Hi, Jesús.

First of all, thanks a lot for another great tutorial. I was able to follow all the steps (using the pause button a lot!), but I’m stuck with the last part, the head.

I think it misses the final polishing of the head. I mean, in the tutorial the head ends quite rough, but in the thumbnail of the video we can see a much more polished one.

Thanks again!

Hey Jedeitor,

Simply blur the original image more. In the step where you apply the Surface Blur.

Hi Jesús– Thank you for bringing us a wealth of info on the PTC… You make Photoshop fun and exciting and I look forward to every tutorial!
I’m trying to create a coin and I’m stuck on one point… At approx 12:57 min into the video you select the outer ring to create a new layer (in the Polygon 1 copy)… How did you make the selection?
Thanks for your help!

You’re welcome!!!

To load that layer as a selection hold Ctrl (Mac: Command) and click on the thumbnail of the layer.

Very impressive. Followed along with a lot of pausing but I’m a photoshop noob. Learned a lot of tricks in the process. Thanks for sharing.

Your tutorial is exactly what I’ve been looking for and you did a fantastic job.

I tried to take notes to use them on my project of converting an ancient messy coin into gold. You were naturally fast and I could not keep up with you.

Do you have a text version of your tutorial so that I can read and apply slowly?

Thanks again for your great work.

I do not have a written version, but all my tutorials are transcribed if that helps. You can turn on the CC (closed captions) on YouTube to read what I say.

Hello Jesus,

I don’t feel I can add anything more to many positive comments of my predecessors. I’ve found your training excellent too.
One suggestion – I would place your logo and training title in such a way that a top menu bar can be entirely visible all the time.In some moments I was hesitating about certain setting visible right there and couldn’t see them.
Except this minor remarque – I’ve found this training very instructive.
Keep on developing your PTC channel.

All the best – Christophe
