Blend modes are one of the best ways to capture every strand of hair. However, the blend mode you use will depend on the color of the background. This technique works best if the background is solid grey, white or black. If the background is around 50% grey (as it was in this video) then hard light or overlay could work. However, if your subject/person is on a white or black background then you would use multiply or screen respectively.
In my experience, having the subject on white background set to multiply usually yields the best results. Because for most types of hair, a white background will give the greatest amount of contrast. If a person has white or light grey hair then a black background set to screen would be better.
True, all true. My challenge here was to come up with an approach that works with more casual. run-of-the-mill, generally plain backdrops. Doesn’t have to be gray. Low-color works fine, such as picture-free home or office walls. Bricks, tho, not so much. 😁
Great tutorial. Thank you. It has been a lot of years to watch a video tutorial by You.
Awesome, excellent, thx!
Deke - just to confirm - did the refine brushing get rid of the halo? Some day Adobe will develop the Remove Halos Brush.
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
You can never be too detailed when presenting to rookies.
At 12:06, you can see the halo around the shoulder is diminished, but not entirely eliminated.
Agreed, it would be very nice to have a Remove Halos Brush-especially in the standard toolbox (i.e., not inside a workspace).
Excellent tutorial, nicely explained ❤
Thank you!
Brilliant! Many thanks.
My pleasure!
Helpful and informative tutorial! Thank you so much Deke! God bless and good luck!
Excellent. Glad to be of service!
Amazing method... jawdropping results... So good...
Thanks!
Outstanding! Keep posting!
Thank you!
Your work is professional and i like it, Thank you!.❤
My pleasure!
Interesting approach, thanks. In my opinion you should explain the method in a quarter of the time and demonstrate it on 3 other different portrait, with different, more intricate background. Same length, much more helpful.
Excellent info!
Thank you!
I tried it.. the best method to mask hair.. thank you so much
Excellent news!!
Great Deke short and substancial
Thank you!
great video, thank you 💪
My pleasure!
Excellent !
thx!
This is brilliant thanks so much, I subscribed...
Well, that is great new, thx!
Why is it in the last step remove background it dosen't do that, it shows the background from layer beneath that you desaturated but not the picture you wanted as background?
Very cool, thankya!
My pleasure!
OMG, I've been watching ur vids on hair masking since ur Lynda days. A very fascinating & complex subject, with ur your technique's it make it much more easier than usual. I am glad i found ur TH-cam site. -PS i was waiting for the dreaded Calculation method, Suppose the new Improvements means that method is now redundent?
Followed. Thanks again A*****************
Great news! No way is obsolete-in fact, might have to visit calculations soon 😁
Excellent Tutorial Sir... I am Pinaki from India... Almighty God bless U
Thx!
What a great technique! Thanks Deke. (Can I retire the 1 pixel brush for good now?)
Saying never to a 1-pixel brush would be like throwing away my last pair of tweezers. Sometimes, you just gotta zoom in and tweeze.
Thank you! Would there be a way to keep the hairs on the left that turned Andy Warhol as they were one stage earlier? Just skip the refining brush there?
Those left-hand hairs are not the most successful element of the composition-so far. They get much better at my Patreon, patreon.com/dekenow.
Good to see you again. I used to follow you religiously.
Good to see you as well!
Love this method! When I use the menu to add adjustment layer for Brightness/Contrast, it automatically added a mask to the layer, where yours didn't. Is that a preference I'm missing?
he wasnt useing an adjustment layer but just an adjustment.
@@negz103 I know, but when I use the menu Brightness/Contrast it is still adding a mask. That's why I asked.
Yes, there is. From the Adjustments panel, click the flyout menu hamburger and choose Add Mask by Default to turn it off.
@@dekeNow Thank you!
This way is better than "The AI Hair Masking Trick Every Pro Needs to Know?"
That’s what I get for using superlatives. 😄But seriously, they both have their uses!

Cool!
I've been watching your videos and reading masking books for about ten years. Why've I never heard of this method or known about it? Is this evidence of my unending stupidity with Photoshop?
Nope. It’s because I just made it up! 😁
@@dekeNow Smart puppy!
amezing tutorial🛺
Thx!
Just get Evoto. Takes 5 seconds.
Grandpa is talking too much, just wasting everyone’s time, this should’ve been a 6 min tutorial.
Aw, poor baby. Perhaps my Short will better appeal to your tiny attention span: th-cam.com/users/shortsNVZgdFtVeik
@@dekeNow Nah it's alright, every baby channel needs those hours of watch time.
