. What am I missing here? I wish I could figure this out as this seem to be a great tutorial. Can someone help me out?
