Thanks…nice video…
VERY helpful! Had to watch through a few other (longer) tutorials til I found this one though … I guess good stuff is buried deep
TY, dear Brodie, I like your voice tone, kind of classy.
I cant find the extract tool I have looked in image adjustments and still cant find it
Nice-simple easy to follow. ££
Thanks for explaining the extraction method, which you made easy to follow – thanks again.
Please update this video for CS 6. thank You
how do I get my other image (background image) as a new layer? Please help me…I'm a noob.
thank you !!!!!!! your awesome!!
Try extracting them the old school way using channels technique. I posted a video about this "Photoshop Tutorial: Extracting a Model & Hair Prior to CS5 "
Great vide, I'm new to photo shop so can you or any one else tell me how to get this, what you need, and how much thanks!!!!!!!!!!
thx u bro' you make my day easier!!!!
Try some searches on google for using the pen tool for extractions and also masking. There's no easy way unfortunately.
Well why would you make it difficult for yourself and shoot someone standing in the woods if you needed to extract them?
I can understand if you didn't realise until later that you need to extract them, in which case these systematic approaches to extracting a subject don't work for complex situations like that. You need to use the tools and techniques taught in this tutorial as much as you can but you going to need to perform manual operations at some point
Awesome job! You took the intimidation out of using CS5 for me. Thank you so much. I will use your other tutorials as well. Keep up the good work.
hey drivelinebrodie,
plz i got some problems here,
i did all these steps, but when i use Brush tool on the objecto of the pic, it becomes more dark around the object, and bad results .
plz help me sirrrr,
tnx in advance sir,
just use picnik.. oh wait ..
Id still use the exact same techniques.
Another popular method to obtain your mask of your subject, is using the pen tool. Use it to go around the edges of your subject. Look in my videos for another tutorial on extracting people in CS4. theres some extra tricks in there.
EXACLY, what i wanted !
how do you made that at 1:10?pls tell me…i don't understant because i'm from Romania 🙁
I have a problem, and need help! When I do this, the hair of the person becomes transparent. What can I do to avoid this? Can you make another short video with this problem?
Thx!
