You're an exceptional teacher. I always understand your explanations and learn so much. Keep up the GREAT channel

one more best thing, after you done the 3d extrude, simply switch off the depth layer. reveal only the light layer and then rasterize it. it will produce more realistic instead of making mask on it.

Thank you Jesús. Yes I will. One of the things I've always struggled with is making the shadows look realistic. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I'm learning every day.

I actually started an old school notebook (like in pen and paper) where, time permitting, I jot down the techniques you show together with the tips, tricks. It helps me memorize stuff and I find it handy when trying to recreate some of the procedures you show. Photoshop Reference Manual is more like a tools inventory; you explain the way these tools may be handled and what we can build using them. Much appreciated every time!

I'm a beginner, especially with CC. I've been using PS since version 4 with a 5-year break due to illness. I've tried several teachers on youtube and you are by far the best one I've found. I have watched 4 videos so far and with your techniques and explanations, my confidence level has greatly increased. Thank you so very much.
In regards to a question on whether I prefer short tutorials vs the more lengthy ones, I choose the longer ones.
