Now let's say we need to select that cool boy in here along with his cool hair as well. So let's start first by going to select subject starting first by subject as its most of the cases don't amazing war for us, and we already have a very nice selection to start with. Now we can move to a new selection tools to get more selection options in our control bar. And let's start refining our selection clicking select a mask, zooming in a bit. So let's maybe use pasty for our background so you can see what we are adding or missing to our selection. So let's scroll down here we are missing the post Quick Selection Tool I'm going to add the port or selection removing area maybe using brush tool as well.

Praising precise and pressing Alt or Option key to remove the port from our selection. Switching to our brush right click is important incontinence oops. And moving up port as well by mistake. Of course also can be smoothing or selection a bit. That's not a bit I also see a bit, sometimes too much. And switching to refine edge to see what we can get with that one here.

Maybe not gonna go in details this issue For now, let's see what we can get up to this chisel zoom in trying to move supports that one as well holding the alt option key to move these areas in here however enough was in his shoes and moving to his hair, which is really important in most images and could be how this bar to select and he is considered as soft edge. Unlike sharp edges like the bottom of his shirt for instance, it will define having high contrast while hair might be including too many details like loose white lines here. However, let's increase or personalize a bit and go over the sports in finding h for them. Same as winning here. Also let's try edge detection reducing radius or increasing radius in our case. And let's shift h back to inside.

And actually I'm quite happy with that. I'm not going to be covering all his shared details for now. I'm mainly here for him in that lesson. So I'm going to be pressing OK. Now can be masking that and as you can see noise we are getting transparent areas in here. So let me add a background layer below that one so you can see what's going on. Let's maybe fill it with a different color, maybe magenta, and let's fill it pressing auto ocean, and backspace.

And let's zoom in to hair area. So here we have some transparent areas within his hair, who can be selecting or image since we have a soft edge was in our selection, and that's due to refine posh tool, which is creating further selections. So we are getting a bit of transparency you can be fixing that using dodge and burn tools. We're gonna be talking about these tools in detail. However mainly they are used to darken areas or brighten them, and you can find them in here in your toolbar. We can be starting with Burn Tool.

Each of these tools have three ranges, either mid tones, shadows, or highlights. And those basically are bright areas within your image or regular lighted areas within your images or shadows will be door colors and areas within your image. So let's start to shelves. Since we have a dog here, in that case, exposure set to full and can start painting over he's here to get it door once again. And if you feel it's too strong, you can always undo that and try less exposure maybe 60% first and see how it goes. Maybe that's better.

However, you can go all over his hair to compensate for that change in color and also in support. In here we have some transparent areas as well. Now let's also add a bit of darkness is here too much color and we can switch to highlights to darken these void areas here as well. Maybe cranking of exposure to get rid of all these white areas within his hair, and also make sure you are covering edges as well. Since you will be always getting Zeus halos or outer blue around these hair. Not only here it's always around the entire selection sometimes.

Not only here, it's always the Emperor selections sometimes. That's one way to fix transparent hair issues in selections and also later we're gonna be learning more about retouching tools to even copy some hair from you and paste it through these A's to get a better results. However now we are almost 80% there and I'm gonna give you a hint guys later we're gonna be using Healing Brush tools along with clone stamp tool for people who are familiar with Photoshop but that will be among listen
