Hello Rene and welcome. I like the fact that you offer yet another manner in which to utilize a long standing method that has been around awhile, though I agree with Tom that you have improperly named the technique.

Since Tom has covered the content of the tutorial, I would like to mention a few things about it's presentation. I felt that you were not as well as prepared as you should have been. You talk extremely fast and, at times, you did not use proper Photoshop terminology when describing what you were attempting to demonstrate. Your onscreen movement was fast and erratic and several times without explanation (2:50 you delete a layer mask, 4:58 merge all). There were several moments when you yourself became slightly confused at 1:24 - 1:52 - 2:31(erased?) - 2:53 - 3:11 - and at 3:08. There was some major confusion at 5:22, that should have been edited out. Major confusion again at 5:51. At 6:22 you say 'we can start to draw on the hair'........with what? How? If your confused your viewers will certainly be confused.

Your problem at 6:44 was an easy fix with the Dodge & Burn Tools used on the layer mask, you may have known this with a little more preparation.

Overall not a bad job. You just need to do your homework on the methods or techniques your wishing to present so that you know what to call them. Slow down, don't talk so fast! Prepare and structure your presentation and make a few practice runs. Explain each step that you demonstrate. Stay focused on the technique and don't jump off on tangents.

Good luck!
