Best tutorial I've seen. No stupid music, no unessesary introductions, just straight to the point. Such a wonderfully crafted video.

This is the tutorial I was looking for since long, and finally found it. The important part of your tutorials is, you mention every option in detail and also for windows and Mac. Thank you for sharing...

Awesome, I spent hours making a mosaic image by opening an image, resizing, cropping, and adding it to my image and repeating 120 times. I wish I knew about this method last week. Thank you Marty! You rock!

My teacher really loves your videos. Everyday when we get into our Photoshop lesson, she usually puts one of your videos as the lesson. Shes killing 2 stones by making you teach us and we get more in depth learning. I also really love these videos as well. As of right now I don't have Photoshop, but these videos really make me want to get it!

This was the best presented tutorial ever. Super clear, simple, very very well done. I will surely check out the rest of your content. Thank you!

Marty, that was absolutely the best tutorial I have ever seen on any subject. You made my day and now I have to figure out how to follow you, forever, Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Marty, you're a dream come true for an envisioned project I hold so dear! I appreciate this tutorial so very, very much! A ton of thanks to you!

[donnahogan]

Love how simple you explain and take the time to zoom in and highlight what it is you are saying, thank you so much, excellent tutorial

[burgocis]

Perfect! Actually, the idea is pretty simple, but the result is just great! Special thanks for the high quality video, superior narrating sound (100% understandable speech that is crucially important for those whose first language is not Eng like me) and for the detailed explanation of everything you do! Amazing!!!

Finally, easy to follow Photoshop tutorials.

Once again... another Great Video & Steps to follow! Thank you!

You are professional photographer!! I always watch your videos daily!! I support your videos too much as 100%.

The "Amazing Marty" Thank you so much sir. I haved learned so much from you in my Photoshop journey! Continued success sir.

Probably one of the best PS tutorials I have seen. Namely the speed was just right. Sometimes videos are so blazing fast you can't possibly follow or even take notes. Explanations clear and screen image of dialogue boxes were large enough to actually see. Some videos have elements so tiny you almost need to use an electron scanning microscope to even see what is being chosen, .Great job !

[jphish]

Wow! Great video! I've watched many dozens of Photoshop tutorials, this video is among the highest quality. Great work!

[karansarswal]

WOW! i didn't though this would be that EASY!! Thanks buddy.

[arvinsantander]

The most detailed tutorial ever! This is what beginners need! Thank you for making this. 😄😄
