sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Marley Parker Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
i know about calculation for contrasting subject and background but the way you applied it and combining selection parts and brushing modes are amazing technic. Superb bro. Amazing work.
Very good tutorial. I put your techniques to the test on a photo of Shakira and got what appears to be good results. It's going to take a lot of practice to get the hang of this (it's a challenging task) and I know not to get discouraged with results after leaving calculations. Making adjustments at the end with the brush as you did really makes things look OK. Thanks!
I would have liked to see you stick with that first image and bring it to perfection. Any tutorial can teach you to get as far as yours did. Almost everyone needs to watch an expert get to the finish line. EDIT: the Calculations method was pretty cool! That makes this tutorial worthwhile. Finish those photos and it would be perfect.
This is an excellent tutorial!! I gave myself a difficult challenge to insert myself, with my wispy hair, from my ugly light-beige wall to a forest background in a Harry Potter-esque vibe, and for being a complete newbie, it looks pretty darn good - because of you! :D
I love this tutorial, I always get hung up on one step on every tutorial and mess up. I have spent hours trying to get this right. On this one, it's the lasso tool and fill black.... Simple, but it doesn't want to work for me. However, the more I attempt this tutorial, I find that the Refine Tool has been changed. It's a bit hard.
A wonderful tutorial, but oh so quick and Oh so much to absorb. I've watched each one twice now and I'm just beginning to grasp what's being done. I'm off to try out the channels and the blending mode part to make the mask. I know I don't understand the painting white / black over the mask to refine the edges on the hair selection. What I'd need is a few written prompt notes to accompany the stages. Nonetheless an inspirational video, which I'd need to run on my laptop whilst trying it on my desktop. Thanks for posting it. Any printed notes please?
Subbed! Reeeally nice demonstration of the technique, and it's definitely nice to hear the shortcuts you're using - such as Alt+Backspace and X. Thanks!
it worked but then I tried again with a white background, with a forest at the top..(was image of a fox with snow at bottom in a forest) and it didn't work in selecting the bottom portion of the fox where the white snow is. Could you possibly add any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi! Great tutorial! learned so much.Quick question please. Is there a specific reason you used the brushes w/overlay & soft light modes to really push the contrast? Could you also have used dodge/burn just as easily?
Seems strange. You can double click on a Channel's thumbnail to access the options for that channel, but the fastest thing to do would be to select the channel and hit Cmd/Ctrl + I to just flip the colors and then when you load the channel it will select what you want.
Another great tutorial! How do you make your UI interface (Layer bands, adjustment icons, etc) so large. Mine on a 27" Retina iMac seem so much smaller and difficult to see...
hey, i need some advice here... (asap) im trying to select kind of silver to white hair from a light gray bg, and i have no idea how to create that contrast. pls help me :/
Holy COW!!!! what is this? This is freaking awesome mate i nice!!!! very very nice thumbs up even u speak faster i understand the way u explain the details hahahahaha BIG HELP honestly
There are tutorials out there that are done to music. In this case music would have gotten me nowhere. Too fast? I don't know but I will say he deserves lots of credit for talking us through the steps. If it's too fast you can always go back however many times you need to until you follow what he is saying.
For me it didnt work but I know it's because of me, not tutvid. Gotta keep practicing instead of blaming my own mistakes on others...oh right, i didnt notice the troll on his name
this is my 3rd day with photoshop... by the end of the video i checked out my picture and it turns out that i was painting all over my picture and not a layer like i was suppose to be... oh well haha.. best place for tutorials tho! i am so thankful i found your site.
My little Photoshop brain is just so pleased with this video. Everyone takes the easy way out and has the difficult subject on a no brainer background. Finally something that represents reality of the difficulties we encounter. Best I have ever seen and I seen too much of the no brainers. Thank you so much for your presentation. Someone said you talk too fast. May I just say that's why we have the ability to back things up and allow things to repeat themselves until (hopefully) things sink in. And if I may say one more thing, "just try it 10 times folks and it will be embedded in you forever" thanks again friend.
HELP!!! I need to make a shortcut(or is there one that exist) for the clone stamp tool. When the clone stamp tool is selected, and I want to switch between "Current Layer and Current and Below" This would save so much time Please help!!!!
Sir can you please make a tutorial on black hairs because in this tutorial the women have white hairs and these are easy to make contrast with levels or calculations but how to make contrast or to select black hairs. Its quite a difficult job. Please if you can make a tutorials on it so i will be very thankful to you. Apreciated in advance.
This is the best selection tutorial I had a problem selecting something but with this it's going to be easy, I didn't thought about doing multiple calculations to have different selections into 1
This is 'THE' Best place for Photoshop Tutorials as far as I'm concerned.
another great tutorial Nathaniel !
'Bajillion Times'...lol love it :)

