I consider my self an expert in using Photoshop and, of course, using Masks, but I appreciate in this tutorial the high quality and the clarity of exposition helping a novice to understand and manage masks as a profesiional.

While Luca’s first language does not appear to be English, he speaks it very well, making it easy for students to understand not only what he is doing, but—more importantly—why. This is not an AI masking course; rather, it is a refined approach to masking that emphasizes control and intent over selections and edits. The lessons are presented slightly out of order, but this is not a deal breaker by any means. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn how to make fine, deliberate adjustments using masks rather than relying on automated solutions.

I've been using Photoshop for years and do use masks but only very basically. There is no doubt this masterclass will take me to the next level. Do not expect instant improvement but continual reference to the masterclass, especially around the use of channels will make your finished photos sparkle.
