There are tons of hair cutting tuts on youtube. This one has a unique approach, love this method. This also works on less convieniant backgrounds. Thnx again
works for a white background, i'd like to see what would happen to his cutout on any noticeably different color background. 1) there's light green/gray background colours in between hairs. 2) there's reflective light on the skin/shirt/hair that would look wrong.
Nice job. I like your no-nonsense approach. Thank you for the hard work put into making these tutorials. I like how you summarize at the end. You're an excellent teacher. Thanks again.
Este tío me parece genial. Estoy aprendiendo con él más que con cualquier libro, tutoríal o clase que haya visto jamás. Enhorabuena por enseñarnos con tanta claridad y profundidad los secretos de Photoshop. Sigue asi!!!! Eres genial.
I don't have Photoshop CC, I am using Photoshop Elements 15. This brush preset works in Elements but you don't have as much control as in the Photoshop CC. Thanks for creating and sharing this preset.
dear speaker, you have great communication and have delivered your instructions well. I found this information easy to absorb and will refer back to this video again to retain more information. as a beginner, I noticed you have included lots of information in this short video.
You're great Aaron...thanks a lot for these tutorials..helped me a lot... and with all practical tips it's just great! :) keep up the good work.. greetings from Croatia!
hi... really out of context query, but can you share which graphic tablet you use ?? Can you also suggested one that good for photoshop & Lightroom but not too expensive. Thanks
✠ Owww man, I´m a very very big fan of you. The way you explain resolution for issues and complicated points is really amazing. You have the gift of teaching, and always the most creative solutions. Best regards from Brazil.
Hi Aaron, I'm new to PS, so my Q may sound stupid. Are you using the Brush Tool in the tutorial, instead of the Quick Selection one, because the second is not so precise and may not always select the area, that needs to be cut, or...? Best regards!
Aaron, thx for the great lesson! But I have one question - What should we do if our object is woman? With long hairs. Cause few days ago I retouched 30 images of children in studio on white (mostly) background. And besides sking retouch I needed to cutout them from that background. And there was 5 children in different clothes (some of them was hairy), with different hairs. And it was boys and girls. I did it as usually - mask from one of the channel (blue mostly), do some contrast adjusment for this mask and many many hand adjusments, cause Refine Mask or other automate tools are...stupid. Poor results. So ok, your method is great till we have short mostly straight hairs. But if it long woman's hairs? And we have more than one image with different size of model in it. Do you have any great method for this kind of situation?
Hi Aaron, what camera do you use for your videos? The clarity and sharpness is amazing on my screen. I've seen many of your videos, but this video seems to be one of the best in quality. Thank you!
Time for the good Photoshop developers to develop a selection tool that lets you create a selection around all the hair you want selected and let Photoshop do the rest.
I can't tell what, but something went wrong here. I got it right up to the point where only the face without hair is showing. But I couldn't use the brush to make the hair show. For some reason I can only use the brush on the face, but then what I get is a hairy face, which is not ideal, at least not the pic I want to use the technique on. Can you tell me what could I have done wrong?
When you click and drag after creating the new brush it creates multiple lines like hairs, but if i click and drag it just creates a straight horizontal line. How so?
At last! At last! At last...now I have the simple answer to a less than simple problem. Thank you. Now I need your help getting rid ZebraFace...those dark shadows caused by the rims/frames of eyewear! My effort always looks waxy and totally unconvincing. Can you please do a tutorial on the best way to deal with this problem? I'll look every day :) Cheers - Kevin
A really helpful tutorial, as always... but now I want to be able to rotate my brush with the keyboard. I've been trying to find a way to do this. I tried to assign a shortcut, but there isn't an option for brush rotation in CS5 (which is what I have) so I tried recording an action, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Thanks for all your tutorials Aaron, its so handy! Just wondering, have you ever thought of doing any cool photomanipulation tutorials? Cheers from Australia!
Hey Aaron, I'm wondering if you could provide me with some tips on working large documents. I have a job request where the client is asking for a photo manipulation that has to be printed at 100 DPI but the document size needs to be 5.3m x 3.5m. So basically my laptop can't handle this. I'm not new at Photoshop so you can go all technical on me :)
Just a shame you used a relatively easy image to do this with. If the background would have been darker and you put it on a light background, it is way harder. Would have been nice to see houw you get along that.
It should be noted that this only really works if you are working with a source image that has a background colour that is similar to the one you are going to end up with. If you were going to isolate this person and then try to put, say a red background behind him, you are going to be masking areas that don't actually have hair. So you will end up with a person that has blond and white hair on a red background.
As I don't have a tablet I don't seem to be able to create a stroke that is pointed at the end. It is just rounded. Have fiddled about one hour now and am pretty pissed. Probably I'm just too stupid.
Hi Aaron, I enjoy watching your tutorials and they always help me. However, I have to make my face scary like a zombie. Do you have any tutorials on "Making your face into zombie". I'm a beginner on the photoshop. Thanks

