This is the FIRST time anyone said, or I heard, to start the brush inside of the hair to 'sample' what you're looking for. I have never had any success with the refine edge brush because all the tutorials I watched just showed them running the brush over the edge. They didn't say to start within the selection. I'd run my brush over the edge and never got a good selection. I followed along this time not expecting miracles, but I got one. Thank you, Aaron.
Now that youtube removed Dislikes so that you can't see if the video is worth watching. Imma just tell you who's watching right now. This one is WORTH IT!
Im having this problem where when I'm in select in mask, and I use the refine edge tool, when I click on the hair and drag out, it makes that selection transparent, any tips?
Same here. I get a + sign in the circular cursor, where Aaron has a dot (.) inside the cursor... I've copied his settings, tried this tut several times, but i keep on hanging on refining the hair where it adds more mask instead of hair. Changing to the minus sign (-) doesn't do anything either... :-(
I have already completed 50 videos to learn How to refine hair from images but you are the best in all of this videos. thanks for your help. My name is Noor From Bangladesh.
When I was trying to learn about the editing side of Photography I looked at Phlearn videos because Aaron explains things better than anywhere else I found and now, with 30 days of Photoshop, I'm learning much more. This is a fantastic series for learning about Photoshop and I am enjoying working through them. Thanks for this Aaron.
Your tutorials are the best , I've gone through many channels but couldn't able to understand much , your this video made me understand about this technique, thank you very much .
Thank YOU!!!! All the "mask hair tutorials" have never been REAL WORLD examples of what we really need! Difficulty level High type tutorials. And still quick! This is dope!
Much respect for you Aaron, I am following your channel from long back and I should say it is the best training channel with clear and crisp information without any sort of drama. And I love the way you speak !
Anyone else having a problem making this work in a more recent release? This originally worked perfectly for me. Now, working with 21.2.4, I cannot get the refine edge brush tool to work the way he does (@4:38) in this tutorial.
I really do appreciate you for having this 30 days ps tutorial. I have learned a lot. Thank you and God bless you man. What a to help folks get started.
@@Tgrjye I did :( And after that I take the brush , overlay mode and that brush keeps removing instead of discovering some parts...So frustrating :( Tried thousands times
@@ivanacorac9728 I have the same problem, i have the exact same settings but no strands of hair are discovered off the head, hair is only removed on the head.
First off, thank you so much for your in-depth instructions! I'm just having trouble with the select and mask function. After I outline the hair and hit output to layer mask button nothing happens with my selection...it looks the same as when I selected the subject initially... Appreciate any advice!
Amazing tutorial, Aaron. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how the "Refine hair" tool worked, but I know now and will save a lot of time from this.
As a beginner to photoshop, this helped me tons! Seriously thank you so much for putting in the time to explain, show us, all in a slow manner! Really helps me especially to understand how to do certain things, as well as understanding how the edit was able to happen
Thank you very much it helps me alot, more that Iam lazy with cutting hair on Photoshop with tutorials and tutorials and with you it was very easy I think I followed you for a reason more videos like this and have good New Year 😊😊😊
Thanks Aaron. It has always been a head scratcher as to where and when the tool samples from. Do you click on stuff you don’t want, or stuff you do? The tool always seemed to have a mind of its own. Even previous tutorials haven’t been specific as to this behaviour. So thanks for clearing that up. Before now it was easier to just use the old refine edge command. I might trust this a little more now. I do find my photoshop hangs a lot when using select and mask though so that’s annoying. All the best to you. 👍🏻😊
I hate masking hair and fur but you explained and demonstrated it so easily. Lots of content creators show how to but you explain why without making it too complicated.
Hi Great tutorial about a difficult techniqueThe tip about using overlay has solved a lot of my problems. My working with the Refine Edge tool has also improved. Thank you
Been trying to learn this technique for years and this finally made sense to me. Also, the way you set the tutorial made it fun and enjoyable to watch unlike other tutorials that make me want to beat my head with my keyboard. Keep up the good work!!
I recently upgraded to Adobe CC and, although I've been using the layer mask/refine edge brush method for years now, I still learned quite a few new things from this vid, thanks a lot!
This is the best video I've ever watched on this topic, partly aided by the new Select Subject function but still. Too many tutors show you the complicated way you used to have to do things. This was so much better. I'll watch more from the series.
I'm always curious as to what people use for hardness and spacing in the refine brush edge tool. I can never strike a happy medium. I'm not even sure what the spacing means for this tool. What's the best setting Aaron? Thanks for posting these awesome 30 Days of Photoshop.
I can never get it to look as detailed as this. I don't know if there's not enough contrast against the backgrounds that I'm working with but the edge hairs always end up floating in my images.
Having lots of trouble here - using the 'refine edge' brush in the select/mask mode and it cuts out chunks of hair every time I click (select) and then drag. Any tips?
Many photoshop step-by-step tutorials skip over subtle details, but this guy really doesn't miss a beat. And his explanations are crystal clear.
This is without kidding the best photoshop series on TH-cam. Thanks!
Ditto this.
@@TaylorTrask I fully agree with you it's the best photoshop channel simple and straight
Then I'd say you haven't encountered the Asian guy with the unibrow

@@Uzodesign he talks too much.

WOW!! Changing the mode of the brush tool to Overlay for masking! Never imagined that and it is brilliant. Thank you Aaron Nace.
Exact same reaction, such an insane tip!
It'll work for GIMP also. Yay. Thanks for the tip.
This is the most important technique I have ever learn from my entire Photoshop journey.

Dansky is good as well.
Your tutorials are the best , I've gone through many channels but couldn't able to understand much , your this video made me understand about this technique, thank you very much .
I tried using the refine edge brush exactly as you explained, but it keeps erasing the hair instead of bringing the details out.

There is option called Refine Hair inside Select and Mask in newer version of PS which does all work for you
Thank you, Brother! I have learned a lot of techniques in photoshop from you!
Your explanation fly over my mind, but appreciate your efforts
