THANK YOU!!! You break everything down so well! I haven't been able to find anything or anyone who can explain Photoshop in a way that ACTUALLY makes sense to me until YOU! I appreciate your videos so much!! Things are FINALLY starting to make sense and it's giving me confidence!

@lindylou8039 Жыл бұрын

Your instructions were easy to follow, you spoke clearly and explained what you were doing as I worked my way through. A big bonus for me was how you created a separate drop shadow layer and then skewed it to work with the shadows within the background image. I won't forget that wonderful trick! Many thanks.

Your instructional videos are simply the best - clear, concise, and wonderfully paced.

I do quite a bit of image combining, but your tutorial offered a LOT of new tips and tricks to improve my processes. Best 5 tips for me in this one? 1) Drop larger image on top of smaller image; 2) Color Match tool; 3) Creating a separate drop shadow layer (MY FAV!); 4) Skewing the shadow; 5) Color Grading. Thank you, Colin!!

Great tutorial, I'll be doing this a few times in a row to really nail down the concepts here. They seem basic, but this is enough for most users to feel comfortable before jumping into their own compositions.

You are my favorite teacher Colin! This one went slowly enough for me to properly follow. Yes, I will have to watch it again and of course do my own trials, but this foundation in how to proceed makes that less daunting and easier to get on with. Thank you!
