So far, you are the only channel who actually knows their stuff. Thank you! I think I had to play and pause certain sections 50 times to see which buttons you pushed, especially in the selection, layers part😩. You are soooo fast😂
A great tip with the lasso tool that is kind of hidden: with the lasso tool selected you can press "alt" and it will turn into the polygonal lasso tool, if you draw normally it will act like the lasso, if you pick up the pen or release the mouse button it will act like the polygonal tool. This is really helpful if you are lassoing and need to give your hand a break, as you can let go and it won't close the selection until you release 'alt'. It works for adding or subtracting from the selection too (press shift then alt, or alt, release and alt again).
I appreciate that after doing a tutorial you answer the questions in the comments. So many do a tutorial and when a question is asked, it never gets answered. Thank you for this!
Wow. Instead of just one, you just summarized possibly all methods we can use to do it. Thank you. You even mentioned like the "hair tool" and others, so I know what people usually using certain tool for only specific task. Thank you again..
here's several things about which features of Photoshop to learn first Image size alteration Removal of unwanted objects Layers (I read about these and more from Trevs Photo Blueprint site )
All these things which were cut-out though, were on pretty simple plain coloured backgrounds :) I've been trying to find a pro way to cut out complex things, such as a bush on a grassy field where both are almost the same colour. That is tricky!
This is probably the most useful tutorial I've come across. I would say though that you could easily make separate videos for each technique, going even further into detail of each method. Thank you!
This has all the best tricks of the trade for cutting anything out in Photoshop. You did kind of go a bit fast over the steps. It was difficult for us mere designer mortals to keep up. At least for me anyway. My two cents. Your design blog is and has been one of my favorites that I've ever been to and I have been benefiting from it for many years now. Thank you.
People commenting about this vid being too fast, however, I like it as a bird's eye view of all the various methods I can choose for chopping stuff out. I can pick one and youtube other videos for more details. I saved the video to reference again as I look up each one. Also, I like the progressions from quick and dirty to highly detailed. Great video! Thanx!
Easily the best 'all round' video on Photoshops range of powerfull tools for cutting out ANYTHING. All you people saying he is too quick? CZcams provides a "pause" button!!! The idea is to inform you of the range of tools and methods available not to hold your hand and do it for you! I have used every one of these techniques during my 24 years of Photoshop and had to discover ( teach myself ) them without any CZcams videos so be very gratefull that this guy has shared them with you. Now go and do some work!
As somebody who works primarily with video/motion graphics this tutorial is incredibly useful. I'm totally fluent and at ease with After Effects and Premiere but popping over to PhotoShop to cut out and prepare elements for animation is often a daunting experience! really well made and I'm sure I'll be watching back over this many times :) Thanks Spoony!
Brilliant! Sometimes as a photographer I question myself "Am I doing this right"? .. This video just proves there's no right or wrong way .. you just use which tool suits you the most. Personally I may have a look at Fluid Mask !!
Congratulations! These tips helped me a lot. You summarized all the cutting techniques in just one video-tutorial. Eventhough I'm not a native English speaker, I got everything you taught. Thanks!
Great video! You did a fine job sharing quickly what tool options are available to do ONE specific thing (cutting things out). Even after years of self teaching and countless hours of practice, I still learned a lot here. It's very easy to spend 90 minutes on videos on how to use one tool which is why I like this video as it brings awareness to other possible methods. I also like how you progressively moved up the sliding scale of tools in the order of which is probably most natural to learn them. Good job on this video!
This was the most valuable tutorial I have found, it is difficult to understand what you did sometimes but if you use the youtube slowmo thing you can find out. Thank you so much!
Great video. Needed this in order to make something look good in a slide presentation but now that I got to use an actually useful tool in photoshop I feel like I could go on to learn more about it, to apply it to uses that I usually do from my phone.
One of the best tutorial videos I've seen. TONS of great tips in there at a very good pace. 10 minutes actually felt like half that. You should do a tutorial on how to make a tutorial. Nicely done!
Thank you for this great video. I noticed there are many people who said that you were teaching too fast, but I like how you could summarise many examples and methods in this short video. Cheers.
Chris Spoon!?!? Wow, I've had your website bookmarked for years and never thought to see if you had a CZcams, hah! Thank you for the huge resources bundle. Great to see you on here, random I know, sorry
this is probably the best and simply educational video than others which takes about longer minutes yet just talking non sense. btw you earned 1 subscriber and probably 4 more if i got to open my other accounts :3 thank you very much.
This is a brilliant video. Ok, so it goes very fast but as I understood, it's not a tutorial, more of a what-photoshop-can-do, which I found very helpful. If there's tools and techniques that you don't understand just look for an in-depth tutorial on that particular one!
Extremely helpful and very thorough for showing up options. Although I have to open another tutorial to learn the details of each individual option, but I don't mind. I always go back to this videos for initial guidelines. Great job!
Great tips and tricks. The pace was fine for me, though I did find myself stopping the video and working on an image at the same time to understand some of the shortcuts that did not appear clearly in the video. Thanks!
alejandromolinac What u mad I'm right? Bruh you don't even have an profile pic so who you actually trying to tell? You tell me you do photoshop for over 10 years but you still can't keep up? Sit down please, proffessional my ass
THANK YOU!!! I knew there was a way to select using color channels and just couldn't figure it out but you saved me!! You rock. BTW, been listening to the Honest Designers podcast and they mentioned you. :)
You, sir, are absolutely brilliant - thank you for sharing your knowledge! My mouth hung open in amazement so many, many times throughout this video. “No waaay!!” - was my response to many of your awesome tips. Thank you!
Dodge and burn is really clever, why did i never think of it? Also, the easy way to get rid of the white outline just was a feature I didn't know of, thanks for sharing :)
Freaking get vid - Been a photoshop expert / professional for 20 years.. and still I learned a few things.. A bit fast - so I exported the audio ( hope you don't mind) then listen to it half speed!! Also knowing which tool YOU use for each - led me to other vids.. Great Job! Im your newest biggest fan! Your website has some great free stuff! ( This is not a paid commercial [grin] ) Good luck and please keep it up!
Excellent advice. I have used PS since version 5.0 and feared this video would be one of those "Hey, there is this excellent new tool in Photoshop CC and you just click... and done". But I was pleased this video introduced all the classic, basic techniques first. In my very narrow mind there is not much that you need for advanced editing than PS 6 and good skill set.
You need to add to the info on the color range tool that you can use the SHIFT, ALT and COMAND keys to add or subtract selections. This way you can select multiple colors or ranges of multiple colors.... I use this way a lot and it makes it super easy to change colors of clothing for catalogue work. Nice info you have. Thanks.
Great tutorial! I have been using Photoshop professionally since version 2.1, yet some of the things you covered were a great refresher. Sometimes as programs get upgraded you don't always realize that things that used to be complex are suddenly much easier, I quickly realized that I was using some of my older techniques and work-arounds, but this great video reminded me that there are easier and more modern ways of "masking the cat" Cheers! Mitch
Amazing .... Simple Informative and non-timewasting saying obvious things.... Maybe you can add a video showing how to blend one cut out onto a background and matching the hue, saturation, white balance and lighting direction to make for more realistic compositions?? Thanks man.

