This was very instructive. Got a lot of ideas on how to use PS in a faster and easier way. You are the born teacher, making complicated actions so easy.
So amazing!! Thanks Rob for sharing your knowledge!
Amazing! Thank you!
Really great tutorials !!!! The content is very well explained and Rob made every tiny detail easier to be handled. Thank you for sharing!!!
Really enjoyed this. Great techniques, very well explained and excellent results.
What a great set of tutorials!! I found Rob so engaging and his love for his art and for humanity shines through in everything he contributed. So inspiring! Hanging out with Aaron & Rob would be so much fun. 🙂 Rob’s extraction techniques are really interesting, of course, they take a little longer than photoshops more automated processes, especially with recent improvements in the select and mask tools. However, the incredibly precise and clean results are clearly worth the effort when the image requires it. I would really like to mention Rob’s workflow because it is so different from my own. Like many who have followed Phlearn for years, I am pretty anal about non-destructive editing. Rob’s approach works so well because of his incredible attention to the small details. There is definitely something to learn for us all in his approach. The most enjoyable tutorials I have seen for quite some time. (Y)
I loved this tutorial. He is easy to follow along with and gives great tips!
Rob is very straightforward and easy to understand. Learned quite a lot from his tutorial
Rob is very articulate in sharing his creative design process and this is a wonderful tutorial and insight into the artistic process. Thanks to Rob, Aaron, and the PhLearn team for making this available.
This was exceptional! Rob was great in his explanations and made all his techniques look easy. I loved his love of his work/art. He rivals Aaron as a great instructor. (I will not comment on which is better!) . I would also recommend that everyone look up Rob’s on line photos. They are amazing.
What an amazing tutorial!! Learnt so much and now I feel super inspired!! Thank you Rob and the Phlearn team for making this possible!
Wonderful tutorial. Rob made the difficult tasks easy. I like how he does not follow conventional and heavily structured norms, and goes on to demonstrate some ‘free-hand’ techniques, especially with masking out subjects.
