This tutorial is for this site tutorial Alliance China Tutorial NetworkSpecial Feeds

Purpose of this tutorial: keep the details of the hair as much as possible and remove the background.

The difficulty of this tutorial: the background color of this picture is gray, in the red-green-blue three-color channel contrast is not big. The details of the hair and background color closer, using the channel to pull the map when the details are easily lost.

Easy bugs for Beginners: Layers are easy to mix with layer masks, paint colors on masks, or apply a brush that defines transparency such as black and white gray to a layer.

Technical Highlights: palette, fine tuning of alpha channels, and conversion of channels and masks.

Learn what this tutorial can do: Learn some of the experience of channel digging, if all can absorb digestion, flexible use of words, use the channel to pull hair this pass even after 70%.

The observation found that the blue channel was the strongest contrast, just use it. Copy one, image-adjust-level. Color palette is a meticulous life, to slowly, to the best effect to do it. In this case, you can adjust this. The background is the brightest, the hair is clear.

With the deepening tool, pay attention to the red circle options, deepen the hair. But not much influence on the background.

For the background of the ash, we can use the Dodge tool, pay attention to the high light option. Take the background off slowly. Note that some people like to use a white brush or eraser. That would wipe out the details of the hair.

Use a white brush, note that you must first use a large brush, in the large area of the need to remove the position of the image generally smear. This efficiency is very high. Finally, with a small brush, the edge of the painting. Fine outline. In addition, in the use of large brushes must be careful not to use too soft brush, or will be painted outside, It's not good to clean up. If the brush is too soft, press the shift+ key multiple times to harden the brush.

For some of the traditional pull tools such as lasso can be quickly dug out of the place, do not deliberately use the channel to do. This will only allow for efficiency discounts. As long as the channel to reach the hard to pick out the hair part, shun with some large range of images, to achieve the purpose.

Ctrl-click the blue channel Copy, load it into the selection, go back to the layers panel and see the Ant line in the selection area. Next, we turn the selection into a mask.

Press the ALT key, double-click the layer, and turn the background layer into a normal layer so you can mask it.

As shown in number 1th, click the Mask, you can see that the image becomes transparent. Look at the layer 2nd, add a mask, see 3rd, this place, also need to use lasso tool.

Press the SHIFT key to click the layer mask, when it is deactivated, the image becomes opaque again. It's very clear. Use the Lasso tool to take the collar part with clear edges. Note that in order to pull out of the inner area, we can more sets of some, treat the interior to be generous, hehe.

Press SHIFT and click the mask again to take effect. Note that, as shown, be sure to click the Mask to make the mask in the selected state. Fill the mask with white, you can see. This part is also fully displayed.

Novice Note: One of the easiest mistakes to make is to fill the layer with white, not the mask, at this point, the image is white, and the transparency is unchanged. The way to determine whether a layer or a mask is to see whether the Display white box on the layers panel is on the left layer or on the right mask. Test click Layers and Masks , you will find that the outer white box will switch back and forth between the layer and the mask as you click.

Add a background test, gee ^ ^^ ^ hair is not as good as expected, this is what.

Choose Black, with a soft brush, lower opacity, go into layers, rub it gently in the details of the hair. You can see that with your brush, the black hair comes out a little bit. Soon enough, there was plenty of detail. Notice that everything has a degree and it's OK to rub it.

This is the final effect. If you think the hair is not obvious, you can also use the Dodge tool, in the high light mode, in the mask of the position lightly coated, the hair will be more obvious.
