This is how you make a tutorial. Speak slowly and clearly, no mumbling, no background music, no babbling on about your personal problems, name and show the location of each tool by zooming in. You would not believe the impossible tutorials I have sat through about masking. I finally know how to do it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I had no idea "refine edge" was such and incredibly powerful tool. _THIS CHANGES _*_EVERYTHING_*_!!!_ You, sir, have my eternal gratitude!

[seedymellon]

This is by far the best tutorial using this technique that I have seen. Clear concise instructions, no useless and annoying overbearing background music, just straight to the point. Thanks very much

Sarimzaidy...The brush of the refine edge tool covers both the hair and portions of the background as you brush over it. When you release your mouse or pen, you should see good results. If you don't, there's something amiss in your psd file.

I now work on cs6 but just love the way you make it so simple. You're one of the fastest in the business. Thanks a lot.

[bldann]

I have struggled and struggled to learn this. Your technique, or explanation of it, has finally reached me! Thanks so much!

[waynereither]

You have now explained a problem I have been having when I use the quick selection tool and to refine the edge. Thank you for making this quick tutorial.

[ashrafhassan]

Thank you. No "blablabla". Just to the point. Direct & clear.
