Testimonials
"Thank you for the
tutorials. They were very helpful. In fact, I have
gotten so good now that Walgreen's stopped printing
my photographs saying that they look too
professional and I need a photographer's release
form."
~A.K.
"....As somebody
striving to become a self-employed
digital photographer, ...I found this to be a perfect
alternative, with some stunning results."
~B Moir
"I had to write
to say how great the videos are!!!...Oh boy, do you
make extractions easy! Thank you! I think your way
is much smarter than chromakey, it avoids all the
yucky green reflections & spill on the model that
make them look sick."
~Elizabeth P
"The
tutorial on extracting an image including wispy hair
is awesome! I have asked three "pros" how this can
be done. I was told, respectively "It's very
difficult"; "That's a job for graphic designers";
and finally "You can do it, but you'll have to buy a
graphics tablet and it will take you hours".

"I just purchased
your tutorials a few days ago and just had to share this
story with you. I have enclosed my "success" picture for
you to see. It is my first attempt at using your
techniques to extract a subject from a background. (As
you can see, the female has the wispy hair which is so
very troublesome.)
Anyway, when I got done with the photo, I uploaded it
(along with a few
others I did) to a local Walgreen's, as I was anxious to
see how they looked printed off.
About fifteen minutes after I did so, they called me to
tell me that they could not print my photos off because
they were PROFESSIONAL!!!!
I was so flattered, but explained that I had done the
pictures in Photoshop. The woman on the phone with doubt
in her voice said, "Photoshop?" Then she proceeded to
tell me that I would have to sign a waiver saying that
they were not PROFESSIONAL photos.
I just want to THANK YOU again for helping someone like
me learn such
valuable techniques. They really work! I hope you will
share more of your knowledge with us in the future. I
really enjoy the way you explain yourself in your
tutorials so easily! You're the BEST!!!!
Thanks again."

"I am a bilingual social studies teacher and I take
pictures as a hobby. I take hundreds of photos all over
the High School where I work. You see I kind of help
with the yearbook. I had been working with backdrops but
was stuck with the hair problem. Some of my students
would complain because I was cutting their hair or
redoing it....cause I couldn't find a way to fix it. You
came just in time to remedy my problem and I personally
want to thank you for making things very and I mean very
easy to follow on your tutorials ...specially the hair.
Ha-ha! I had to laugh. I hope to someday be able to
teach the basics and who knows perhaps and intermediate
class for my high school students. By the way they love
the penciling effect photos and they can't believe when
I tell them how easy it is to do. Of course thanks to
YOU! Now I have all my wall, in school, full of photos
and I mean gooood looking portraits. I wish you the best
and hope you can come up with more of your excellent
tutorials. Please let me know as soon as something else
comes up. I will be your number one customer. By the
way, now I am truly beginning to pay more attention to
PHOTOSHOP...I used to be very aggravated with it. I'm
dedicating about 2 or 3 hours per day to it. I can at
least see a finished product now!!!"
~F Montes
"I just used the information found in your e-book, "How
To Make Your Own Digital Backgrounds" for the first
time. Wow! This is the exact tool I have been looking
for at just the right time. I have been doing portrait
photography (amateur) for many years now, and am
learning to use Photoshop 7. I have many portraits whose
backgrounds just didn't look right. With your
information, I am now able to construct perfect
backgrounds for all my digital photos. Many thanks for
the e-book. It is well worth the purchase price!"
~K McIntire
"You're right it took me less than five minutes to go
through the process. I am new to digital imaging
especially using Photoshop so a step by step procedure
(meaning what key to press) is really helpful. The
procedure is concise and to the point. It doesn't stray
like other procedural books that I have read."
~R Racelis
"First of all let me say what a fantastic video, a very
informative film with very clear and precise
instructions so even a novice Photoshop user like me had
no trouble hiding it. I had seen the extract method
before but your explanation as you carried out the task
and method I thought was brilliant, and a lot easier to
follow than just a plain old tutorial.
Your digital backdrops methods are second to none, after
spending 5 minutes quickly running through your detailed
instructions, I had created a digital backdrop, with
hotspot. Now at leisure I can make any colors I want
without having to go through the process again, although
it doesn't really matter as a matter of 5 minutes and
you can create a whole new one.
As somebody striving to become a self employed digital
photographer, but not too excited about spending large
amounts of money on muslin backdrops etc and portrait
background, I found this to be a perfect alternative,
with some stunning results."
~B Moir
" Although I was a little wary about ordering something
what I've already learn how to make backgrounds to look
more like studio. But your video is worth every penny. I
have had to work more time trying to make my cutout not
to look pasted. You really have cut my time way less
than I expected. Thank you for putting light on that
subject and I called it "one of my $1000 secret tips!"
LOL. People asked how I do it and I just zip my lips
seal. Once again, thank you!"
~Norma
"I love your
process for making digital backgrounds! It's much easier
than others I've seen. I'm able to create one in about 1
minute. Whereas, by doing the other way I've been
taught, I would spend almost 10 minutes (that doesn't
include the time it takes to remember how to do it)."
~J Wilson
"I have just
read your E-book on how to create digital backdrops...
It is well laid out, and I found the instructions easy
to follow... I use Adobe CS and all the steps worked as
described...
I found this E-book to be a very informative and sound
basis for creating quick and professional looking
backdrops... Please inform me if you produce any more in
the series..."
~K McDonald

