  21. A couple of years ago (working with photoshop since 1997) I stumbled upon these Tutorials and learned some new tricks every now and then. So I decided to follow your channel, and also bookmark Videos that had very useful information. I had to stop making the bookmarks, because every video is a real treasure now, and my list became unmanageable. so I just made a mental note: all the answers you need, are on the piximperfect channel XD.
