Just discovered your channel and am gladly a new subscriber. This video was informative, useful, and just the right pace. Your explanations are clear and understandable. I loved the side-by-side comparisons. Well done and thank you!

Found this video super easy to follow and I like that you used a clear voice and not rushing through the tutorial. Thank you

[StormWarningMom]

This is actually super helpful. I was doing the same as you were demonstrating, but with a different picture. On the multi scan bit, I did my pic at 8, and then 10 scans, and they were bad. BUT then I did it with 16 scans, and that was the effect I was looking for. Thank you. :)
