Imagine getting teachers like him in school. That was just expertly taught, I've never seen anyone explain the intricacies of masks so well. Amazing job sir!

I'm an illustrator and though not a beginner with Photoshop, I've not used masks at all so far. Having checked out a few tutorials on the subject, yours stands out head and shoulders above the others for its clarity and excellent teaching. Thankyou so much for taking the time! Now I want to see all of your tutorials!!

Thanks Colin, for sure the most difficult element to get my head around. Watching other "tutorials" made it more confusing. So far, this has been the easiest and most concise tutorial yet, of course, I will keep this in my save file as I am sure I will need to keep watching it. But I know once I am more clear on this, the rest has to be easier. Thanks again!

Having used Photoshop for many years I am still learning from Colin he is just the best teacher on YouTube...and beyond! I was just looking for videos for people new to Photoshop layer masks and ended up watching the whole video again.

Thanks a million after messing with my brains for the past 3 years I've actually got a grasp of Masks in PS due to the way you described it in great depth but in a simple manner. Please continue with this beginners tutorial as I've been actually intimidated to open PS in case I mess up which I always did till NOW, so a huge 👍up to you.
