Usually i use pluggins to help me on that... mainly because i get photos of people using white color clothes on white background. i know that the best way would be to try to create some contrast between them at the time of the photo was taken, but sometimes i can't... but your tips were great!! the important thing is to know different ways to different needs.. i just like to share some things, like i don't like to use brush to refine a mask, i like to use the Dodge and Burn method. one method that i use to creat quick with lots of details mask is by duplicatin a image, create a white mask, select it and use apply image on it. thanks for Sharing!!

Wow! I never realized I could save a selection LOL. I've been seeing that option for years but never clicked on it. Thanks for opening my eyes to this method!

Stepping into PS for the first time, this guy is a wizard. Thank you for all the info!

Thank you! I forgot all about the polygonal tool, just made my selection so much easier. 🙌
-
Seriously. Thank you. You share your huge knowledge you worked hard for with others for free. This is simply awesome. Thank you!

Never in my life have I paused & rewound a video as much as this one. Spent almost the whole day practicing these techniques on several photos, and I couldn't be any happier with the results. Thank you so much for this video, and all your videos for that matter...much appreciated! Now where's the Excedrin?! lol

I love TutVid!! When you're that smart, it's hard for the mouth to keep up with the brain. I think he's fabulous and goes into helpful details that many others do not.

Mate! I have literally upped my game in like a few days just by watching your tutorials. In my opinion the best photoshop tutorials on youtube! Thank you!
-
You are the gold standard sir!

Quick selection tool is the king!

Photoshop is good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it people like it!
-
That bonus is on point! I always tend to forget about it

Great video Nathaniel. I never tired calculations. I will certainly keep that in mind. I use to dodge and burn the layer mask at the edges to gently fix gray areas of a mask, but I will definitely try the soft light method. Thanks again.
-
Thank you. Got stocked with basics. Yours is easier.
-
Thank you - this is phantastic overview and starting point for my own development. Great!

I needed this yesterday, but so glad I found it today!!

I used to be really good at Photoshop, back before the days of 'Youtube', when one had subscribe and to and read through photoshop forums for hours and hours.. honestly, but after not having used it intensely since version 7....... I suck at it now, I really can't remember even the basics, it's depressing :-( I used to have my own website which I built (which no longer exists ) dedicated to teaching Photoshop .... but now I can't do a fraction of what I used to do. It's true what they say I suppose "Use it or you lose it" Love these tutorials man.

this is one of the best photoshop tutorial video I have ever seen, not only you were able to discuss the important facts, the flow was good, instructions were clear and concise, and the tutorial was very focused and true to its title, which is to teach the viewers how to isolate items properly. thank you so much!! more power to your channel.

Thank you for your time and knowlege!!! I love that you cram a bunch of info in this video. I love that you talk fast and get to the point. If you know photoshop it is no problem keeping up. If you don't hey, just keep rewinding and watch it over and over. That is the great thing about these FREE videos, you can go back as much as you need to and hit pause and learn at your own speed.