@Marley Parker Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Marley Parker It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Abraham Javier You are welcome :)
this is the best tutorial on how to cut out hair I found in a very long time, thanks alot!
Love it. Thanks so much! 👍
Bloody brilliant tutorial. Calculations, who would have known! You my friend, just earned yourself a new sub.
Thanks, Geo! Hope you love what you see on the channel!
i know about calculation for contrasting subject and background but the way you applied it and combining selection parts and brushing modes are amazing technic. Superb bro. Amazing work.
Amazingly clear guide. I knew how to do this like 5 years ago and needed a refresher, thanks so much.
My PS skills become much better with your tutorials, great. Thnx
You were right... This is the tutorial to end all tutorials on hair selection.! Thank you!
Really great tutorial. I'm in outlining hell with hair and this has saved me
Haha. I like the way you have with words, Julie 😂
Very good tutorial. I put your techniques to the test on a photo of Shakira and got what appears to be good results.

Simple, but it doesn't want to work for me. However, the more I attempt this tutorial, I find that the Refine Tool has been changed. It's a bit hard.
If you Shift + Click on Select and Mask you'll get the older Refine Edge tool I used in this video.
Great tutortial...Do you have any vids on touching up the background stuff behind the hair or even catching every strand of hair?
I'm sure I do cover touching up flyaway hairs in a few of my tutorials. I think I covered that in the tutorials I've done on the Healing Brush tool.
Can you do a tutorial on the blending modes?
Like a video series where you explain the groups and the individuals
I get this request a bunch. I actually put it on my tutorial list earlier today! Thanks for the comment! 🍻

No written notes for this video. I'm hoping to start creating written accompaniments for upcoming videos at some point for sure.
have you done them yet?
Finally! A video tutorial on selecting difficult hair from a complex background. Your legit bro.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best tutorial I've watched in a long time! Thanks
Very kind words. Thank you so much! 🍻
Can u make a tutorial on polar coordinate ?
Dude, 4 years later i find this video and i'm like : Wtf is this. Thanks for sharing, it's juste insane. I never saw that before.
Where can we find the rest of the redhead tutorial on how to get rid of the green around the ends of her hair??
Subbed! Reeeally nice demonstration of the technique, and it's definitely nice to hear the shortcuts you're using - such as Alt+Backspace and X. Thanks!
Glad to hear! Thanks for the subscription!
it worked but then I tried again with a white background, with a forest at the top..(was image of a fox with snow at bottom in a forest) and it didn't work in selecting the bottom portion of the fox where the white snow is. Could you possibly add any suggestions? Thanks!
Would you ever use the refine edge tool after using this method?
THIS!!! this is a quality tutorial!!
Thanks for share !!
great video :) awesome stuff, have not heard of the calculations, just channel before.Thanks for the tips
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Great useful tutorial. Thanks
Hi! Great tutorial! learned so much.Quick question please. Is there a specific reason you used the brushes w/overlay & soft light modes to really push the contrast? Could you also have used dodge/burn just as easily?
can you tell me where i can find the offset and scale option in cc 2017 ? i don't see the options anymore
wwhen i ctrl click then ctrl shift click i dont get the overall selection ???
One word, Excellent!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🍻
Now I'm Working on a source photo of a hazy-haired brunette with a black background, feeling stuck... :D

Hey man from where you got that intro music.bloody awesome just need that music. Please help me out on that
I have a question: When I cmd+click on a channel, the dark(black) area is selected and not to white as it shown in the video. How I can fix that?
Seems strange. You can double click on a Channel's thumbnail to access the options for that channel, but the fastest thing to do would be to select the channel and hit Cmd/Ctrl + I to just flip the colors and then when you load the channel it will select what you want.
Thanks! New level of background removal for me.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Kind sir, can you tell me what graphic tablet you are using :D ? will be kind if you replied..
Awsome tuts
Thanks, man! That is the Wacom Intuos Pro Medium sized tablet.
Another great tutorial! How do you make your UI interface (Layer bands, adjustment icons, etc) so large. Mine on a 27" Retina iMac seem so much smaller and difficult to see...
I scaled my resolution to make larger text in my Display settings on Mac.
Nice tutorial, Thanks Dear!

