Hi, I tried the link but the page isn't available. I'm a relative beginner and would love to fully understand layers. Please can you give me a link to the layers course 🙏

Wow amazing tutorial, teaches us more in five minutes than tons of videos out there that are 20+ minutes long! Subbed!

I finally understood that the “This layer” hides and “Underlying layer” shows. I always struggled trying to get the results I wanted. Thank you for another great video!

Same here - I'm totally with you - this is why I, too, struggled with Blend If. What a simple way to describe the use of THIS LAYER vs UNDERLYING LAYER - the wonder is why no one has ever explained it that way. Even Colin doesn't go out of his way to emphasize that simple fact, rather mentions it rather casually. Hahahah I suppose because it's such a revelation to me I think he should have really made it a big deal in the tutorial. I do like his tutorials.

I've used blendif many times and it generally only gives good results if there is good contrast between the images you wish to remove and those you wish to retain. Sometimes using blendif and then applying layer masks to remove awkward areas can be a decent work around.

@kristinawikoff-edstrom1408 Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! One sentence you said made it all clear, finally! That by moving the sliders on the chosen layer, parts of the image will be 'pushed to the back'...

Thank you, Colin! We use BlendiFF a lot more now because selections in PS are still not easy to make and they leave halos you have to fix. We will prep a file before using BlendiFF so the sliders are more efficient And the absence of halos makes BlendiFF faster for us when we can use it.

Sorry if I don't think this is extracting. If I extract, I have a separate object that can be used in multiple ways. This is a great tip and effect, but of limited use. In the right situation can be wonderful, just not an extraction.
