You have covered so many simply complex topics that everytime I run into a problem you already have it in the playlist or you post a video about soon enough. I'm quite lucky to find your channel. Thanks Unmesh

I have learned from you whole photoshop ✌ best Photoshop channel !

[mihailnyagolov]

Your tutorials are incredible! I will be honest and say that as an architecture student I've been a bit hesitant to rely on Photoshop as a main solution to visualization problems. However, you've helped me understand concepts in Photoshop that you CAN'T GET looking at one of the many "ArchViz Photoshop tutorial" where they put 100 effects and everything is done at 4x speed. Thank you for your hard work and you deserve all the best! :)

04:41 "I'm not gonna get into THAT!" LOL Smart move my friend! XD

[nicoledremann]

OMG, I've learned, or rather, relearned from all of your tutorials! I had worked on PS when it had first came out, stopped after the 3rd edition as I felt it was to complicated as everything was learn by doing and asking anyone that had PS. Thank you!!!!

[imtotallyseriously]

It’s crazy how much I end up learning from each of Unmesh’s videos, despite being an average ps user for the past 3 years

[joshuajenniges]

Not the first comment but really thankful for everything you do. I've been stuck with work several times and you and your team have helped bail me out every single time. Thanks again!

Great video! I would also like to recommend saving images as TIFF, not PSD. TIFF is able to store all of the Photoshop data such as layers, smart objects, etc. while also providing additional compression methods. With compression enabled, I typically find that TIFF files are sound half the size of PSD. Give it a try!

Finding this for a long time finally found this from your channel. Thank you so much.

[AjithKumar-sotd]

U are part of my success in editing with Photoshop... I wish you good health with success and more knowledge

[pkrashidmahmood]

I have learned a lot from your tutorial that I have never learned before, thank you sir

[Dank_Lulu]

Hello, Unmesh! Have not watched the video yet, but the title alone reminded me that PC parts are limited these days and a lot of folk are learning Photoshop on slower machines from home. I would love a compiled guide on how to optimise Photoshop for older machines (especially for art-related stuff with many layers). You have done these in the past and I will get around to watching them, but just like the Curves adjustment layer, there's always something to tweak! And as always, thanks for the pro lessons!

[rythamsahni]

You are too amazing! Although I am very familiar with photoshop but everytime I watch your video I learn something new!

[johnphilippeandam]

Thank you for giving this technics, I learned every videos you upload

[jirikalacek]

Hi Razes, thank you for all your videos. It is always inspiring to watch them. At this case I would spread your 10 tips to dozen – 11) delete your working channels, if there are any; 12) check bit depth of your file (bits per channel) - in most cases 8 is enough.
