I can't imagine a beginner finding a better tutorial than this, Colin.

This, so far, has been the best “beginner” tutorial for photoshop I’ve seen. Great pace and voice. I just subscribed.

Really helpful and very good pace. Please keep up with these “beginner” videos to help us folks who are struggling and frustrated with this extremely over-engineered and powerful tool. Having multiple ways of doing the same thing just seems to make it that many times more difficult and overwhelming to master the application. Thanks for doing these, look forward to more in the future.

This was the best explanation of layers I have seen. As a novice, I am looking forward to more "for beginners" content. Thank you

Nothing happens without the basics first. Great video - really helpful.

Thank you for the basics! Most videos assume a beginner understands this, thank you for taking the time to explain layers! Masks are another item I would love to understand better. Please continue to explain the basics of Photoshop, it is VERY appreciated!!! Also going slowly helps as well.

Best tutorial I've ever seen on layers. Have taken a PS class, read blogs, and THIS video suddenly made it all click! Now I "get" layers! Thank you.

[stephenmorgan]

you are such a good tutor. I am 51 and all my life struggled with information. ie I'm so slow. you teach literally like its a kids class. and that is just spot on for me. you are very clear with your information. Thank u. a brilliant demonstration.

[ncraspa]

As a somewhat seasoned user you surprised me with several things I didn't know. I thank you for that.

[merrillsmith]

Thanks, Colin I am a beginner and found this very useful please continue showing beginners tutorials

been using photoshop for years, got into some bad practice, forgot a lot of the basics. Brilliant tutorial, very useful, well paced, just right. Thank you

[araboston]

Thanks for being thorough and not skipping over descriptions of what everything does, looks like and where it's found. Perfect.

[peterdepra]

Excellent - very clear, nice and steady and probably the best intros out there currently. Keep up the good work - we need you!

[pedrocorreia]

It's the third tutorial I watch from you. I've seen tons of tutorials about layers and layer masks, but to be honest, yours are amazingly better, easy to understand. Thanks a lot for your support, patience and the way you like to do it. Thumbs up. 😊

[ChuckTipton]

Although I have been "fooling around" in Photoshop for years, I always enjoy watching these beginner tutorials, I learn something each time. Thanks for your time and effort.

I am a currently a Film Student at the Los Angeles Film and this was a great refresher video help me improve in Photoshop thanks so much.

[virginiarinkel]

Your comments are clear and in logical order. Thank you, I learned about merging down - that it only means one layer down, not all of the ones underneath, which I'm assuming would be flattened. Thanks again.

[darnellchristian]

COLIN!!! I love u, man. All of your videos are so relevant, easy to follow, and fun. Thanks for another great approach towards a seemingly confusing topic.

[allanbyrd]

The existing comments here pretty much sum up my thoughts about what you are doing with your "beginner" videos. I have had an uneasy relationship with PS for a long time and have ended up back in LR for my work. But now I am trying to learn to do good real estate interiors. This has brought me back to PS. You explained it in a way that I finally understand. Very helpful. Making progress. Many thanks. Your approach works for me.
