Hi!! I actually learned from a different tutorial somewhere on here but for some reason I can’t find it anymore :/ I need to start tagging things better.

Anyways, I’ll just make a new one for you anon ~ *enters tutorial mode*

We’ll be learning to do what you asked about, which is how to make clean cut outs/selections/pngs/renders of different images (like the one below ~). Imo, this is one of the best ways to make clean cut outs that preserve detail. This can get a bit confusing if you’re not used to using these tools (channels, calculations, etc.) but I’ll try to make it simple.

Alright, let’s start ~

Super easy lil trick for removing backgrounds without completely compromising hair integrity (gonna use my favourite baby in the world to explain this because he has the perfect hair for it).

1. Using your weapon of choice (I use the polygonal lasso tool), select the shape of the model’s hair and then click the “Refine Edge” button (highlighted towards the top in the example).

2. Under View Mode, change View to Black & White; under Edge Detection, select Smart Radius and set the Radius to 1.0. LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE AT 0 (my Shift Edge got rebellious for the screenshot, but really, leave it at 0).

3. Now WITHOUT HITTING OKAY AND WITH THE REFINE EDGE WINDOW STILL OPEN, take your cursor (should be a circle with a plus in the middle) and drag it along the very edge of the black silhouette where the hair is. You should start to see it peeking through in a very defined manner if you’re doing it correctly. Once you’re finished selecting all the hair, hit OK.

4. What Refine Edge does is it seeks to separate the contrasting colours (the off-white backdrop from his dark hair). It will select as much of the background as possible so you can more easily get rid of it.

5. Hit delete. And bam! Instead of an awkward flat edge, you have pretty, mostly intact curls. But because this method is not without its flaws, some parts of the hair can look crispy or it can remove too much in spots. We can fix that…

6. by taking the Smudge tool, setting it to between 1-3 pixels (depending on strand width) with a strength of around 85, and slowly dragging from his hair to create new curls and fill in the bald spots.

I hope that helps!

SILHOUETTE PSD BY COMPLETERESOURCES ; This PSD was made using Teen Wolf scenes but I’m sure it will work on other shows/movies. You’re going to have to adjust the color balance layer and possibly even add another layer because some scenes are very blue and will throw off the new color you’re trying to put on top of it. The PSD contains layers to change the background to each of the following colors: blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple. To use the warm colors, you’ll have to adjust the layers more. If you have any questions, message me here. Please like/reblog if you download! Thank you and enjoy! DL.

I am very excited to release two new pencils this week for the Photoshop Megapack. They will be added tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov. 17th). All customers who already own the Megapack will receive these brushes at no extra charge. They are truly excellent for sketching or for finished line art and have a natural feel that is unmatched. I have been working on them for about a month now, and they are finally perfect!
