Great video with good flow

It’s great to see a collection of masking examples in one video and applied in such different scenes / subjects – really helpful.
It would be good to follow up with a second masking video that focussed on detailed masking, providing examples of tight accurate masks for modifying or cutting out very specific areas, and for refining masks and tidying up edge details. And to include other masking tools such as line / colour / luminosity masks. Some of these have been covered elsewhere, but bringing them together would allow the viewer a better understanding of when and how to use these powerful tools.
Thanks for all your great videos.
Richard.

I’d like to second this comment.
It’s great to see how to make a quick mask that handles most of the job, but as with many things, the devil is in the details.
For example, in the sky replacement example, the sky behind the trees that are just to the left of the structure and on the horizon were not included in the mask. If the new sky didn’t happen to match the color of what was there before, it would be glaringly obvious that something was wrong. (You can see this when you were going through some skies where those unmasked areas didn’t match before you selected your ultimate sky.)
Similarly, the animal’s fur in one of the early examples was partly masked and partly not.
And wisps of hair are notoriously difficult to mask.
These may be minor details, but when printing on a large format printer or making a large scale image those things are noticeable.
Thanks.

Prachtig!
Het hele scala van hoe je ON1 leert kennen en gebruiken, komt langs..
Duidelijke uitleg!
Zo mooi om te zien wat je met een originele foto kunt doen.
Kijken naar, nodigt uit om ermee aan de slag te gaan.
Dank je wel Dylan.

Love this class. I always learn something from your class. It also gives me creative ideas and ways to use things that I never would have thought of. Thanks Dylan

Loved this video. It moved right along and provided a ton of information.

Dylan, good compilation on the subject of masking. I like that you go to certain detail of masking and then you say, but you can additionally do this, or that, giving more options to finish off an image, like that portrait of the model –cool/warm/snow. That was awesome!
Thanks Dylan!

Dylan – great job – lots of detail in one video session. Can you make this as a download ?
Kenneth WeissFebruary 15, 2024
Great video – thanks. I need to try harder to break my Photoshop habit!

This was excellent. I learned several new things, and was reminded about how to create my own custom vignette rather than struggle with the vignette filter to create the look I wanted. Thank you!

Was looking for a masking tip on replacing a background behind a subject. For example, the fox you had, isolate the fox and replace the background.

I like this a lot. However, it is so long that I forget what I learned in the previous minutes and all the different steps end up being mushed together and forgotten because there are too many at all at once.
This video assumes everybody has perfect memories but memory capacity is as different as looks, height, weight, hair color, health, etc. Please have mercy next time and break it up into smaller pieces.
In other words, memory capacity is very unequal and always has been. Those with good memories should never be involved in training others unless they first test their training concept on somebody without a good memory. The person without a good memory can help the teacher learn to be a better teacher. That is quality control.
