I’ve doubled my PS knowledge after just reading your free guide for 5 minutes.
Although I have used layer masks once or twice, I find that constant reinforcement is needed for it to be “locked in” somewhere in my head.
( I’m 73… it takes an effort. Lol!)
I really appreciate your openness in sharing your knowledge here.

Your explanation was 🤌, from watching my professor's video (I'm in design school) and another youtubers video for probably 40 minutes and being frustrated, to watching your video for less than 4 minutes and figuring out what I was trying to do!!! Thank you so much!!
