There are tons and tons of Photoshop tutorials and contents on KZfaq. But you are unmatched when it comes to pedagogy, thoroughness, and clarity. I'm constantly a part of "the 5% of the audience who reach the end of the video", and I'm happy I've always done so. I've learned so much thanks to you over the time!

Not just great techniques here, but the really thoughtful gift of a one vid all situations, something I have been hoping for for years, having watched all kinds of (great) tutorials but finding it real hard to remember how to deal with any specific situation. Except the simplest maybe. Love it. Thank you so much.

To further elaborate on the channels method, after leveling you can also apply image by going to image > apply image. Leave the layer as merged, channel as the same channel you're working on, and blending as Multiply. This will increase contrast. You can then go into the channel and paint white/black with the brush tool using the Overlay mode.

You are literally the best thing on youtube for photoshop. Unfortunately, I am staggeringly lacking in Ps skills. Ive been scanning around how to save the image back into lightroom without the fill layer and just the masking i was able to achieve. Ive tried a dozen other videos and they all assume you know how to finish file saving part . Just want to maintain the background and the hair removal i got from using Object selection tool. Sounds simple enough, however I am a step by step person with bad ADD.
