Futuristic tool instantly cuts out hair in photoshop + clean edges 

I have many more on this channel, check them out

I try :)

Thanks

Same steps, just spend a little more time with selection and cleanup brushes. I have other tuts here on difficult selections.

yay!

Match color is very useful for that

Select hair option was only added in the past few months and I thought the slider was new in the last update? Maybe I just never noticed it before lol

@@photoshopcafe Decontaminate sliders been there for a fairly long time. Adobe techs are trying to tweak how select and mask works. Actually I don't like select and mask but prefer to use channels to get a much cleaner selection.

The select subject was added 2019, refine hair late 2020 (Adobe Mac release of Ps 2021) the slider for decontaminate added this year)

I usually make the brush a little smaller than the area I’m fixing.

@@photoshopcafe Thanks for responding. I was referring to the Hardness and Spacing of the Refine Edge Brush Tool. I can't find any reference to this anywhere online so I thought I'd ask you.

@@RosaPerry I just use the default settings

Do you have the latest version? Its a new "ish" feature

All Sony cameras do that I believe, it happened on the A7S and the A7s3, but because I use the eyepiece, it doesn't bother me.

A smart filter is the next for this. Also try using blur gallery

You could try, but I have found it doesn’t work well with animals, because the AI only applies it to the head. Running the refine brush around the edges produces exactly the same result.

I have lots of tuts with complex backgrounds (have a look here on my channel), I make both basic and advanced tut, this is one of the basic ones, so people can focus on the tools they need to use.

Yes it has, but the slider is new

@@photoshopcafe Thank you for the correction!!!!

That why most of the youtubers shows it, with an easy background bro.😂

I have other tutorials with difficult backgrounds on this Channel, they aren’t hard, but they make for a longer tutorial. I wanted to make this one a very short simple one.

@@TarunLakhera True true :P the transceivers I bought second hand have arrived today already! They have two settings and seem to be only working on S2 for now so I hope that will work and I can make the background white.

@@photoshopcafe Hi, Colin. My photo is probably too bad for it, but I have the transceivers now and see if I can make them soft enough to work with 15Watt LED or just go all in with 2 flashguns. I just hope I can recreate that pose on my models. Right now I'm just selecting piece by piece and go with the color picker until either too much is gone or just too little, lol. And she has a tule dress with hundreds of holes!

@@sirfrancisarthur I often shoot with a gray backdrop for those types of shots.

Thanks made my day

How do you still have a working computer that can run that?

@@photoshopcafe Win10, I have the full Master Collection, sold to me by Adobe one week before CC was announced, so call me bitter, but not upgrading anytime soon LOL

Its only going to get better

Sweet! Which one are you buying me?

I also have more advanced ones ones on very difficult images on this channel. On those people complain that the vids are too long, on the short ones, they say it's too easy. Welcome to RU-vid :)

@@photoshopcafe With all do respect, you have been on RU-vid long enough to know that people don't mind lenght or difficulty of the video, they mind the grandiose , attention seeking headlines that misrepresent the content of the video itself. "Futuristic tool instantly cuts out hair in photoshop + cleans the edges" sounds like infallible magic like tool. In point of fact it is not. It works some of the time. If you named the video in a way that reflect the topic and tool more accurately, it would be hard to complain. But click baits, devalue credibility of the RU-vidr. I've seen your work many many years ago, you are not new to the game, so why fall down the level of click baits? I don't get it. Don't you have higher standards?

@@KrunoslavStifter 2 words: RU-vid Algorithm. If you look at my videos, you will see I'm not in the habit of sensational headlines. Also if you see there are almost 700 likes and only 11 dislikes, not everyone is feeling the same way you are. You are under the impression that you can do a plain simple headline and because it's quality, it will be watched? Not anymore sadly. I put a lot of work into my content and I want it to be watched. I don't hype up my content or mislead people. These tools are based on Adobe Sensei which is AI. Thats not futuristic?

@@photoshopcafe RU-vid algorithm is a fair point, although many RU-vid have run with it, so I would argue its a combine effort to arrive at the present state of RU-vid. I suppose at that point it becomes a personal choice. Does one rely on RU-vid algorithm for revenue or does not produce work for believing in integrity of it. I can see case being made for both approaches and fair amount of compromise in-between. "I don't hype up my content or mislead people." If that is what you say. To me it does not seem like it. I don't know your real intentions behind the tile of the video, as far as I know you may indeed have no desire to mislead people, I cannot comment in your intentions with certainty. But what I can comment on with fair amount of certainty is that fact that title does not match the capabilities of the tool unless presented in a controlled demo example. You say you put a lot of work in your content. That may be so, but considering the hype of the title, I would argue that you could either try to live up to the claims in the tile, by putting the tool trough its paces, or choose another tile that reflects the fairly basic video that feels pretty mundane its presentation. That being said, I understand if you want to appeal to the wider audience and want your videos to be watched by large audiences. I also understand your methods of trying to achieve, it, however on the moral grounds I cannot agree with the methods. This is probably where you and I differ. I put a lot of effort in my videos as well, but I don't use titles that I think will draw attention, I use descriptive tiles that try to honor the content of the video. I get to keep my integrity at the expense of small view count. You get to play by RU-vid rules as you claims and get rewarded by higher view count. I suppose we all have to chose our priorities. Fair enough? P.S. I think RU-vid was far better in the quality of content when professional RU-vidr was not a career choice but accident. Once it became a career for people, by and large quality went down because everyone is computing for view counts , subscribers, likes and to appease the almighty algorithm and whims of Susan. But it is what it is. I've been around since about the time you started on RU-vid and on the forums so I've seen your work many moons ago. If you don't mind, I feel that probably you have reached a point where you got too comfortable or not ambitious enough, but I feel your work has not improved very much for several years. If this exchange ends up doing anything I hope it makes you curious for new things and your add more your teaching and editing. Comfort zone is a comfortable place, but not much grows there. Anyway, all that being said., I wish you success with your channel and I hope you take something of the things I mentioned under consideration. Cheers!

@@KrunoslavStifter thanks for your opinions. As I said, I make different types of videos to widen my audience, I don’t make my living from RU-vid. As fir my work not progressing, that’s a snap judgment. I’ve recently had my work featured in New York Times and my drone photography awarded from Time Magazine. I didn’t even do photography back in the forum days. Lol but it’s all good.

As in the last year, to me thats new (The refine hair and slider on the decontaminate), I've been using Photoshop 25 years. These will also be new to a lot of other people.

@@photoshopcafe Ok. When it comes to getting the hair perfect, you'll always have to do things manually. They will never make that refine perfect. But it's gotten way better over the years. I always end up switching the brush to overlay and painting with black to remove the white.

@@MuzikkZone Truth, its not perfect.
