    I liked tip number 5- I had no idea you could so easily put open files into layers (aside from saving them into layers from Lightroom).

  2. All the tips were very useful, and i did not know any of them. Thanks Colin

    Hey Colin,
    The two different blurring was something I’ve never seen or heard about! Great Job!! Also, the perspective Clone Stamp was new to me also.

  5. Beth Reicker

    I can’t really pick just one that I liked better than the other – all those tips were new info for me. Thanks so much!

  6. Great stuff Clone with perspective is the one I can certainly use. Tried to make notes, so written steps will be appreciated.

    All of these were extremely useful. The Vanishing Point was my favorite. You are the Man!!!
    BTW I can never find the like symbol on this screen. In You Tube for sure, but not here.

    Loved this. Can’t wait to see the written tips. Will that be in an email when it’s available?

    1. Colin Smith Author

      Not a dedicated email, no, but It will probably be mentioned in the body of a newsletter

    Wow ! At the start I was thinking , I’m watching this as there’s always one tip I don’t know. This is the first time in a long time they were all new to me. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH Colin !

    All very interesting tips. New to Ps and as the tips are clearly explained I am able to flick back and forward to try them out on my own photos.
