February 20th 2024 – My favorite Photoshop Youtube links:

The first link to each YouTube channel will take you to the main pages.

• PhotoshopCAFE – Colin Smith: https://www.youtube.com/@photoshopcafe
• A great tutorial on layers: https://youtu.be/-R1IBVo4hy0?si=HuR2lTv2Rxv8tMFQ
  • (The above is an old tutorial using PS 2019 but still applies to current PS version.)
• Layer Masks For Beginners: https://youtu.be/sbS5oUuGbGY?si=Hht5NaEVkUuFRA2A
• Courses that you can buy: https://photoshopcafe.com/product-category/photoshop/
• PiXimperfect – Unmesh Dinda: https://www.youtube.com/@PiXimperfect
  • Piximperfect has a full Photoshop course available FREE. (This isn’t the current PS 2024 but this should be fine anyway.)
• “PHOTOSHOP FOR BEGINNERS: COMPLETE COURSE” https://www.learnphotoshopfree.com
• Photoshop Training Channel (PTC) – Jesus Ramirez https://www.youtube.com/@PhotoshopTrainingChannel
• Free PS training course: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3bfN-31F9Rfiq9BYyPcuHUoOg3Q4mZgr
• Phlearn – Aaron Nace: https://www.youtube.com/@phlearn
• Layer Masks: https://youtu.be/h5yW5hHjQrE?si=Py8FIhXgOXKT0tto
• Matt Kloskowski: https://www.youtube.com/@MattKloskowski
• Matt Kloskowski’s courses: https://mattk.com/course-list/
• The School Of Photography: https://youtu.be/zj9fxeJvpjo?si=cb9-SKt8kLlRpg0P
  • A side note on the above tutorial .. The teacher starts off with opening up a new blank layer. This is where you would be actually opening up a new photo. He talks about Smart Objects as well. Don’t let this scare you off. You can learn the basic Layers/Masks without using Smart Objects.
