Photoshop CS5 Tutorial: Refine Edge Tool

[bruceaisher]

This isn't bad, but the hair still has white outlines round it, so if you are putting it on a darker background they would stick out like a sore thumb. I was hoping this tutorial would solve this issue, but alas it does not.

[mysterio619o0o]

[831Sakura]

for me...it's really helpful

[SkarrianLIVE]

The problem is that around the hair there is too much white. When you place the photo on another wallpaper or something like that, it will be noticed.

[LordReserei01]

This is just a basic guide. You'd have to apply other techniques to tweak it a little.

[SkarrianLIVE]

@LordReserei01 And what can I do to remove the white? What techniques must I use?

[LordReserei01]

just off the top of my head, maybe the clone stamp tool or healing brush with a size of 1-2 pixels. It's all about experimenting and having fun in Photoshop. =)

[khieonsful]

wtf thats good

[AMIR121able]

FUCK



[subarustarz]

how can we use another background that we have instead of the black white etc backgrounds given in photoshop?

[LordReserei01]

Sorry for the delay. You could probably use the black background and mask it out. =)

[FireBallThePony]

that guy is hot!

[LordReserei01]

What ever floats your boat. XD

[HildaS1]

This was extremely helpful. I am off to practice as they say practice makes perfect.

[jojjo65]

It aint helping me, it gets white instead, Plz Help! Thanks!

[LordReserei01]

Make sure you set the view mode to "on black". =)

[jojjo65]

@LordReserei01 Ohh, Thanks!

[asderso]

@LordReserei01  that is why when clicking on ok the black background I chose disappears ?

[asderso]

after choosing "on black" when clicking on ok, the black background I chose disappears and pixels appear.

Please help how to keep the "on black" setting ?

[Bull1the1Great]

I always hated the hair in PS, this will help at some occasions for sure ...

[snake8998]

If you put this on a digital BG the hair will not look right, it has weird edging. You just show it on transparent BG so it looks ok. How can this be corrected

[G14n53g4]

@snake8998 try increasing the Feather option

[solutionsfx]

Oh my Lord that was sweet, hope you're feeling better and good luck to you and your fiancé. Peace bro.

[LordReserei01]

Thanks...don't forget to have a look at my other vids and happy holidays! =)

[LimeyBeetle]

Lub you!

[LordReserei01]

*huggles* I lub you too!

[helen2U]

[LordReserei01]

[LimeyBeetle]

@LordReserei01 you didn't put that PM offer out to me when I subscribed D:

[LordReserei01]

[mabuhaymc]

[rodda1989]

thanks brO!!!

[SIMPSONDUDE1996]

holy crap ur awsome :D

[LordReserei01]

Haha...thanks. =)

[ArrochaK]

Thank you so much!

This really helped me a lot, I really enjoyed how clear you were, straight to the point but all the details were included. Thank again =]

[LordReserei01]

Thanks, that's the main focus of all of my videos...keeping it quick, easy and straight to the point.

Life doesn't need to be a thousand mouse clicks. XD

[ArrochaK]

@LordReserei01 lol exactly! thanks again i really enjoyed it and i look forward to seeing your other videos.

[Elazul2k]

Why when people demo this feature the background is always a single color? I want to see someone do it with a complex background like 95% of the photo's that get taken in real life.

[LordReserei01]

The background, simple or complex, the method stays the same. I do it mostly (use solid colour backgrounds in photos) for the sake of free stock footage.

[PlethoruhGFX]

photoshop i found is actually very simple to operate

[YusufSoccer14]

very useful thanks

[TheDallasmty]

wow, cool but i sugest todo a totorial step by step for bigginers like my self , hahaha

[masMarko]

1:00 - 1:01 how did yo do that?

[LordReserei01]

Use the magic wand tool and hold down shift on the keyboard. =)

[masMarko]

@LordReserei01 I find my way. But thanks :D

[xxERICLYxx]

@LordReserei01 Not that, he meant that you selected like all the white, then it magically went to his collar. Like it instantly selected the person.

[strang3ra]

Very useful' !

[LordReserei01]

Thanks. =)

[ClickCliquePics]

Thank you! very clear, simple and to the point. I will be referring back to this tutorial until I get this right. Look forward to anything else you do for CS5!

[casper1967]

@ClickCliquePics i agree :) easiest one to follow so far :) simple and too the point :)

[LordReserei01]

Thanks, I try to keep all of my videos like that. I find some people do tutorials that are full of things that make it seem more time consuming or more complicated than it needs to be.

[LordReserei01]

Thanks, was glad to help and that's how I like tutorials...so keep it that way when I make them.

Also, sorry for the long time replying, not long gotten out of hospital...I try my best to reply to everyone who comments. =)

[LordReserei01]

The requirements are;

CPU: Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor

OS: WIndows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7

RAM: 1Gb

HDD: 1Gb (minimum for installation)

Resolution: 1024x768 (minimum...1280x800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card, 16-bit color, and 256MB of VRAM"

Video card: Shader model 3.0, OpenGL 2.0 (for some features)

QuickTime 7.6.2

So anything above that. lol

[bayandsl]

is kinda hard using quick selection tool even i hold down the shift key.. i always drag extended line

[darkoss992]

this is the best tool in new features

[LimeyBeetle]

O.o He's got bad hair. Almost as bad as yours when you've just woken up! *giggle*

[LordReserei01]

hehe, I did type "Crazy hair" in google. =P

[VTKlutZ]

Dam! When i saw you put it onto a black background i was thinking, why the heck is he doing that way it seems more difficult to do it that way, but when i saw the output- AMAZING, im getting my suite in the mail today cant wait till tommorow gonna stay up late and just photoshop with it, oooh so awesome!

[LordReserei01]

It's definitely worth the money, there's more tutorials coming along about new technologies and features in CS5 coming soon. =)

[lockyear]
