Video Tutorials Needed

[Alan Wheetman Profile]

Having just found Smart Photo Editor, I am very surprised at the lack of video tutorials available to cover the various aspects of the app. I have discovered the other help options and also the relevant pages in the forum, but why no video tutorials? Look at the Adobe, or OnOne software website and there are plenty of tutorials leading newbies through the workings of the various tools etc. This is sadly lacking here. I would very much like to see a video tutorial on using the masking brush in its various forms. Despite reading through the community pages dealing with this, I am still having difficulty masking out around the gaps in trees when trying to replace a sky. I would really like to be able to watch somebody demonstrating this on a video to make sure that I am doing it correctly. Could this be made available please?

Hi Alan,

Yes, I'm afraid the only videos we have at current are the effect creator video tutorials. Until we have some more video tutorials, I can try and quickly help you with the masking. There's only one thing you need to know to get good at masking through little gaps between trees: position your cursor on a large bit of sky which is the same colour as the sky behind the trees, then hold down the "Shift" button on your keyboard. When you move the mouse to the gap you should see it turn red. You can then click with the mouse to select it.