Thanks for this tutorial. I like the fact that you have covered most subjects quickly and specifically. Real helpful.
Brilliant! Sometimes as a photographer I question myself "Am I doing this right"? .. This video just proves there's no right or wrong way .. you just use which tool suits you the most. Personally I may have a look at Fluid Mask !!
the defringe option was new to me. Good to see such speedy videos.
Congratulations! These tips helped me a lot. You summarized all the cutting techniques in just one video-tutorial. Eventhough I'm not a native English speaker, I got everything you taught. Thanks!

Mate, we definitely need more humans like you. Tons of thanks.
I use all of these after 25 years plus using photoshop. Nicely summarised.
Love the dodge and burn tip to increase contrast
You are one clued up person. Thank you.
This is one of the best videos about removing any thing using Photoshop, thanks for sharing.
This was the most valuable tutorial I have found, it is difficult to understand what you did sometimes but if you use the youtube slowmo thing you can find out. Thank you so much!
I've used almost every single technique covered in this video. Good stuff and a good reminder of things I've discovered myself. Thanks!
Thanks! I began photoshoping yesterday and this is exactly what i was looking for! :D
All I can say is AWESOME! Simply AWESOME!
Great video. Needed this in order to make something look good in a slide presentation but now that I got to use an actually useful tool in photoshop I feel like I could go on to learn more about it, to apply it to uses that I usually do from my phone.

i am so glad i found this channel
Best photoshop tutorial ive seen
Now this is how we do tutorials people. Bravo mate!
Thanks Chris. Great reminder of all the tool.
I like all the lessons but I can't understand them since you are going way too fast.
you can always replay and slowdown the video.
Press the II button. A.K.A. Pause
complete explanation would took about 3-4 hours, this is more like an overview of possibilities so you can explore those in detail
At least you are English.. im Korean....
You seem to understand this just fine for a korean.
Good overview of many possibilities to make selections to mask!
Bravo!
I knew all these tricks except for one. These are great, thanks for the video, Spoon Graphics.
finally a good looking tutorial! super easy to follow along.
but he dont say details things like , ok i marked what i want how to delete the background xD
My gosh!
You are AWESOME!
I wish I found out about all these tricks a couple years ago...
Had to learn the hard way at work... hehe
this is probably the best and simply educational video than others which takes about longer minutes yet just talking non sense. btw you earned 1 subscriber and probably 4 more if i got to open my other accounts :3 thank you very much.
Sir Spoon Graphics , You Are loved :)
No doubt this video is a testament to your great skills but not a tutorial for anyone trying to learn these skills.
Brilliant tutorial!
It is very fast, but not a problem, because I can rewind and pause when I need to.
The channel one saved me countless of hours. I was always struggling to cut out pictures with lots of hair
I liked and bookmarked for later. Thank you. I like comprehensive one-shop places. Thanks
