Been a self-learner, so I find this a treasure. There's other nice tutorials, but they might have not understand why they do what they did themselves, hence the lack of answers as to why they insists on a set of rules/methods. You're literally a savior to me!

[CalvinPowers]

I'm a newbie to photoshop and I bet I've watched twenty different videos on this topic and this is by far the best I've seen. It's both comprehensive and to the point/efficient in its presentation. And at the same time, you take the time to make sure we know how to find all the which is very helpful for a newbie.

[ChrisBriscoePhotos]

The best video I have ever found on masking hair. Wow. So many parts. I want to watch it over and over to lean every step.

[SpikeAllibone]

Honestly, I've lost count of the amount of hair masking tutorials I've watched... I've learned so much over the years, but this is the best video on Youtube I've seen. Like others, I've had to watch several times, and I still need to work more at refining my skills to fix things post shoot. Thank you SO much for taking the time to provide this free resource. I'm indebted to you!

[joycerivera]

I had a basic understanding of layer masks but this tutorial took it to a whole new level. I'm going to have to watch this several times to grasp the last several minutes. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials and explaining in such a clear manner.

[RickHenderson]

I’m stopping part way through to say the first few minutes are the greatest explanation of layer masks I’ve ever found.

[ΣτέλλαΚαταραχιά-φζ]

Not many professionals have the ability to explain technical things in simple terms and effectively. Well done !!!

[Korea_OST]

These are freemium tutorials. I bought the subscription of Phlearn pro tutorials and after watching this I realize you are teaching us very much for free. Respect and love for your

[artistjohnwoolley]

I've seen many tutorials do a bad job of explaining how a layer mask works but yours is great 👍

[NekoSmash]

Watched this after a dozen tutorials, and even thought this is from 3 years back, I feel it's the best one! Great job, and thank you for dished out the truth about sometimes having to go in there and getting our hands dirty!
Many thanks

[Smudge]

Professional tutorial. Excellent teacher, not condescending at all, just beautifully explained. Thank you.

[justanailartlover]

This is the best photoshop tutorial for layer masks for hair and people, I have learnt so much from this tutorial X

[donashley]

I've looked at hundreds of such tutorials . . . you are on the short list of "The Best". Thank you for getting to the important points and actually "teach" something - Well Done!

[Elle_M]

Love this! I had no idea how to do this! I took notes so I don't forget anything.

[saundersd]

One of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen, amazing and very clearly presented on a key topic. Thanks for sharing

[raisulislamsajib]

[irhgsy]

Vey impressed. Clear and straightforward examples.

[cyc]

your videos are truly for beginners.
explained the purpose and the use for every step.
thank you very much

[mrexcet]

Wow!! What's there to say? Finally a tutorial that actually tells that sometimes all the technical "gadgets" in fantastic Photoshop just isn't enough... you sometimes have to do it the old fashion manual way... That is really helpful. When Mr Magic Ramirez shows us tips and tricks it's always easy to follow even complicated tasks... That is what's usually is called great talent... And that Jesús, you damn right have tons of !! 👏👏
