I love when you explain something that makes complete sense and then ask if it made sense, answer that it didn’t make sense, and then explain it again. Seriously, I love it. So funny. But also, showing the different ways to understand something is the mark of a great teacher.

Your videos could not be more quick and concise. You quickly tell us how to do these things but also you say commonly asked questions and answer them. And not to mention the perfect production quality! Simply amazing.

I've been taking Photoshop classes for years and I never knew you could make so much use out of the smudge tool and the legacy brightness and contrast. Very well-made video!

Recap, Yes please! Very welcomed addition to your presentation!

My favorite way of dealing with fringes is to create an hue/saturation adjustment layer. Set it to some dark brown color, or whatever fits best. Put a mask on it and then just paint over the fringed. Effectively what you are doing is that, instead of removing the fringe, you change the color of the fridge to something that makes it look like its a natural part of the image.

Very talented instructor. Learned a lot and I love that the commands are zoomed in so we can actually see what is being done. The recap is such a plus. Thank you from Constance in Prescott, AZ, USA. PS: Kudos for no background noise...I so dislike the distraction and the sudden volume changes at 3 am in the morning.

I see why you are deserving of the praise you keep getting.

Mate, the brightness/contrast trick at 5:40 made my day! Thanks!

[GreenSlugg]

Thank you so much for this! I spent all day trying to do this "by hand" - still learning how to use everything, so I don't think of it as time wasted, I think of it as time learning!

[stephenbusscher]

Thank you! For a quick and dirty: select everything you don't want around the object, go to the top bar and click select > refine edge... then, put like 2 in the radius box and drag shift edge to 100% (play with these to get what you want). Then, click "ok" and delete your selection. You can also adjust feather in "refine edge" in order to smooth the edges a bit.

Ever learn a solution to a problem that's plagued you for years and then someone makes it look so simple to fix. You are out of this world.

[nicolasdupouymanescau]

So good! One tip I use when I do contract the selection is to Hide the selection. The grey tinkling selection line disappears so I have a clear view of what I'm doing while working on the edges.

[haikalharrion]

your method never fail to amazed me, and it shows on how little I know about Photoshop and i'm learning tons from your tutorial. Im grateful!
