This is the best explanation on Select and Mask I have ever come across. Thanks so much Colin!

[MrFastforwardcoach]

Great explanation!! Can't wait for part 2. Thanks for this one.

👍🏻 Another excellent tutorial.

The precise script of the spoken description makes understanding even easier.

Also the special note that this is about HOW the individual settings of the tools work, and not HOW WELL they can do it.

This is the best tutorial on this kind of masking of the many many I have watched and had given up on. Really demystified select and mask (which is so much like layer modes in its complexity and "insider" like organization of all the sliders etc) Thanks so much.

Nice! I absolutely love that you have the screen enlarged large enough to see and your pace is perfect for actually following along and comprehending! My instructor told us about you today and I wish he'd known when I first started Photoshop. Thanks!

Thank you so much Colin for the informative and helpful tutorial as always! Good luck!

[chasebros]

Very nice. An alternate way to do this is to refine just the edges on the body first with the global refinement sliders. Output this refinement to a layer mask and then leave select and mask. Go back in select and mask again and all the sliders will be reset and now you can refine just the edges of the hair. Output the hair refinement to layer mask and it will update your current mask with the hair refinements. The advantage of doing it this way is you end up with only one layer and one mask.

Thanks for showing me how to do something that I have had problems with in the past and spend way to much time getting it right.
