As an experienced photoshop user going on 14 years. You always seem to teach me something lol. Keep up the great videos. I've been watching since your dodge burn tutorial. GREAT CONTENT to you and the Phlearn Team.

These days, many of us getting obsessed about old filmic imperfect photos. It's a different type of style all together. I think this video is quite a timely content. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

Thank you for the shortcut key for layer blending modes. New one on me. I am confused though. The title is "How to Turn Photos into Textures in Photoshop", which sounded very intriguing, but the video seems to be about "How to apply textures to photos". Did I miss something?

Just found this channel! I've learned so much! Subscribed!!

The shortcut to scroll blending modes was new to me. I was wondering about the fill command. I use that a lot too on overlays.

Thanks for the video. It will help me to add some subtle edits to my edits.

THANK YOU! I learn so much from you but it would be nice if you slow down just a tad. I find myself rewinding too much. Thank you!
