Hi - nice tutorial. I have used this method myself and it works well when the model is on a plain or consistent background - not quite the easy solution when the model is against a complex background. Also, it's not so easy to remove flyways from the models face especially when there are a lot of hairs from an outside shoot. Would be interested to see how you would approach this situation. :)

Hi!! Good to know the method works for you! It's the quickest hack that I figured out. It does have the limitation that it works for a plain or consistent background. For complex background, I would try using smaller selection instead of a big area as shown in the tutorial. When there are a lot of flyaway hair on the face, I usually go for the old school method, remove them by using frequency separation and patch tool, strand by strand on the high frequency layer. It takes time but it can be done.

Hi! Is there a way to temporarily see the base image through the dimmed new “patch” layer when adding back the parts of base image?

[@liliamanda]

Hi! If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to see the original photo right? You can lower the opacity of the "new patch" layer, for example 50%, then you will be able to see the original photo and make adjustment according to your liking.
