    Not just great techniques here, but the really thoughtful gift of a one vid all situations, something I have been hoping for for years, having watched all kinds of (great) tutorials but finding it real hard to remember how to deal with any specific situation. Except the simplest maybe. Love it. Thank you so much.

    You are literally the best thing on youtube for photoshop. Unfortunately, I am staggeringly lacking in Ps skills. Ive been scanning around how to save the image back into lightroom without the fill layer and just the masking i was able to achieve. Ive tried a dozen other videos and they all assume you know how to finish file saving part . Just want to maintain the background and the hair removal i got from using Object selection tool. Sounds simple enough, however I am a step by step person with bad ADD.
