    While some people are a little bit more mean-spirited about the point it did take you 2 min. 43 seconds to explain crude selection. I think it's fantastic that you're trying to help other people understand Photoshop, remember we came to you for help so don't let jerks especially ones on the Internet dictate anything.

    Thank you so much for this video. It has been very helpful. But can you explain how to extract the hoofs back in the photo. Sorry, I'm a beginner. Also I am surprised at all the negative comments that people put on these free tutorials. Folks, you are getting this info for free. Be thankful. If you don't like it or you think you can do better, then just move on to another video. Thank you, Mike Schultz. I will continue to learn from your tutorials.

    Thank you, I did learn from your video, I use Elements, which does have the same tools that your using here. Extraction is very time consuming and you taught me another way of doing it. On another note, I am so sorry for all the posters here that decided to be so nasty instead of realizing that you did this video to help us.

    One of the most useful videos I've seen so far on the subject of "fine selections"....it would have been even more amazing if you completed the selection and showed the bit about the hooves of the horse...but hey....the most important part, that of the fine hair, worked amazingly....thanks a ton....!!!

    You did help me with one aspect of Refine Edge and I appreciate that. However, I think you should continue with the detailing of the hair in your next video, showing how Refine Edge and bring out all the hair details. You need the rest of that horse's tail to look finished.

  • @jamiedrawing
    @jamiedrawing 11 лет назад

    It's a shame that while people don't have time to watch the parts of your video that might help out those that do not know as much, these people DO have time to get on here and complain about it. And while I'm also confident that the tutorial videos these trolls make themselves are shining examples of verbal perfection which allow them the moral latitude to criticize your "uh's", I know that if I were making a video for public consumption I would be a stuttering mess. Thanks Mike for the vid!

  • @darazsidomar
    @darazsidomar 7 лет назад +1

    There's some problem with me... i can tell "that" on the green background too... so why not using "decontaminate color" option? I guess manual radius would produce a bit better result in this case.

    Quit talking so much. When you speak focus on describing what you're doing. You skip through a lot at the end where you should be explaining more in-depth the steps and forget all of the meaningless stuff at the beginning. Very informative and great quality!

  • @LadyDynamitez
    @LadyDynamitez 12 лет назад

    I think this video is mainly made for REAL beginners, who don't know ANYTHING, so this talking would help them a lot. I use this tool very often but instead of deleting the background I use layer mask. If the selecting goes wrong, it's much easier with layer mask.

    Instead of duplicating your layer at the beginning, inverting your selection, and then deleting everything, you can create your selection (without duplicating the original layer), refine in, then hit command+J, and it will copy and paste what you selected onto a new layer.
    There's also a masking option at the bottom of the refine selection dialog box that will automatically create a duplicated layer with a mask of your selection.

    5:36 before clicking you should check "Decontaminate Colors" thats a great option there and indeed, it will get you rid of all the noise and the colors at the background.. as he said.. you will again have to play with the settings at ^:30 .. no need.. just check that and play with amount till it suits your image and is of your taste... Great Tut!

  • @TheLastSkYHawK
    @TheLastSkYHawK 12 лет назад

    i recommended the background eraser tool,
    it's much better cleaning tool and when u using it don't forget the selecting "Sampling: Backround swatch" use your foreground colour as a colour u want to keep, and use your background colour as u want to clean. This will give you a much more details then masking the hole image. It needs much more time then this refine edge but the result will be perfect...

    @ChunkyChest 11 лет назад

    I think using channels coupled with refine edge is much more effective. Also I never delete a background (unless in final stage). Its much safer to set the selection to a mask.

    You did cover a lot of the basic steps in cropping out the horse, but one major thing you should consider is using masks, they make it so that your crop is no going to cause permanent deletion, and can easily be adjusted without needing the back up. :)
