  • just curious here... lez say you have a photo with 2 people in it. You want to clip 1 of them out as you have in this video but theres a problem. the person you want to keep is partially covered by the other so when you clip him out he's missing an arm. would any of these tools help fill back in something that big thats missing like you did with the refine edge?

  • @kilrinstinct That's something you'd have to do either RIGHT before or after you've finished cutting the person out. You'd want to try to recreate the missing part of the person's arm using tools like the Clone Tool, Patch Tool, or maybe even the Healing Tool. It'd be tricky, but it's doable.

  • too much trolling by the video maker thumbs down from me bye not watching trolls talking shit.

  • @GigglingGirI LOL thanks <3

  • I have a Tiny Problem plz Help!!...When i alt+click the eye icon like you do in 15:23 and it removes the backround 1st i cannot see the line you say which line im able to see when the backround is ON and 2nd When i try to use my brush tool to erase the line which i cant see so i just try to erase it randomly and when i do that the only thing that My brush tool is doing is that it is Re-showing the previous backround of the photo instead of erasing the line...PLZ HELP

  • @MrNousmeister1 That's normal for it to be harder to see once the background is turned off. It's a really thin line, so having a background behind it makes it easier to see =) and when you're trying to get rid of that line, make sure that your Foreground Color is set to black. The reason your brush is bringing the background back is because your Foreground Color is still white =)
