The hair masking tutorials are very helpful thank you very much. However, what do we do if the hair is matching the background color? I tried the channels technique but no use. Can you do an example? brunette with wooden door as background is the img i have. I cannot seperate her hair at all.
Ur hair cutting tutorials are useful. I need to know how to cut a flying hair of girl with dark background. Will u pl help me?
Qual o nome da cancão?
Useful and splendid tutorial.
Maybe it's just me but as a noobie to Photoshop CS4 this video simply moves way too quickly. Thanks for your effort though. Maybe in a nother life time, I'll be able to move that fast.
This is awesome! I got the basic to it but my model has more "complicated hair strands" ! My many thanks!
Anonymous, you can try pausing the video. then resume or repeat again to get it right.
Dude, I can't get your method to work with brunettes, do you have any tips?
looks helpful to me. i'll have some pausing to do tho...i might play it a couple extra times just to listen to the song. good choice!thanks
