    There are so many out there who are good at teaching Photoshop but Brendan has a perfect timber and perfect pace in his presentations. I'm always learning more and understanding better because of how he presents his topics. His explanation is just perfect - clear and easy to understand. I always learn faster.

    Any ideas why drawing a circle FROM the CENTER just will not work on a Mac desktop? I have tried everything, including the click/Alt. Never has worked - not even one time - over the years.

    This man's ability to clearly, thoroughly and succinctly explain these tools is outstanding. If I tried to make a tutorial about this, I'd have to think long and hard about how to present it in this way that seems to come naturally to him. And he has the same last name as me, to boot!
    This guide was a great help in a little project I'm working on, as I've lost many of my Photoshop skills from years of disuse. Thank you.

    Brendan, shape tool options do not show on my toolbar, I tried resetting the toolbar, no go. I select the Marquee tool and it just draws a square with and does not add a layer. I can't pick shape, pixels or the other, it just says no presets for this tool. Any help is appreciated. Thank You

    Timer>15:9, you didn't demonstrate your actions. In other words, magically, a new layer was created from path

  • @BraveLittlePixel
    @BraveLittlePixel Před 7 měsíci

    Every time I follow any of these tutorials to a T, they never work. I'm so done with Photoshop. I'm trying to do path operations at 7:50 but my settings for 'exclude' or 'combine' are all greyed out and no matter which or how many Shape layers I have selected, nothing changes. I literally wanted to make a rectangle with a triangle notched out of one side. I've tried adding an anchor point to one side and pulling in, but that just creates a semi-circular curve cut out, and then tried overlaying a square shape, rotated 45 degrees over the side in order to mask/exclude that and create the cut-out. Literally impossible, just gonna go back to Illustrator where things work properly. No idea why people use PS for Vector graphics.

    I have necer seen a tutorial EVER, that represents what I see in my program. EVER. on my Alien iMac no shape in tool bar, pressing U does nothing. Typical for tutorials. No fill Adjustments, shift does nothing. No options bar with settings. No fill colour. Nada! I quit! I'll print it on paper and colour it with a damn crayon.
