As a new user to PSE I am always trying to learn more. Before I watched the video i figured i would’nt get much out of it simply becasue “I thought” I already knew how to use these specific tools—–NOT– thanks to this video, I now know what ” sample all layers” is for, I never knew what it was for or what I would ever need it for! Thank You soooo much. I just love this website, i always learn something new every time I vist. Thanks Again.

Great intro video on these tools. They have already answered a question I had about how to blur out the background of an animal image that I have in my catalog.

Wow! I’m so mad at myself for not taking advantage of these tutorials earlier. I’ve had 3 different versions of PSE and never knew what I was doing. I’m getting serious now :)
You have a great voice and are easy to follow. Thank you!

Very helpful and informative. Especially the hint on “use all layers”. Good job. How come no “cheat sheet?”

Great video. Very informative. However, I would like to know how to save the layers after I’m done. He shows us how to revert to the original (very helpful), but not how to keep the changes we’re happy with. It seems like a small point, but I never know whether I’m supposed to flatten the layers or what.
