The NEW "Select Subject" Better Than Pen Tool?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- With the brand-new June update to Photoshop 2020, a completely new code of Select Subject just for portraits is introduced! In this tutorial, we are going to see how this automatic selection tool compares with the unbeatable Pen Tool. With the help of three simple compositing examples, we will first compare the "Select Subject" with the previous versions of Photoshop. Then, we will compare it with the Pen Tool, amongst other alternatives.
In these examples, we will also learn masking techniques for better quality edges. In the end, I'm also going to share with you a simple and straightforward masking workflow combining the power of "Select Subject" and "Select and Mask." I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

My Job can be lost because this tool 🙁
Hi bro lenovo ideapad s145 amd ryzn gud for photoshop editing pls reply 🙏
I can't believe that the content of this channel is free
That's really amazing this channel is gold
I didn’t pay any money... feels pretty free to me...
I know, right? Almost everything I've ever learned about photoshop, I learned right here on this channel!

“If you consider the time, select subject has the edge”. Well played.
Nice see you here Mr Odd !
True 😂
Hairstyle, Intro, Whole concept , Editing . Legend!!! You are masterpiece for this planet .
I’ve been watching your lessons and tutorials for many years now and every one I have seen is exceptional. Almost everything I learned, I learned from you. Thank you for everything!
This is a perfect example of why I like this channel so much. It's not just a clear tutorial, it's how it's used in the workflow. I've learned PS almost all by myself so every time I watch one of these tutorials I find new and better ways to do things that I've done for years. I've tried the "select subject" feature, was a bit disappointed because of the hair selection (in all fairness the background wasn't as contrasting as I'd have liked) but the trick with setting the blend mode to multiply worked great. Thanks a lot for this.
By coincidence I'd happened to be using the Select Subject feature to cut out a model from one of my pictures just prior to watching this video. I hadn't noticed the update mentioning the improvement and was shocked at how good I was able to get all the hair - with only the slightest of tweaking necessary. I'm telling you, it's a huge improvement.
Thanks Umesh for demonstrating the difference. One of the reasons I try to catch every new video you release. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
The real MVP is that refine edge tool: I don't know if I have been using it wrong or if my computer isn't fast enough, but previously the tool for me was near unusable.
Photoshop has gained so much value in the move to 20. I only wish they added a tool to highlight parts of mask that need neither adding or subtracting, but "rethinking". This could fix the annoying problem of automatic selection not finding anything to add or subtract, and you either need to manually select that part, or try finding that one magical selection Adobe Sensei understands.
maybe in future we will get an automatic pathfinder, that aims to make sensible selection as if it was using pen tool.
For those who ask, "but can you select on busy backgrounds?".
I mean obviously, it can't find the right subject properly when the pixels are all jumbled or nearly the same in terms of color, the selection tool works by detecting contrasting pixels. The selection tool seems to have been designed to cut off single subjects in empty backgrounds since I can't imagine how you'd be able to select let's say multiple people with different outfits & skin tones overcrowding the frame when you don't even click the subject but the tool button instead. It just automatically finds the subject for you, I think it needs to recognize where the background is first, and in order to do that the background color has to be the dominant part of the image.
It's hit and miss, but surprisingly more hits than misses in my experience, even with multiple people on a busy background. Sure, you have to perfect the mask slightly, but it usually gives you a very good starting mask.
It’s actually pretty good with noisy backgrounds or poorly defined subjects. I use it on wildlife and even crappy underwater shots where everything is blue. Sometimes refinement is needed, but it does a hell of a lot of the hard work for you.
I just recently discovered your videos. You are such a great teacher, and you might just have the most pleasing voice I’ve ever heard.
I don’t even have PS installed but I have spent many many hours on this channel. I get soo impressed by the skills and satisfied by watching this channel.
I was making an image for a quick composite that I was not going to even take the time with the pen tool. I used the updated select subject and I was absolutely amazed. I wasn't expecting the huge improvement in this updated version, in fact I thought maybe it was just my imagination. I just watched your video and I can see it wasn't just my imagination. Great job PS!
This is such a great feature so nicely explained and done Umnesh as always! Thank you.
Damn Unmesh, you are killling with the quality in these videos! Intro, timestamps, explanation, comparisons... everything so well done and refined. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Dude, Love the intro. I literally put my hands in the air, waving them like I didn't care.
3:05 - "look at that" 😍
😂
You perv 😆😆
"Hard edges"
😂
Besides the fact, how good and on point your tuts are..you keep them light and your enthusiasm just spreads..love it 😎
I love this person....
The way he describes its another level...
I liked the speedier delivery, a lot of info packed into one lesson. Keep up the good work.
You are remarkably skilled. I started the essential course to PhotoShop two weeks ago I can not believe how far I have got with this software following your video's I have had photoshop for ten years updating each time. I have only used Lightroom.
You are so aspiring.
The hook to intro to video transition was so smooth, also bought the Keep Creating long sleeve tee and I absolutely love it!
man I can't tell you how constantly blown away I am by your videos, unreal... thank you.
Liste, Man - I absolutely LOVE your channel. You keep improving everything, you are a true professional.
On a maybe too personal remark: your accent, man - it's gotten sooo much better. You rock!
I started using Photoshop decades ago and most of the videos that you make are jaw dropper. Just amazing skills, from using Photoshop to presenting your work.
EDIT: if you would like to make it even more perfect, just flip horizontally your video window, because as it is right now (example: 16:53) it seems like you are looking away (on the wall). If you flip the video window that you talk horizontally it will seem like you are watching on the work that you are doing at the moment.
(Just some tips from a cameraman/director) 😉
You're best tutor of photoshop I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You're doing great job, keep it up bro. God bless you.
The multiply tip for the hair is awesome! Thank you once again man!
I love this new feature! Use it all the time, but you've really showed me how to remove the edges on the hair which I've had issues with. Thank you! Speaking of hair... nice haircut!
2:27 When you hid the bottom masked layer I audibly gasped. That is an insane upgrade!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the new amazing intro of his channel ! It's amazing.
The thing that amazes me the most about this PiXmperfect is not how knowledgeable Unmesh is, but rather how those ear brows never cease to amaze me.
Thanks for the update. Well done covering a lot of information in a short video. Don't worry about going too fast, some of us are pretty good at using the "playback speed" tool.
The Photoshop God has spoken to us once again
I'm become designer by seeing your tutorials. Thank you very much bro. I have learnt many things from you.
Have just given this a spin and it works perfectly. Amazing. Thanks Unmesh.
Thank you so much for the lesson on the PEN tool...you made me understood way much better than any one else... 🙏
"all it takes is a simple click".....I love this guy. If I knew one tenth of what he does, I'd be dangerous..
Each video tought us more than 4 ,5 new tricks ...
The way u r teaching is great bro...
Keep it up...love u...
I really love the third example. it's a very quick way to do it...nice job bro!
You are my fav Instructor ever. My photoshop inspiration also. I learned a lot of things from your video. I was waiting for your course like everyone. But when I click your course link it's just not affordable for me. Anyway I will see all your video tutorials and I will learn, but one day I will buy your course for sure.
Please keep something on youtube also for us. You don't know how helpful is for us.
Thanks a lot for being an inspiration for strugglers like us.
legit was trying to figure this out yesterday....and behold you with the video that answers my questions!

