What a gem of a tutorial. I've watched a variety of tutorials and usually felt more lost that helped. This has been the exception. The teacher is easy to follow. He doesn't talk and work so fast that you can't keep up and understand, and his insight is amazing. I highly recommend him and hope to find more of his tutorials.
Few presenters of PS, if ever, teach the subject as comprehensively as this presenter. It is not because it's evident in his clear, English speech, mastered delivery, and experience as a teacher but also, he's no phoney.
The very best explanation of layers I’ve seen. Thank you
Excellent tutorial. I am trying to learn PS and have been viewing various tutorials on YouTube. This tutorial is amongst the best I have viewed. It is very organised in the learning aspect, straight to the point with a high level of detail. The pace and teaching style of this tutorial makes it very easy to understand. Thanks Marc. 😊
I saw many tutorials . They are very fast . Yours is very neat , step by step not rushing . Thanks
Best tutorial on layers! Keep up the excellent work!
Just starting this now. Looking forward to it. And thank you so much for holding the hands of newbies! And thank you for the download images.
I got job but I'm not experience of PS so my boss said me I have to learn on YT about PS tutorials.
Hi, Very very well presented. understood about masking very well and clearly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , Thanks a lot
Please, Please explain
Great Tutorial well understood UNTIL I came to the MASK. Shall be grateful if you could explain the need of MASKING and I get confused when you interchange Black and White.
This has been the most concise PS tutorial I have seen thus far. I'm new to PS and have been searching for a tutorial where the person teaching moves at a speed and with details that make it easy to follow along and also to understand. Thank you so much for this video. I finally understand layers in a way that I feel confident that I can sit down and enjoy creating a piece of art that I can be proud of!! You have a great teaching style.
Excellent tutorial. I mainly use Lightroom, and occasionally photoshop.I have struggled with layers for years, picking up tips along the way. Guess what – your instruction to make sure that you are working on the mask for white to reveal, black to conceal is the first time anyone has made that clear to me. Thanks Mark, great stuff.
I'm just learning Photoshop. His explanations are clear, slowly derived and understandable, and easily followed. I have been viewing many Photoshop tutorials, and most do not explain the "why" of things. This guy does a fantastic job. The pace is perfect: just try and follow someone posting a "short." No can do. Kudos to you!
I've been using clip studio paint which has been ok for years I've just made the jump to photo shop. And just learning were all the tools are this is a fantastic great in-depth totoral brilliant just spend 4 hours going through it and getting a real feel of Photoshop many many thanks I'm subscribing and thinking of doing your photoshop course brilliant thanks for your brilliant expernation of the layers
ok with me being new to phtoshop I can't find the layers tab.. probably because I dont know hoe to change things to your setup. maybe a good idea to show us all how to arrange photoshop setup. that part I can't find… thanks anyway
Nice content ❤️
Well detailed ❤️
Great tutorial, not too fast (which is very important to grasp everything), not too slow, just as it should be…
Subscribed and gonna watch the other tutorials also, keep up the good work

Hi, I tried to drag my image onto the background and it shows the not allowed sign. Any ideas why it won't let me drag them?
Thank you for your explanation of layers and masks — good pacing!
This has been an awesome tutorial 👏 👌… It's a must watch, Thank you Sir
I love this amazing tutorial…
I’ve tried dozens of tutorials and all I got was frustration, you are the best teacher hands down! THANK YOU!
Thank you. Do you have these courses in Udemy or Linkedin learning?
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I have been a long-time Photoshop 'novice'. I am beginning to finally grasp the concept of layers and you have helped me greatly in better understanding the adjustment layers. I will have a lot of fun playing around with this going forward.
Thank you for your tutorial, the best tutorial on YouTube.
Great video, thank you!
Thanks!
