Another good tut. Thank you.

[@HTGGeorge]

Glad you enjoyed it Peggy!

Another awesome video George. Using the sponge tool to desaturate the green colour is a great tip. I use Photoshop CS6 because I don't have Elements, but I can still use all your tips and techniques. Many thanks, and keep the videos coming.

[@HTGGeorge]

You're welcome! Photoshop Elements has a lot in common with Photoshop CS6.

[@febeleven]

Very good video. I didn't know that there was an easier way then I was doing it. I would select the area and usually go to Enhance, Adjust color, Adjust Hue/Saturation.
Thank You!

[@HTGGeorge]

Thanks! In the correct situation that desaturate tool works great.

Hey George, thanks for the redo on this dog video, I really had not used the sponge tool yet but have had many cases where knowledge of it would have been helpful!! I agree also with that brush for refining is a tool they could just do away with. I tried your settings on the normal refine edge and it worked very well, it is always about hair that seems to be the problem. Hope you are doing well and watched your color wheel video the other day but wanted to watch it again before I commented, you had a lot of good ideas I need to take note of!
Again as always, thank you for what you do! Just for fun, wanted to let you know that I have fallen out of love with Luminar and am going to be switching back to Nik DxO sometime this year. I have tried about everyone's product out there and I was the happiest with my results using Nik. The black and white program is very exceptional but the selective area editing with the points was the feature I liked the best. Will still keep Luminar and Neo around but I have my places for them in my workflow. Also have uses for Topaz Labs, their products help get around a lot of issues. Elements will always be good for me when do more composition based work and all the bells and whistles that come with it.
Enjoy your Holidays

Hi Rich! since the original video still gets 1200 views a month I thought that I should do a current version. I will be doing a few more of these updates of older videos soon. The problems with hair are usually because there isn't enough pixel information there for the strands. Working with a higher res image helps a lot.
I know what you mean about Luminar, real fun to play with, but never became one of my go to programs.
We always have a good time for Halloween because one of our good friends has her birthday right before Halloween so she always has a big themed birthday party. We also go there every Thanksgiving. This could be the last year though as they are moving out of California and going to South Carolina to escape the high cost of living. We may do something simiilar in the future. I love the weather here in CA, but the prices get worse every year and to tell the truth what I make through TH-cam just isn't keeping up. So, like a lot of people this winter, the holidays have been better.

Make it simpler, just want to remove the background Remove a black ground from
a star.
JD

[@HTGGeorge]

Removing the sky from behind a star requires a different technique and will not necessarily be successful. The problem is the glow around the star, that glow is on the black, so either you leave in some of the black or you have to add in some glow after removing the background. Try this, here is a great site for removing backgrounds automatically www.remove.bg, this is my favorite fast background removal tool.

I payed for your course, and I get the same content as your channel. What is the point?

[@HTGGeorge]

The content is completely different. In my course I cover how to use each tool, each panel, each menu etc in great detail. Also the course covers everything in PSE, all the modes, the Editor and the Organizer, all options, etc. and I only include just a few projects, it is mostly teaching the program. On TH-cam my videos are all projects, almost no videos on specific tools. The way I have this set up and the way my channel was originally designed is for people to take my course, then come to TH-cam for additional practice. The real training is in the course, not on TH-cam, so if you really want to learn how to use Photoshop Elements then forget TH-cam and go for the course.
