Master Selections and Masks in Photoshop 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n

(For Photoshop 2020 works on newer versions too) – <\/strong>(16 lessons work for CS6)<\/p>\n

If you have ever struggled with selections in Photoshop (we all have), this is the tutorial you have been searching for. These 19 lessons get straight to the point and teach you exactly what you need to know. All photos aren\u2019t the same, and neither should be the way you select them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Out of all the tasks in Photoshop. The #1 place where people struggle is with selections. Even simple cutout tasks can be challenging, hair has pieces missing, the edges are not clean, and it feels like you are spending too much time trying to cut things out. And the pen tool? How is it supposed to work again?<\/p>\n

We get it! This can be very frustrating. Everyone hates wasting time with tools that don\u2019t seem to work. Maybe you saw a tutorial, but it didn\u2019t work on the photo you were using, or worse, it looked ok on a tiny screen, but didn\u2019t hold up on close examination (AKA The real-world).<\/p>\n

For 20 years, working with demanding clients from Hollywood to Silicon Valley, Colin Smith (Winner of 3 Guru awards + author of 20 books) has dealt with almost every selection challenge you can imagine. The trick is having multiple techniques in your \u201cPhotoshop toolbelt\u201d and using the best tool for each job. Not just using the tools correctly, but also knowing the trade secrets. You know, the hidden modifiers and tips that make the tools work the way they should and how to combine the techniques for rapid cutouts.<\/p>\n

Colin has figured out which tools work the best and which are a waste of time. (Hint, forget the magnetic lasso tool and background eraser). In a friendly, conversational manner, you will learn battle-tested selection and masking techniques, the same ones used by today\u2019s top pros.<\/p>\n

Learn how to tackle trees, hair, complex shapes and even transparency with confidence. Colin shows \u201cbrute force\u201d techniques that will enable you to cut out anything, even with very busy and muddled backgrounds. Lots of insider tips and tricks are sprinkled throughout to make some tasks surprisingly easy and quick.<\/p>\n

If you combine the techniques demonstrated in this almost 4 hour master class on selections, you will never have to fear a selection task again. This is suitable for beginners through advanced users. All the lesson files are included, so you can follow along step by step. This isn\u2019t anything like sitting in a classroom, listening to a lecture, It\u2019s more like sitting next to Colin in his studio and working with him.<\/p>\n

ALL COLIN’S IMAGES ARE INCLUDED, SO YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG<\/strong>
