When you change the overlay to multiply, it changes the color.. anyway to keep the shadows/reflections, but keep the same exact color you chose?

Is it possible if background main kuch aur ho I mean ki background main trees ho ya kuch aur ho

[@mutiaraf7120]

Hey thanks for the video, is it easier and better to use white or green as backdrop for changing color later in Photoshop?

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

I don't know the exact color that works best. Whatever color which is opposite of the subject works best. I think white is safest. Green backdrops may cast a green color on the subject, then you will have to do additional color correction.

[@pafredricks]

I use gray and it works great. Definitely not green because of the color cast like mentioned above.

[@cfr1205]

[@Zubariafarooq-ix3is]

Select subject option not available what to do sir

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

You can manually select is using the Quick Selection Tool.

[@Afifmedia]

How do we do this in batch?

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

You can run actions. I have a tutorial on that.

[@JayVlogz512]

I'm not getting that same effect, ESPECIALLY with females hair how do I fix that

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Depending on the type of hair and background type it may be hard for it to select. There is an advance tutorial on how to select hair.

[@gameofvelets6421]

Inverse is gray for me

[@toyaewell5015]

Thank you for this!! Short and sweet!! All the other videos were 8-15 minutes with the same results.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Yes, we don't like the long videos haha

[@hamzoooplays]

I’ve tried applying this technique on background colors other than white. Unfortunately it doesn’t work out the same. Any tips?

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Is the background color too similar to the subject?

[@ladygoji7754]

I don't see Subject when I click select.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

You need to update your photoshop to see that option. You will have to select the subject manually using the Quick Selection Tool.

[@TheFujiwuji]

Doesn't work. When I click on the Background Layer and go to the "Select" menu, it is impossible to select "Inverse" as show in this video. When I click on "Select", the Inverse button is ghosted, and cannot be selected. So apparently this method does not work to change the background color.
Actually, I don't even need to cut out the subject-- which is part of this tutorial. I just have an invisible background (grey checkerboard) and need to create a white background to my subject. But it doesn't seem possible.

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Duplicate the subject layer. Add a New. Use the paint bucket tool and fill the layer to any color. In the layer panel, move this layer below the duplicate layer.

[@alexpierce7310]

It doesn’t give me the option to select subject it’s just ghosted it

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Do you have the layer selected?

[@julielipaakaweinhouse8143]

Wish I had watched this before I watched the 8-10 videos that took eight to twenty-two minutes to explain this same process. Some people are simply better teachers than others. Thank you!!

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Welcome, that's my main reason for making this channel. Fast and easy!

[@Zenia_]

My select option was blocked

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Make sure you have the correct layer selected first.

[@rkentertainment9274]

Simple way but not perfect👍

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Thanks

[@ifechukwu7379]

Most people should learn from this. Just shut up and go straight to the point

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Yes :D

[@cocorise9797]

These type of videos are horrible, the music is a distraction and you can't see what your clicking on

[@Ac3mxl]

What are you going on about

[@jaydenmaldonado2257]

I bet you’re real fun at parties

[@donaldkey9074]

Thank you, so much easier than the PS tutorial that made no sense

[@photoshoptutorialsbylayerl1447]

Welcome Donald, I am glad it was easy and made sense!
