How I use INVERSE Channel Masking for Perfect Selections (Part 2)

In this tutorial, you will learn how to effectively use Inverted Channel Masking to create selections that allow for near "impossible" selections (such as black fabric photographed against a black background).
Additionally, you will learn how to refine the edges of your selection in a way that doesn't harm the integrity of the mask or selection.
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not have Lightroom, you can use Adobe Camera Raw as an alternative and make a second copy of the image which you push and pull to create the most contrast from the background. I don't say this in the video, but it's something that I did prior to having the Ai Denoise option in Lightroom!!
If you have any questions, please leave a comment!! There is a lot of information in this one, and I am excited to help you learn!!