Bloopers are always best!!!!
You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir!
works for a white background, i'd like to see what would happen to his cutout on any noticeably different color background.
1) there's light green/gray background colours in between hairs.
2) there's reflective light on the skin/shirt/hair that would look wrong.
Agree. If a dark background is used as a replacement, we're sure to see all kinds of unwanted white bits and will look terrible for sure
Nice job. I like your no-nonsense approach. Thank you for the hard work put into making these tutorials. I like how you summarize at the end.
You're an excellent teacher. Thanks again.

Great video. I also liked the tip about the adjusting the mask density. That will be a big help on my other masking projects.
I don't have Photoshop CC, I am using Photoshop Elements 15. This brush preset works in Elements but you don't have as much control as in the Photoshop CC. Thanks for creating and sharing this preset.
Thank you so much Aaron and Phlearn for every fantastic video .

Can this be done in cs6 and would the tools be the same?
Yes
thanks man really helped me alot
very useful but I wouldn't use this all the time unless the hair is very messy or spiky. Thanks for the tutorial
Time for the good Photoshop developers to develop a selection tool that lets you create a selection around all the hair you want selected and let Photoshop do the rest.
Perfect! Just what I needed!
Nice Technical, Thank You !
I learaned something new today. Today was a good day :)
What type of camera are you using to film the tutorial? It has excellent quality!
I can't tell what, but something went wrong here. I got it right up to the point where only the face without hair is showing. But I couldn't use the brush to make the hair show.

Do you think this will work with pet hair?

THIS IS GENIUS! THANKS
Thanks for all your tutorials Aaron, its so handy!
Just wondering, have you ever thought of doing any cool photomanipulation tutorials?
Cheers from Australia!
Guys! Background music please! Link to buy or something please. Thank you.
What if the original image has a dark background?
great videos
Perfect as ever, Aeron! Thank you for providing the internet with usefull content. I love following your channel. Have a nice day! :-)

Great Video..but I agree with others,should do one with a a busy or darker background. Thanks
Very useful video please make another by using brush tool how to remove Curley hair from background. Urgent and I am waiting
Thanks
hello aeron nace how to curly hair with this brush
so great, but can you show me how to match the image with the background color
Just a shame you used a relatively easy image to do this with. If the background would have been darker and you put it on a light background, it is way harder. Would have been nice to see houw you get along that.
sir can u do some thing from 3d tools
It should be noted that this only really works if you are working with a source image that has a background colour that is similar to the one you are going to end up with.

Hi Aaron, I enjoy watching your tutorials and they always help me. However, I have to make my face scary like a zombie. Do you have any tutorials on "Making your face into zombie". I'm a beginner on the photoshop. Thanks

Aaron, when are you going to get behind the camera again? You used to take amazing photos! I miss that. I have a feeling you do too.

So now, how do i cut out hair and photoshop it onto someone? Or eyes? Or mouth? Basically face parts.
Pen tool is your best frind for it.
Awesome technique Aaron, thank you, learning so much from your tutorials.
