However, we still have to come up with different solutions that make the final result realistic. If this trick helped you, leave some feedback in the comments!

Full round of applause! I myself and a beginner in photoshop and you blew my mind with how easy and efficient these tricks are! I honestly subscribed the minute you fixed the color of the edges, you definitely know your stuff!

Finally a clear explanation, from beginning to end. Easy to follow for beginners. Thanks! 👍

This is prob, the best video about selections and integrations on PSD on the history of Youtube. Thank you so much for not just repeating what the 99% of the other channels do.

Great video. I took hiatus around 2018 and a lot has changed since then. I'm glad to know that my initial theory about the techniques used have not changed.
It's one thing to "Defringe" and allow the automation to make key assumptions about your intentions. A more narrow field of "spray and pray", so to speak.
However, taking the extra steps to refine the mask and Shifting Hue & Sat of infringing outlined color is so perfectly surgical that it helps keep professional retouchers employed. A few extra seconds can be all the time in the world when you're trying not to be replaced by cell phone applications.
No doubt that using this tutorial will produce the best results for those interested in or earning a living through compositing images.
Thanks for the work you're doing here. Your content is always clear and succinct, plus you stay on topic.
I have been able to get back up to speed on all the enhanced capabilities in PS and LR thanks to your content. I feel like just saying "Thanks, bro" wouldn't match the quality I've received.
Cheers!

Great tutorial. In the latest part, if you add a complex background, with many different colours, instead of the solid colour and the mask, you can have a copy of that same background (with the mask), and the colour details on the leaves (or whatever you have) will match the background perfectly.

[modgalaxys]

OMG this is the tutorial I have been looking for ❤️❤️❤️ you have saved my career, thanks a million times.

[edzymods]

The best background removal video I have seen yet.

[ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

You explained this really clearly, I think even kids would would be able to get this! I wasn't necessarily looking for this tutorial, but I have definitely learned something, and will hark back to this in times of need!

[dublethink]

Fantastic! These are the kinds of Photoshop techniques that separate the pros from the amateurs. Non-destructive editing, great use of adjustment and clipping layers, other things I know I should be doing but usually don't 🤣
