Your channel is a bless for designers.

When using channels (and also on the mask itself), after levels I go with the D&B tool set to highlight/shadows respectively to clean the edges. Awsome vid as usual. I've been following for almost 10 years. Cheers from Portugal.

Thank you for the video. This is by far the best I have seen on selections for Photoshop.

This is exactly the video I needed! I'll be saving this for later. Earlier today I tried doing a composite and realized how rusty I am at selecting stuff. I definitely needed a refresher.

It´s kind of underappreciated how much knowledge and techniques your sharing with us when I look at the views. Thanks a ton for this and I could listen to you for hours honestly.

One of my favorite ways to get rid of halos or color bleeding in hair and fur is to use decontaminate colors in select in mask. However I use it a little differently than most people. I output it from select and mask as a new layer and then set the blend mode to color. Then I clip it to the original layer with the subject cut out. That way it only uses the color information from the decontaminated colors layer and you don’t get any weirdness from the expanding that happens.

Another way is to use a hue/saturation adjustment layer. Change it from master to blues (or whatever color you’re trying to get rid of in the hair or fur). Dial in the range sliders to isolate it as much as possible to color your trying to get rid of, then use the hue and saturation sliders to match that color to the color of the fur or hair. Then to isolate it further you can use layer mask on the adjustment layer. Fill the mask with black and then paint with white only over the edges of the hair or fur.

Very useful, especially in this age where more and more people have access to online auto background removers, etc. if you’re able to create superior work to automated services you’ll continue to find work.
