Description
Download for the full-sized tutorial.Sorry for the huge size of this tutorial, but it's a great technique and needs the detail so you'll be able to do it well.
The stock I used is here: [link] by
So there's no excuse to not try this. It may take a few tries before you get the hang of this. It certainly took me a while to get the technique right.
I've included two different versions of Step 16. The first version is for when you want to create a new background in the original image. The second version is when you already have a background and want to move the model into this second picture.
As always, feedback is appreciated, and if you like it enough to fave it, please leave a comment! And if you use this technique in one of your deviations, let me know, I'd love to see how others use it!

Oh my goodness.. I was looking into spending the next 3 hours extracting hair until I found this.. it worked amazingly!
You're amazing. Thanks so much. I'll definitely be using this more in the future. If you do this for the body of a model or an animal, it makes for an amazing cutting job..
Thanks again!

I haven't got the tutorial for the variation up.
But it's along the same lines as this. However, when you are getting the mask made, go into the channels palette and find the channel that has the most contrast between the subject and the background. Then duplicate that channel and make the mask from that. Then you can go into "Load Selection" and load the duplicated channel as a mask.
