Aug 14, 2011 - That's cool. But what happens when you don't have a white background like that. I mean... Most of the photos you take can be with more dark backgrounds than that...

Jun 10, 2011 - The 3rd selection type using channels can be made easier using levels to adjust the channel before making a selection. This will allow you to use less manual adjusting in quick mask mode. Also, feathering the selection by 0.2 would help.

Oct 28, 2010 - I haven't tried the other methods out thoroughly yet but from what I've tried on the last step, it doesn't seem to work when there's not very much contrast between the hair and the background color.
