It's crazy how he makes the video "watchable" just like a movie

The see through shadow was not super necessary but he adds the detail anyway. This is a sign of someone who loves quality in result. you have my everlasting respect Sir

The color matching technique, using the background and blurring it and then applying color blend mode was just amazing! 🔥

You are just amazing. I haven’t seen anyone teach like this, even not my Professors! Hat's off to you. Take Love from Bangladesh. And thank you for all the efforts you put for dummies like us.

Unmesh. I've been involved with photography for almost 65 years, and I can honestly say, you are my hero. Thank you for all your tutorials.

I appreciate you for producing "long form" videos with all the steps to make professional composites. You have helped me tremendously for years and continue to up your game.

"Sometimes you have to take the artistic road, instead of the realistic road, to look more realistic" ...This! Your videos are by far the most entertaining and valuable on the topic of photo editing I have ever seen

When it comes to teaching photoshop You are the king We should bow 🙇

I have watch too much of your videos, that my thinking process is so close to you now. Every time when there are steps involving layers I always guess right what you're about to do. Thank you Sir for inspiring me so much!!

I am from Vietnam and I thank you very much for bringing Vietnamese language into this video, previous videos without auto translator made it very difficult for me to reach your channel. And now it's great, a good video but also Vietnamese language is easy to learn. Once again, thank you PiXimPerfect. I will also recommend this YT channel to my friends💕

This channel deserves all the success it has and more because Unmesh is an AMAZING presenter and educator. He is so clear and thorough in teaching Photoshop, it really sets a higher standard for all educators in this space. The quality and attention to detail is INSANE. Just amazing. This is the internet at it's best!

The new lighting setup is sick!

this is above the level, you are better than the professors I encountered, to be honest. You make it clear and well discussed Unmesh. It really helps a lot on us, keep going. AWESOME!