This is a really good tutorial, thanks!

you can solve this with a hue saturation layer very easy. ;)
hey, i need some advice here... (asap) im trying to select kind of silver to white hair from a light gray bg, and i have no idea how to create that contrast. pls help me :/
aaaand to make things worse her hair's braided.

that was awesome
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you :)
genius!
nice
THANKS!!!
Thank you!
Thumbs Up!
Thank you!
what if the hair was black?!
Same technique would work. As long as there is some kind of color/light difference between the hair and the background, you can cut it out.
Can anyone who is expierienced in editing pics edit someting for me? i can pay if you want
You speak very quickly i don't understand nothing, sorry
lol, true but he does he has great tutorials though ..
for me, hes the only YT who isnt way too slow. Hes perfect

I don't know but I will say he deserves lots of credit for talking us through the steps. If it's too fast you can always go back however many times you need to until you follow what he is saying.
Go to vid settings and choose speed = 0.75
Sorry, sound OK.
All this done by the simple select subject tool with layer mask. This is very older version of tut. Lol
like
Thank yiou!
FIRST
+Krabbel8beiner Hehe
second
There are easier quicker ways. Too long winded
time looser
Love! Will you marry me 😘❤️
+Melanie Dodson Already did. 😘
Nevermind..I following your tutorials step by step and then the end result is trash. Double thumbs down bc that happens every single time. Unsub.
you should watch a photoshop basic video first before clicking on an advanced video
For me it worked perfectly
Haha. Thanks, man. Critical Troll is just being critical 😜
For me it didnt work but I know it's because of me, not tutvid. Gotta keep practicing instead of blaming my own mistakes on others...oh right, i didnt notice the troll on his name
Carlos Parra
same with me xD
Im gonna need to watch this about 10 times before it fully sinks in, but awesome tut, Thanks :)
this is my 3rd day with photoshop... by the end of the video i checked out my picture and it turns out that i was painting all over my picture and not a layer like i was suppose to be... oh well haha..

how about zooming in a bit....not everyone has that big ass screen like you...very good tutorial tho
Haha. Newer tutorials I have zoomed it way in. Thanks for the comment! 🍻
this tut is best I've watched, thank you!
at 10:40 i dont understand why ythe selection took the one done after the coloring and not the former one we did?
HELP!!! I need to make a shortcut(or is there one that exist) for the clone stamp tool. When the clone stamp tool is selected, and I want to switch between "Current Layer and Current and Below" This would save so much time Please help!!!!
Sir can you please make a tutorial on black hairs because in this tutorial the women have white hairs and these are easy to make contrast with levels or calculations but how to make contrast or to select black hairs. Its quite a difficult job. Please if you can make a tutorials on it so i will be very thankful to you. Apreciated in advance.
IT IS NOT WORKING! There are too many grey fringes and I don't know what to do with it. The details are mostly lost!!!
Thanks a lot. :)

I think the background eraser should do a good job as well in that last example since the studio background color is to sample. .
that is a great combination for using chanle alpha to get great hair selection. good tutorial !
Advertising on TH-cam has become really tedious
very confusing. I have spent lots pf time with no results at all.
Why can't I hear any of your videos???????????
This is the best selection tutorial I had a problem selecting something but with this it's going to be easy, I didn't thought about doing multiple calculations to have different selections into 1
This is the video to learn how to separate hair.
excellent tutorial. I have CC 2015.5 and my calculations panel does not have "offset" am I doing something wrong?
That's strange. It should be there is you have either the "Add" or "Subtract" blend mode selected.
i feel like i am listening to an episode of Anne
thanks, its a very informative video, but man do you talk fast a A LOT lol
