Cut Out Hair from Extremely Busy Background! - Photoshop Tutorial

Mask Hair from Extremely Busy & Complex Background in Photoshop! Using advanced brush techniques, learn how to recreate natural hair, and extract the subject no matter how messy the background is.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to select messy hair by creating it! We will start by using the Pen Tool to create a solid selection. Then, we will move on to creating some special hair brushes to mask the hair. In the end, we will also learn to paint some additional hair to make the composite look more realistic.
I hope this tutorial helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

    just started [a year or so] as a front end web dev and i had to use Photoshop because many clients dont pay for graphic designer unfortunately and i have to say that your tutorials are the most detailed and well executed, i recently was thinking to combine the pen tool and a separate selection for hair mostly using contrast selection [the one with black and white] but it was difficult when the background had same tone with the hair. So that tut came as a gift to me. thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge!

    Bravo man. I've done hair masks for years and have done the initial harder starting point to the contour of the head/hair shape and then refined mask with original and new hair BUT your video showed many awesome points along the way. I'll definitely be preparing images better now I have watched this. Cheers

  • @AlanMaziero
    @AlanMaziero5 жыл бұрын

    That's how I do! There's no easy way when you need a perfect isolated subject! In my way I skip that part of refining the mask and spend the energy directly painting all the hair. I divide in layers for darker colors, highlights and medium hues. So this way I cut completely the interference with the background color and keeping the variety of colors. One thing I will adopt is that brush with a strand of hairs! That will save a lot of time! Great work!

    Never seen this method before. Most others use select and mask/refine edge tool but it fails with backgrounds like this. Seen hair painting before but they all use solid colour sampling. But having the mask selection INSIDE the hair and painting it back in with the mask looks natural since you're just revealing the true colour underneath the mask! Mind blown! Thanks so much!
