In this tutorial, we will learn how to utilize the power of channels to select the hair, then we will use simple techniques like cloning, painting, and clipping masks to remove the hair fringe. In this video, I'm going to show you two examples in different situations so that the concept becomes clearer.

hey there lovely weirdos, I know it's 2021 but I dare to ask - is Photoshop CS6 still good enough for freelance graphic design and occasional photo editing??
I have it on my old PC and it runs smoothly and I don't have money right now to spend it on a monster computer so I can run the newest version
@@mkm1015 I know its 4 months past your comment, but I think Photoshop CS6 is good enough for someone to start, at least until they got money to buy a new PC. Sure, you'll need to have a lot of patience and persistence, because in the newer versions of PS, there are a lot of things that are way easier and simpler to do, but nothing that is impossible with CS6.
I have been learning from this guy since the beginning 👍🏾👌🏾 but now I only come to hear him say "without any further ado"🤪😂
I watch a lot of tutorials, I usually end up skipping through to the main points. But for you sir, for you, I wanna listen and watch the whole thing. You are an incredible teacher, consider becoming a professor one day bro. Thanks for your time and dedication, wish you the best!
Man, you are the most professional PS teacher on YT I have ever seen. Keep going !

@@mkm1015 It'll do bro. You may lack few features such as Adobe Sensei's "Select Subject" and what have you, but it'll do.
Dude, I love your tutorials! So easy to follow and very well explained. I love it when you explain something that is somewhat complicated and you say "Make sense? No? Here, let me show you." most youtube tutors just give the technical explanation (half the time it's inaccurate/poorly explained) and assume the viewer understands and moves on, but you take the time to thoroughly explain it. Please keep up the great work! You've really helped me to better understand the "reason why/how this tool does what it does when you do this" most the time I guess and it works out hahahaha
18 years of experience yet I keep learning new ways of working in photoshop thanks to your videos. Hands down the best tutorials.
Mind blown! The hints you give away are just amazing! I've never seen such a patient and enthusiastic teacher! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Thank you! You deserved 100k, even more followers. 40 minute tutorial with in-depth explanations, examples, *protips* and information!!! With so much positivity even with the cold... Thank God for people like this, who are willing to put effort in creating tutorials like this. You mister are true sensei! 👏👏👏. I always take the notebook and a pen so I can write down and learn from you and than, later, transfer it on to my work. Once again thank you for all the tutorials and positive energy you are creating.

Ahh how I wished I got this numbers too...
Thank you for the amazing tutorials. Not only you cover a wide range of information but you also teach it so very tangible that is not confusing or all over the place at all. Thank you so very much.
Best Photoshop tutorials on TH-cam, superb quality and it's obvious you enjoy helping fellow Photoshop users, well done
Photoshop should hire him, especially to answer questions by beginners....He has incredible patience and pays attention to details other instrutors are challenged by.
@@moonshadow3569 no they shouldnt, if they hire him, he wont have time to focus on his own projects and mostly youtube, and we dont want that
@@SwastikSwarupDas good point.....
I go back and forth rewatching these vids throughout the last few years and this is my fav intro track of them all..I kinda miss it lol
Great again Unmesh! I usually struggle when selecting hair. Sometimes it doesn't look natural and I end up frustrated :(
Thanks Jorge! With the advanced select and mask or channels, more often than not, it is not a mask problem. The hair is so thin, that it takes the color of the background. That's why, in this video I have covered how to remove those fringes.
me too
@@arko3822 no only photoshop adobe photoshop
Probably the best video I have seen on hair selection.
Most importantly, it demonstrates the fact that there is no substitute for careful work aided by clever use of the tools in PS.
You are a professional man, Thank you very much for this awesome tutorial.
omg idk how you can be this genius to come up with very professional ways and marvellous explanations
This was such an awesome tutorial! I've been wondering how this was done and was struggling with just refining edges!! LOL Thank you!!!
This is one of the best tutorials that i've seen to select hair. Thanks for making it easier for me to understand
Great video as always! I have struggled at first with fringes by using first brush (darken) and then clone stamp. so i tried to use first clone stamp and then corrected edges with brush (darken) and results were perfect
This is the best tutorial on hair selection I've ever seen and I've seen them all.
i agree
very precise
You sir, are a gifted teacher. Thankyou for this excellent and comprehensive tutorial. It is so easy to understand. 👍
SOOOO.....here's the thing...I am a kid...and idk how to edit stuff or do anything in photoshop.....BUT YOU MISTER.....SAVED MY DAY........I being a teen was able to do this on my first try.....THANK U ALOT!!!!....God bless you and your channel...I JUST HAD TO COMMENT.....Coz I am very happy !!!!!!
I like the way how you explain throughout the tutorials. you're not lazy in explaining
10 years in Photoshop and never knew I could rotate stamp tool. Youre a God.
i hate myself
Thank you for all the explanation! I really appreciate you lessons! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Thank you for all your tutorials, they are always so easy and great to follow! With this one, I am having some problems tho cause I am working with black hair and a very dark background >< But I am still trying! Thx again!
I spent the whole day like 15 hours doing them both + color matching so yea thank you again
Another fantastic tutorials. thanks a lot!
I heard lot of lectures but Sir Umesh techniques are really really outstanding
all of your videos that I've been watched, never fails to impressed me. kudos to you sir.
from Philippines.
Just discovered your videos. Your tutorials are so clear and informative. Really amazing job. Already helped me so much.
You're the best photoshop teacher I have ever watched. Because of you I have became so much better. Thank you so much for your time and effort I've spent hours watching your videos when I feel like giving up. Photoshop is no joke. One of the hardest programs I've had to learn! But I'm beyond thankful for your videos! I enjoy making manipulation scenes! Can you make one! I'd love to watch it!
Dear! I think in some situations, as some are struggling with dark hair in dark background, my decision would be to actually DRAW HAIR, rather than try to unsuccesfully select it in messed up colour issues.
I think that creating a script with some 5 basic patterns of ''hair'' would do the trick: select only the hair that's not messing with the background, then draw new ones from nowhere.
I know it's a drastic decision but however it'll take less time & struggle. It should take practice and experimenting, but sometimes the fringes are still there, specially in purple BG.
Thank you so much for explaining in-deep the WHY you are doing this or that!! and not just doing the magic :)
Boy, you are by far the best I have known before. You are a true Photoshop master. Congratulations!
One of the best hair selection tutorials!
r u serious ? lol
Yes but it is lengthy process, there might be some fast process
@@cyrusghosh3375 the easier path won't necessarily be the best one.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. 😌🙏🏻
That's a great tutorial! You explain everything very nicely and make it easy to comprehend. Thanks!!
The video title says it 'the BEST'! it is the BEST!

