Thanks! You are simply amazing, and I LOVE your positivity!

This is excellent. There are SO many hair selection tutorials out there, that they tend to melt together and become impossible to evaluate. Thanks, Unmesh (once again!)

Went to a Photoshop class. The dudes were impressed with my skills. The truth is I've been learning with you all these times. Not going to deny, learning face to face is easier but most of the stuff you teach really stayed in my mind

[mccloysong]

I do photoshop professionally and am always amazed at how little I know. The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder. I'm astounded at how much you know.

You ARE the most valuable and best Photoshop learning source and yet you are so humble and down to earth, you still say that we need to check all other sources out there. RESPECT for the teaching capabilities that you have, and once again RESPECT for the well-raised person that you are!!! NO other source needed regarding Photoshop, only Piximperfect - a whole-hearted recomendation!!

[WaqasYTC]

I've purchased numerous tutorials, subscribed to tutorial websites, and amassed over 4TB of Photoshop tutorials. Not a single video among them comes close to matching one percent of your style of explaining and making things make sense. Hats off to you!
PS : And I'm gonna get back that space.

This is wonderful. Such a clear and concise explanation about selecting hair that works. Unlike hair, there's nothing messy about this method, and I've combed through many videos on selecting hair!

Only seasoned veterans understand the value of "dynamic workflow" and this channel is all about that. Every single tutorial is dynamic instead of "brushi-brush-done-go"
Brilliant work.