"I just
completed the tutorial. I found it to be a very good
trick. It is all that is advertised. I used PS CS, but
had no trouble with the instructions. I very much like
all the short cuts you added, this is what makes it go
so fast..."
~J. M.
"I want to tell you that these videos are fabulous. I
concur that I have had Adobe 7 for four years and
couldn't tell the tail from the head even until today.
Your tutorials lessons have made me feel like a genius
in about an hour. Thank you for your ability to relate
these tools and how they operate in the simplest form
possible."
~Stan H
"I've been using your digital enhancement tutorials
since I received them yesterday and love them! You did a
wonderful job narrating them and I look forward to
seeing more! Please be sure to put my name on your
mailing list.
Sincerely,"
~Rebecca P
"I
do have to say that these videos are an exceptional tool
that I could never find anywhere else!! Anyone who
intends on using Photoshop should strongly consider
investing in your videos. You definitely get straight to
the point and speak in layman's terms. You can't beat
the cost of the videos, either. The videos pay for
themselves just after the first couple of satisfied
clients. You actually spell it out better than the
"Photoshop for Dummies" books. I love that you are
directed for the portrait photographer! The books and
manuals cover to broad of a spectrum. I just can't
express my gratitude enough.
THANKS AGAIN!!"
~Christine K
"I
just wanted to say how much I love these videos. I have
had Photoshop for awhile and had no idea how to really
use it. Now I can do some really neat things. Thank you
so much for making it so easy. It was worth every
penny."
~Barb W
"How do I say thank you? I am trying to open a small
studio in my home. I have not felt like I was ready to
advertise although others like my portraits. Now I feel
as though I am ready to begin on my journey. Please let
me know when you have additional tutorials. It was well
worth the money and I enjoyed learning from you. I have
read books on Photoshop but did not learn from them the
things you have taught. God bless and may you have great
success.
Thanks again,"
~Brenda
"I
just wanted to let you know something. Your tutorial was
the single best Photoshop lesson I have ever had. It was
simple, to the point, easy to understand and just
awesome. I truly hope you will do more videos exploring
more ways to use Photoshop with photos. I have seen too
many that focus on graphics and not enough on photos.
Yours was exactly what I was looking for and more. And
please, if you come out with ANY new videos, I would
LOVE to get an email as I will be one of the first to
buy it.
Thanks Again,"
~Geo
"I
love the videos that you have done, They have helped me
more than you could know. I would like to know if you
are going to be doing some more, I hope you are
considering more.... I know there are many people who
feel like I do... Your videos are by far the
best....Thank you for helping people like myself."
~Loretta
"Fabian... You're the BEST! I am a VERY big fan. Please
let me know if you make more...I want them ALL. I learn
from you better than anyone I've ever been taught from."
~Jennifer G
"Fabian...You are a legend, keep up the good work."
~Ian O
"Fabian...I LOVE your new videos!!! They are absolutely
OUTSTANDING!!! I learned what I learned up to now from
trial and error and a few online tutorials here and
there. But your video tips are very well organized,
EASY to follow, and each had something new for me to add
to my photo editing toolbox. The next best thing about
your tips is that they save me a TON of time vs. what I
used to do before!!! WOW - neat stuff!!!
I am GLAD I invested in this!"

"I
would like to start off by saying that I am not a
professional photographer, or an extremely experienced
person on computers, just someone who really enjoys
photography and being able to edit my own pictures! With
that said, I recently purchased Photoshop Newbie’s and
could not be happier! The videos are easy to follow and
I am learning very fast just by following Fabian! I had
looked into taking a Photoshop course and if you have
also you will know how expensive it is just to take the
beginner's course, with Fabian’s detailed videos I
personally believe that you learn just as much if not
more and you have the videos as reference as well!
I highly recommend purchasing these to anyone who is
interested in making beautiful pictures! Thank you so
much Fabian for your easy to follow videos and I am
hoping that you continue to make a lot more for me to
benefit from!"
~Renee M
"I just bought your
tutorials, and I wanted to email you and tell you how
much I have enjoyed them. I am a newbie at Photoshop,
but I do have a fair knowledge of it, and your tutorials
have really opened my eyes to even more opportunities to
use with the power of Photoshop. I am a firm believer,
from past experience, that you can learn so much more,
and so much faster, from watching a tutorial versus
reading a how to book. It is a shame that people would
pass up your teachings, not knowing what they are
missing. Thanks for some fantastic training devoted to
photographers".

"I am from
Gibraltar a British Coloney situated at the
most southern point of Spain. (EUROPE)
Just to let you
know that I have bought Digital Backgrounds and
it is the best tutorial Photoshop tips that I have
seen for quite some time.
It is
incredible how easy you make it happen, and the best
of all is, it is so easy to follow your steps.
Thank you very
much, your help has really improved my photography.
~Johnny H
"I recently
purchased your video, etc. for extraction and
creating digital backgrounds. I have attempted to do
work like this previously with disappointing
results. I have to say that your instructional
program is OUTSTANDING. Thank you. I don't usually
get this excited about a product, even if I am truly
impressed, but I had to let you know how pleased I
am with your work. I can't wait to try the pencil
drawing instruction.
I thought
$47.00 was a little pricey, but when I saw the
results in just my first try I know the program was
well worth it."
Blessings,
