Advanced Photoshop Compositing Tutorial
cardmaverick:
I've been toying around with the idea of creating youtube tutorials for a while and I've finally gotten around to making one. This one focuses only on post production however. As usual, I go in depth - no fast talking quickie 4 minute tutorials for me. Just quality content, in depth, and advanced.
This is the image that is torn apart and dissected. It's composed of four separate images from my stock photography library.
Have fun! I'm starting work this weekend on some more videos. One is a photo shoot, the others are software reviews of some really cool cutting edge open source photography tools.

Very nice work, cardmaverick, but at 52+ minutes this video is waaay TLDR for even the hardiest photoshopper.
I applaud your effort, and I'm sorry of this offends you, but you really need to cut down on the talk-talk and speed up on the the click-clicks - if you want to be successful in the 'how-to' arena you'll need to lean more towards concise and succinct and away from verbose and pedantic.

I sometimes like watching clips like these but by the sound of it yours is way too long, oh and a quick tip, just looking at your example above I suggest you blur the girls outline into the background a bit, even at this size she looks too obviously cut out, the edges are far too sharp especially the hair.

Don't worry, I like the feedback ;) It's aimed at people wanting the opposite however. Same with my blog, which is why my old tutorials had so much success. I discovered there's a demand for longer and more in depth VS short and fast. I did wonder about the length though given youtubes "snippet" culture... I saw one "tutvid" where the guy narrating literally sounds like a speed reader. We'll have to see how the experiment plays out! Might put it up on Vimeo.

I started to watch, but couldn't deal with all the chat. I like tutorials that are to the point. I don't want to be entertained, at least not by a Photoshop tutorial.
I don't see a problem with doing more in depth work, but I think you need to break it into chapters with an intro. Very few people are going to commit an hour of their time for something like this, IMO
