Master the core creative tools in Photoshop, like the Brush Tool, Remove Tool, Patch Tool, and powerful selection tools!
🚀 Join PiXimperfect Pro - The Ultimate Photoshop Training Course: https://pix.live/pro

In this beginner series, we'll start with an incredible blend mode trick that creates a stunning luxury pattern, then uncover everything you need to get started with the Brush Tool, from opacity versus flow and instant erasing with the tilde key, to smoothing for shaky hands and quick shortcuts for size and hardness. Along the way, you'll pick up small workflow gems like sticky shortcuts and a clever way to cycle through similar tools in a group. We'll then move into removing distractions with the Remove Tool along with the Patch Tool and discover where it still has the upper hand. From there, we'll explore manual selections with the Lasso Tool, and automatic selections with the Object Selection Tool, with examples both with and without AI! Finally, we'll learn to use the new Select Subject for one-click selections with complex edges like hair, nets, and other impossibly tricky subjects. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
