new Techniques for Cutting out hair in PS CS5
« on: November 24, 2010, 16:34 »
Step1:
Open the sunbathing 2 from Stock.xchng, then crop it down to about 24×24 inches, removing the majority of the sky.
 

 
 
Step2:
Use the Quick Selection Tool, to do a rough selection of the girl. Make the brush size about 37 pixels in diameter at 100% hardness. brush over the image of the girl to do the quick selection.





Step3:
Now use the new Refine Edge tools in Photoshop CS5 to help us out. Click on the Refine Edge button.


 
The first thing you should do is decide which “View Mode” you want to work with, this will all depend on the image you are working on. With this particular image we want to see the outline of the hair, so go ahead and set the View Mode to Black and White, this will give us a nice mask.


 
Step4:
Set the Edge Detection to Smart Radius, then bump the Radius up to 99.0%


 
 
Step5:
Change the View Mode to Black, you will notice that the model has some blue from the sky in her hair and on the edges of her skin.


 
 
Step6:
Turn on Decontaminate Colors and set the amount to 68%


 
Tweak your settings by switching back and forth between view modes. When you are satisfied, set your Output to New Layer With Mask. Then press OK.


 
You will notice that Photoshop automatically created a new layer with a mask and turned off your original image layer.



 
Step7:
Now open and place the Sunset from Astoria, Queens image from Stock.xchng, below the Mask Layer (layer with the girl).

 
Final Result:
 

 
Hope i helped you.

note: you must DL the tool from google named: Cut out hair in PS CS5

Do you know anything about working with GFX?

Hair is usually one of the biggest challenges. You should refrain from making useless posts, the GFX moderators will slaughter you.

Also this is locked for RIPING. I keeping it for some users of this section to use ,but i wont let spam and stealing credit .

For shade : Try to make your own tutorial not copy it,we can easily see you did not do it,doing your best and advancing here ALONE (with help of tuts or tutors) is appreciated not some copy pasting and trying getting credit.

Also if someone complains about this ,be free to send me PM .
