As much as I love flyaway hair tutorials, I have yet to see a tutorial on any website or blog that details how to remove flyaway hair from a busy background. Many designers, albeit ones who work for companies that typically have a small in-house design team, are oftentimes given the task of removing hair from an image with a busy background. When presented with this problem I have found so far, that there is no easy way to get exceptional results. If a newsletter, blog or website would be bold enough to post something along these lines that would indeed be helpful to those who must deal with this.
Awesome. Going to save me hours. I didn’t know that the control was there. Thanks for posting.
Mask Flyaway Hair
I must say, I think ‘that’ is impressive.
It all makes sense now – thanks for explaining the masking tool so clearly. Now I’ll be able to use it to it’s full potential!
Great! As usual, he does a very clear, concise demonstration.
I’m in CS5 extended, when I get to the part where it shows how the hair expands when the radius is made larger, nothing happens on my picture. I tried changing the Quick Selection area a bit and still don’t get any change even when I max it out to 250 px. Not sure what I’m doing wrong?
