Thank you so much for your tutorials. You explain them in such a clear and uncomplicated way without going into too much "nice-to-know" as opposed to "need-to-know" information. Once I learn how you do it I pick up on the more complicated aspects myself. It's not boring and it inspires me to continue learning. THANK YOU!!!

Super easy to follow - and not much has changed since 2012! Learning Photoshop with Marty's tutorials has been a great way to pass the time during the pandemic.

This is the best tutorial I've been to for Photoshop, so many videos make assumptions or skip parts, this was excellent.

[petervadasz]

this is the first video in my life, which is simple, essential, and clear. Without prolixity and narcissist thing...
only the way
Bravo, and thanks for it!

[TessaiHoops]

Excellent tutorial! Super clear, simple and straight to the point. I needed to ad a shadow into an image today and this totally nailed it. Thanks so much!

Still so much better than all the new photoshop tutorials that drag out the video forever, thank you

[kuzcomerlin]

Thanks for this great tutorial. It was exactly the explanation for the project I wanted to make.

[LovleyLemonade]

This tutorial is old as hell, but it still helped me immensely. Thanks!

[DorkyGirl]

Thank you so much for this video it helped me out a lot. I am mostly self taught but I could always use a little help at times and you really came through for me.

[bowsernyc]

[alexcrowson]

Hey Marty! I love this tutorial. Quick, concise, clear! Keep it up.

[marcusduck]

This is great. Not many photoshop tutorials tell you exactly how to do the shit you wanna do, but this tutorial is super clear. Other tutorials either have 10 mins of talking and not get to the point, or they do it so fast to the point where I switch to my Photoshop window for a sec and then switch back to youtube and the asshat has completed the task that he was supposed to teach. Thanks.

[Silverslayer]

Really great. So simple, yet so professional looking. Helped a lot!

[darlonanacleto]

You really know how to teach: easy to follow step by step and clear voice. Best tutorial on YouTube. Tks.
