Follow my steps to get a great mask and you won't go far wrong. Essentially, we use Adobe Photoshop CC to select and mask hair along with some other sneaky little tricks to get the mask of the hair just right. You can fine-tune as much or as little as needed.

Thanks Jess! I've been looking for a better way to mask dog hair other than manually brushing a mask and using my custom hair brush for masking! This will knock off a lot of time in doing this!

Thanks Darren!

You're so welcome 🙏 Great to hear you found the video so helpful 👌
Thanks for explaining the best practices for the sliders. That had been frustrating me for a while now.

Tx jess this is what i asked for !
I’ ve learned al lot from Your video’s .

Wahoo! Happy to help 🙂
Another fab video Jess! Going to be trying this method out at some point soon! x
Good luck!
Thank you! @@ThatPhotographySpot
I really enjoyed the part where you further refined the mask using the brush / overlay! Great tutorial.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Great ! I love it ❤
Thank you! 😄
I have a vizsla (in my profile) and was very happy when you mentioned the breed😂 and yes it is incredibly easy to mask vizslas, or just shorthaired dogs on general so I never really watched this video. However, now that I have, it will cut out a huge chunk of my masking process since ive been manually masking all over the dog so just using a brush. I'll try the select subject trick tomorrow. Thank you for all your helpful videos🥰❤
Glad it was helpful for you!
What aperture do you use usually for your dog portraits. Love your videos! ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️ I love you channel
You are so welcome! Hope it was useful for you!
Fantastic. Method worked great on my very hairy Yorkshire Terrier
Awesome!!
Really well presented
Thank you very much 🥳
EXCELLENT. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Thanks Jess Awesoe video and I go back and refer from time to time. Lost me at 11:30 though with the bit about "splitting off the layer into two sections". Is this in another video or have I missed something? I've done a few long haired German Shepherds and masking is a nightmare. Cheers
I'll definitely give this a go next time - looks tedious will wait for a day when I'm feeling patient 🙈
Honestly, you need to concentrate, but it's not so bad!
Thank you so much! I must have a setting wrong because when I do this my edges are all blurry. Any advice?
Thank you for sharing this tutorial - it is a great update to some other outstanding videos on the subject of hair masking - they are done with older versions of PS, but the techniques work. If you are interested in checking those out, please let me know. Anyway - my question for you is - what do you mean by "movable color" layer?
Check out this video, it should help! ruclips.net/video/GroGrt1QHNo/видео.html
@@ThatPhotographySpot I appreciate the extra reference and quick response!
Great
👌🏼
Thanks Thanks Thanks ..... Mam ..... Almighty bless you
Most welcome 😊
God inspires you to do such tutorials
Got the mask done reasonably well but I want to put the masked dogs onto a totally new background file and not sure how to do that. At present saving it as a png file. Is there another way?
It's the best video
Thank you so much 🙏
Love it thanks for this one. I was trying it no long ago and nearly lost the will to live 😂
Just break it down, take your time and try not to get frustrated. If it's not working for one image, set that one to a side and try a different image. Sometimes it just doesn't work great with Pippi on a warm background (orange and orange) or Alf on a dark background (black and black) but practice makes perfect.
I should've been a bit more careful on this video - it was messy mask but hopefully the principles were clear!
You clearly just a very pretty face excellent photography skills a 2nd to none as he’s your editing
Thank you 😊
I would like to know to to mask the fur on white dog (samoyed) with bright backround like the sky, it is almost impossible, because there is no contrast and photoshop doesn't recognize it as something separate :( I have been trying for really long time without success, do you have a tip maybe? Thank you for all your tutorials
This is such a tough one 😣 it depends on just how similar the two are, the sky and the Samoyed coat. You could add a high contrast layer over the top of the background layer, such as a very harsh levels adjustment to try to separate the two out, or use a colour layer to maximise any difference in colours/tones (probably cyans in the sky and yellows in the coat?), and then mask off of a “substitute layer” that you could make from that adjustment choice, then delete the adjustment/contrast-making layer when you’re finished masking, and save the mask onto a different layer? That’s potentially an option to try 🤷♀️
Reallly good video!! :-)
But can I ask you something? I have photoshop 2020, but in it I don't have this tool, brush with a hadn in. So, can I ask if there's another way to do that? Or if i must just do some "clicks" and I will have it here?
Thank you. :-)
Greetings from the Czech Republic.
Hey there! You have to be in the "Select and Mask" dialogue window to see the tools on the left hand side. If you go to Select -> Select and Mask in the menu at the top, you should see the tool on the left of the window that pops up?
@@ThatPhotographySpot ohhhh, now i see that! Thank you so so so much. :D
Anytime!
Hello, I've watched this video over and over, the part that is meant to be fine tuning it but it's just adding more white to it, I've got the brush on Overlay, opacity is low, the dog is all white, screen is back, everything is the same basically but it's not fine tuning the image for me at all. Just wondering if you may know what is causing this and if there is something I maybe doing wrong 😅
hi may i know what kind of lens you use to shoot this photo?
👌⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🐾
🥳
I have to mask 3 adult Huskies and 6 puppies and put them in a sled setting (the things I promise people!) so I hope this works for me. The photos were taken on the beach and was total chaos. I’ll let you know.
I can only imagine the chaos!
My gawd, I been doing this for wedding dresses and all that... but on dog fur my photoshop just explodes. Memory usage at 47% and ram at 31%. Is this tool bugged? Or do dogs really kill it?
It also didn't function well when I tried it...
When I used another picture of my dog it worked. Couldnt find out why.
@@shiramischmid7572 It ended up getting fixed for me this last update, so be sure to update your ps. It's one of those tools they seem to still be working on a lot which means they break it in some updates 🙄
Im copying all the steps and when i try to refine the hair it just takes away more edges from the dog. I dont understand T_T
i have the same problem, have you figured it out?
Is there a way to mask like this in Lightroom??? or only photoshop?
No, but you can brush/erase through the adjustments in Lightroom!
I hope my new computer has can handle this tool.
fingers crossed for you 🤞
Am I the only one who doesn’t have subject when they click on select?
What version of PS are you running 🧐
The synonymous italian ganguly level because shelf microregionally pine off a plant tom-tom. nostalgic, berserk anger
The vivacious language experimentally handle because step-sister intradurally interrupt unlike a equable second. spotted, gigantic crayon
So much talk ....
The sad part of this is that you take someone else's knowledge from the internet, at absolutely no cost to yourself, and yet still have something negative to say. Sad times in society. Have a great day! 😊