I'm just halfway through the video and he already dropped so many helpful techniques and advice. This is amazing! :D

You are the best detailed Person as far i have seen ..... Thank You So Much BIG beloved Brother
You are da man, da myth and da legend, Unmesh!! A big thank you from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This was so helpful! I always struggle selecting hair, but i will never again!
What a comprehensive knowledge you have about Photoshop. Thank you man for your hard work, it helps me a lot! Keep safe!
You can also use the density tool (O) to darken/lighten the background on your channel layer localy. In an other method you can merge channels each others (Alt+i+p) its works well. Greatings from france
Thank you for making all these awesome videos. They helped me tackle the problems from my projects. Less panic from work. Phew...
what a gem of a tutorial. Answers all the questions.
You are truly one of the best (if not the best) tutors on the internet. Cheers!

Amaaaaazing teacher! Thank you soo much.
You're the Greatest tutor ever in any subject...
Thanks a million...
Small question.
What if the hair and background color is very similar?
Daaaaang! I'm a photo manipulation noob and I just learned how to use quick masking, but I didn't know this was even possible. That's some sorcery right there. Awesome stuff!
amazing tutorial as always, best photoshop channel for learning pro tips. I struggle with hair and this tutorial helps me a lot.
Bro You are best teacher for Photoshop and yr every tutorial is great but i have fast and easy hair cutting trick Thanks great Photoshop work

This is definitely one of the most underrated episodes of Content Cop
Honestly, I was wondering why I was thinking the same thing. It's the music isn't it?
It can be seen how much perfection put in the picture...👍
I have never seen like this tutorial before, you are just awesome man,,I like u & I like your every style,, go ahead,, best of luck
Great tutor! He even had a recap and has a repetition from his teaching. Thanks for the video tutorial . I think i'm gonna watch more from you. God bless!
Good masking tutorial. However, if I could make a suggestion on a follow-up tutorial on masking hair. Try masking hair from a similar color background. You can keep this background but make the model a brunette. Masking then becomes a challenge.
Till the end I didn't noticed whether you showed your face or not.. You explain it so amazing that I can visualize your face..
You sound so well though you were not feeling well. Your passion shines through.Thank you.
Thanks a lot. You are a photoshop wizard, I've learned so much from you.
You deserve crores of following because your teaching is so accurate and and in detailed manner ur doing great job bro

a true treacher a true master of his craft

I really enjoy your training style. Very easy to follow!
i would like to thank you for all the effort you put to your videos i learned so much from you i hope you all the success in life
Pretty cool, great tips. I'm glad you are back in business and better again.
Your tutorials are incredibly useful and even quite charming.
Knowledge is free so I respectfully say thank you for the tutorial. good job bro :)
amazing tutorial, I never knew you can fix the annoying fringes so easily
Fantastic! You are a master!
Thank you for making this video. Very helpful!
*Really HELP for beginner !!!* Thanks bro
I am going to use this method, your vids are a learning experience
Excellent video. You do a great job of explaining your process.
that thing with the rotate helped me soooo much you are life saver
Great thank you, you are a master of PS, so much appreciate your work and time. Hair in photos have many complexities. Can you make a video on 1) hair extraction that has a busy and less contrasting colour background 2) Dark hair that has brighter highlights on outer flecks as light hits, and that are blending into light background colour. 3) When select Mask and other tools are unable to pick up stray hairs.
Has anyone told you lately that you are simply MARVELLOUS, your tuts easy to follow, you sense of humour delights....and I will now enter into Photoshop Hell and try to do something with my hairy image.
Dude thank you so much! I really needed it!
Is this technique only good for hairs or could I use it to select elements in complex backgrounds?
Thank you for this great piece of content
I Love your hardwork and perfect explanation 🙂🙂🙃🙃🙂🙂😊
dude, you're awesome!
It was funny to see that I managed to follow along and achieve the same results on Ps 7.0 from 18 years ago :)
Thx for sharing!
Amazing tutorial.. good bless you to get well soon..
Best selection tutorial I've seen.
Hi Unmesh, Thank you so much for your tutorials...I am learning lots from you. I have also noticed some of your lessons on Kelby One training. You are a very good instructor, you have clear explanations for the procdures and steps. Like very much your review at the end of the lessons, too. (NOTE: I was doing a similar lesson with Scott Kelby online and he was sharing a a few steps he learned from Lee Varis (Hollywood movie poster retoucher) that he added after the defringing steps by recopying the background portrait layer twice more....that way he was able to avoid the cloning tool step.) You may see the video to see what you think.....I know there are many ways to achieve similar results.
You do such wonderful lessons and I am amazed at your immense knowledge of Photoshop. I do your lessons several times until I understand the concepts. Once again, thank you so much....just wanted to share back something you might like;