I have a request to such a great expert like you: please review the ‘mysteriously great’ Remini app algorithms. How can a photoshopper recreate those algorithms ? Thank you in advance.
Very useful information, thank you very much!
That intro stolen my heart 😍
Super tutorial as usual !
Select subject has the edge... I see what you did there :)
Excellent tutorial - awesome tool!
What a video, I learn alot from you than other youtube videos combine, thanks Man :)

Hello Unmesh, this is Axel. I am German and live in France. I am enthusiastic about your videos and your professionalism, how you share your knowledge and, above all, how you understand it. You are doing an affordable job.Just a little thing. Remember that people like me can't speak English like an American and that we also use a Photoshop version in our language. That's not how things are called.Please speak a little more slowly, so that we foreigners can get along better and find the tools better.This shouldn't be a criticism, but a suggestion. I am definitely excited about your work and I have already learned so much from you. In that sense Keep Creating
Hi dear Umesh, Speechless... Realy I'm a great fan of you! And your style of presentation is Amazing...
Nice video broo ❤️ I loved the intro ✌️
You rock it as always! Thanks for that . Can you make a video with some of the applications for product photography ? Many thanks man
Thank you very much. I learned a lot from you. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fantastic imaginary to checker the fore and back ground to intersection
This is one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel.🙏
Loved the New into 🔥 and very informative video 🤍
Amazing video! Thank You!
Much needed tutorial 💝
Thanks for this tip. It works so well.
I would like to thank you for every single video that you made
Ohhh. I kept thinking, where do I find Lair. But you’re trying to say layer. Thx for showing us. I’m upgrading to this version today!
This is working so much better in the new version!
What a great technique man. Well done and thanks for sharing it with all of us! I will try it later
Cheers, Nelson
You are amazing.. thanks for sharing your knowledge !
I tried this workflow and it works perfectly on the iMac and I built an action for ... as I used it on my old HighSierra MacBookPro with the last PS version, Select Subject AI performed like in the past. Looks like, that you need a recent OS to get the full power of PS .
I think for mechanical or man-made objects which have a lot of perfect lines and perfect curves such as manufactured items with hard edges (appliances, hardware tools etc.) than the pen tool is probably the best to get perfect edge for masking. For everything else, especially portraits and hair, the select subject and mask is better choice as it is fastest. Thanks for a great tutorial! Good advice though, test select subject first, than decide which to use.
