This worked brilliantly for me a while ago but for some reason I can't get past 5:30 anymore :(
after I apply image and invert, I select brush on multiply and paint using white but nothing happens yet history shows me using the brush. If I do it in black it paints over everything but white does nothing.
Don't know if it makes a difference but I'm using a dup of the red channel.
@chaoticshdwmonk From 04:50, change your paint mode to Overlay instead of Multiply, and you'll be all set. I used Multiply at the start to make all of the grey stuff darker, but once that step is done, I used the brush tool for detail work, and wanted to increase contrast--that's the overlay mode.
@donovanshanegreen To drop a new layer in beneath the currently selected layer, you press the ctrl key on your keyboard (Command key on Mac) and click on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.
The New Layer icon looks like a square notepad with one corner folded back. In this video, you can see the New Layer icon--it's in the lower right corner of the screen, second icon from the right in the bottom of the layers panel (next to the trash bin icon).
Dude, it took you 10 minutes to get to a point that you could have gotten to with the 'magic wand' in about 1 second.
I thought this was going to be a tutorial on how to remove backgrounds CLEAN, where you don't have to go in and manually clean it up. Sorry, but this video is a waste of time.
Okay fine.. i heard the part where u said CS5 might make some of these moves unnecessary... i have CS5 and found an easier method. So i guess it was my bad on the PS version. Good tutorial, you're just trying to help people.
@Stormingleech thanks.. i think this tutorial is very good for removing the background of the hairs etc.. its always to learn somethings new and different. this is very useful thx
@JesusIsKindaGay dude, this video shows you how to do just that, if you follow all his steps and have a decent quality jpg image you can do what you want with it.
@Stormingleech LOL, I'm really dumb... But I have another problem, when I add a layer mask, the colours of my image becomes different instead of retaining the original colours like yours. Some part of it also dissapers. What should I do? My background comprises of different colours, could that be the reason?
@BankaiHalo Hmm, hard to say for sure without seeing it, but there's a few things that could be happening to you. When you manipulate your channels, make sure that you are working on a duplicate copy of each channel--otherwise, the changes you make will affect the colors in the image.. Also, if you are getting a red overlay, make sure that the RGB (or CMYK) channels are selected, and not the duplicate channels. Photoshop does funny things visually when extra channels are selected.
@bluemark0001 Take not of this HardWork Beats Talent if you want to learn this Piece of Cake you better dedicate your self and your time works need quality thats how we live
i have a question, if i like this result of what i did with a channel where it's just black and white, is there a way to save that image as a jpg just like that? because when i tried it would just save it as the original colour image.

How did you change the layer to 50% gray?
BankaiHalo 8 months ago
@BankaiHalo To make a layer 50% gray, you can go to Edit > Fill. There's an option for 50% gray in the drop-down menu of the Fill dialogue box.
