  1. If I want to blend in a woman’s face into the sunset, I could select it and use a move tool, set opacity lower and erase the edges. Why use a layer mask? I don’t mess up. If I did, I could just re-do the image.

  2. This easy to follow tutorial saved me time and aided me with a simple bit of editing I wanted to do on a photograph. Thank you! p.s I also learned through your video about right clicking whilst using the brush tool will allow me to quickly adjust the brush size or brush tool

  3. Look no offence but you went straight to the tutorial by showing people you had two layers of B&W and the background image.

    Why didn't you explain how to get to that point before explaining how the technique works?

  4. Awesome tutorial thank you! Have one question tho. Sometimes when I am trying to paint on my mask layer it will just paint in white or black instead of revealing or concealing a layer. Any advice or solutions?? Thank you very much!

  5. OH my gosh. SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU !!! 😀 Seriously, I can't say how much this helped me. I've been clicking around on various tutorials for about 40 minutes. Yours has helped more than anything by far.

  6. Couldn't you essentially just use the eraser on the top layer to reveal the bottom layer? This is where I get lost. Why bother with masks if all you're doing is erasing things to reveal what's below? Seems like unnecessary steps. What is it that I'm not understanding here?

  7. You are a life saver for us Photo Shop beginners, you didn't go into your lifes' story or ramble on & on into infinity. YOU GOT RIGHT TO THE POINT. Thank you so much!!!

  8. Hey, Love the tutorial, but when i switch back to paint out a mistake it's not completely removing the colour, the white is leaking some saturation from the layer below, it's on 100% and i have all the settings at 100% and on normal, any help?
