Great video! A couple of friendly advises:
1. Use adjustments (curves, levels etc) as adjustment layers instead of directly applying them to your original photo. That way, any adjustments you make can be fine tuned and undone later as necessary, non destructively. Also, using adjustment layers gives you the ability to mask out desired portion of the image.
2. After selecting out an area (In this case, the shoe), right click on it and go to "refine edges" option. You can slightly blur out the edges (what you did with a brush tool here) in one click.
YES! Exactly what I was looking for and thank you so much for takin the time to explain how to use the tool correctly. Can't wait to try!
This is the 38th video I have watched on this specific topic in the past month. Yours is by far THE BEST. Thank you for an actually comprehensive guide that doesn't go too fast or whip out secret photoshop spells without addressing the keystrokes. Awesome.
Thank you Dansky. Recently I've been following your tutorials, learning both Ai and Ps. You taught me quite a lot tiny knacks. Really really thank you, and I'll move on.
This is amazing. i realized again, that the photoshop is glorious. and your hands are too! thank you, Dansky
I have been looking for this kind of tutorial for a long time. Thank you.
thank you so much - I have just spent hours searching the internet for exactly this! everyone did speak, didn't explain tools or anything - but this is perfect! legend!
Blurring the edges was a clever idea. Thanks for the tutorial, Densky 👍🏻
You have made my product photography attempts a lot easier, thank you so much!
Cheers from Egypt!
love you man, im a beginner in the design world and this is VERY helpful. keep on the good work!!!
Thanks a lot, the tutorial was so helpful!
Watching the 'blurring the edges' part thought of a quicker way of apllying filter-gaussian blur
Amazing! The blurring of the edges really made the extracted image in my work subtly more natural. Thanks for the tip and the vid!
ivanaishere Hey thanks ivanaishere, great to know that the video was helpful!

Thanks a ton for posting this video. I reference it all the time and have forwarded it to others. Great video!
Thank you so much
Really great tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to explain things in such great detail in a way that is easy to understand.
That was very helpful. I'm going to follow it through again and again tomorrow, oh it is tomorrow and how time flies watching someone doing a very good job. I'm believe it or not editing my stock pics of shoes, yes shoes and this tutorial will come in very handy. Thanks an awful lot, really appreciate your time.
Thanks Dansky, this helped me a lot.
Ps: I googled how you resized the brush quickly, it's done with "[" and "]" keys on Windows for anyone that's curious too.
Thanks. I've avoided that pen tool for a very long time. Hopefully I can start using it more confidently now. Amazing work.
Awesome video, explained really well. Made my life that much easier. Thank you

+Memorable Moments Photography Thanks very much - hopefully it all helps :)
Great video!
Very nice, thanks!
Best pen tool tutorial!
Thank you so much!
Great tutorial. The gold here for me was how to retain the shadows from the original product image.
You mentioned Photoshop has several ways to perform a single task, where you retouched the outline of the product using the 'blur tool' what are some other methods we can use? Will selecting the path and applying a feather mask achieve a similar result?
thanks for teaching us your video is really helpful and great.
This was freaking perfect!!! Right what I was looking for! Couldn't find any other tutorial that showed that and you did it perfectly! Thanks man!!
