    Hello Brendan. Thank you for this tutorial. I have been using a way with channels to remove white background. Today I was trying to work on a project and while trying to remove the background with this technique I noticed that smooth, feather, contrast, and shift edge is not appearing any more. I also noticed an update. Does this has something to do with new 2024 update or is it something I do not know how to fix.

    You can keep your properties panel locked in the side bar like I have, so its easy access all the time, but it will open and close as you work still. Otherwise you’d need to make it a floating panel in your workspace.

    Brendan, or someone here that could help me: When I choose the overlay brush it doesn't paint in black or white. What I'm doing wrong? It only works when I paint with a normal brush... Nobody deserves it since we can 'invade' the opposite area (black invades white and vice versa). I hope you can help me 'cause I have tons of very busy backgrounds to remove. Thanks in advance!
