I have this picture, of course a jpeg, so the quality sucks, and i'm having problems selecting the two girls' hair. It blends into the background to where i almost have an impossible time seeing it at all but if i just cut it out it doesn't look natural anymore.
ive been trying to select just the dog from this image for a while now. i played with the channel mixer and found that at high contrast the red channel allowed me to select the dog best, but i still am having great difficulty with the dogs hair out around her legs and head. how would you go about it? it might not be the best image for this as the chair is brown and also the dog is brown.
how to change hair color and select it to modify it. I've tried using magic wand laso tools.. I know that if you make a selection you can modify color in hue/saturation but I can't seem to figure out a easy way to select and work just with the hair and coloring just hair. working mac pscs2.
trying every layer mask combo I could think of to create a realistic shade of white hair that doesn't look like I just used the brush tool to make it.
I've tried lighting up the shadows with the curves option then using the selective color option. But all that does is make a very fake looking film to put over the eyebrows (ya it's eyebrows I'm working on, I'm trying to get them to match a white wig the subject is wearing.)
I've also tried using the solid color option, and a color overlay and that just came out weird.
Has anyone ever turned pitch black hair to white and had it still look like hair?
I am having a problem with a delay in selecting an object and selecting a command.
When I select an object the pointer has at least a 3 second delay before it starts moving around normally again. It is the same with selecting a command. This has started to get tedious. It has worked fine in the past so I don't think it is a RAM/graphics card problem.
OK, today, or actually just this afternoon I've noticed it has become much harder to select items with the mouse.
Points, nodes, etc...anything where you'd typically hover the mouse over the item and it highlights for you to select it.
For example, lets say you want to project a point from another sketch, or select the center node of a line, etc.
Never really had an issue until this afternoon where now it seems I have to be right on top of the item and I cannot budge one bit or it won't select it. It is now taking me numerous attempts to select things like points (zooming in does not work, points scale accordingly).
Is there a setting somewhere? I can't seem to find such under Tools>Application Options and the like.
we recently had some photos done of the staff.  they don't like the orange background and want some other nice looking background. the male individuals would be pretty easy to cut out with pen tool but there are some females that have fluffy or frizzy hair and how to cut out around hair?  i use CS4
I'm working on a project of an elf girl and she has thin straight black hair, but I'm really not sure how to get that to work... I'm sure I could go one strand at a time, but I did that last time and I really don't have that kind of patience to do it again... Is there any kind of shortcut effect?
You know those glossy ads that appear in magazines for hair products that show a beautiful woman with long shiny hair? I don't believe it's the product or that her hair is that perfect, no split ends etc. How can the smoothest hair be acheived using Photoshop?
I got a picture of a lady, however, because of the lighting and the fact that it's b/w some parts of the hair are so dark that you can't see the hair at all.
Is there any techniques I can use so that I can make it look like the hair is slightly visible (even though that area is currently a solid black).
I'm having problems masking hair in this photos: Â As you can see, after refining edge, I come up with an area of lighter hair. How can I correct this?
Does anyone know any photoshop tutorials that involve extending the length of a persons hair? I've been looking all over for such a technique, but to no avail.
I am having trouble with my cross hair not showing the size of my brushes or clones (where it shows a circle around the cross hair to know what size the brushes are) - this has happened before and someone told me to shut it down, and re-open photoshop, but it is not working!
I just made a logo brush, and can't see the brush until I actually stamp it on my picture. I've looked around trying to see if there is a "box not checked" somewhere that would allow me to see the brush size before I start using it, no luck.
In the attached file Lady.psd she gets more / less hair depending on how many layersare on / off. Why is it so? The layers are copies of each other and the original file is fromthe book Creative Photoshop, chapter 14 by Derek Lea.
I've been playing around with this tutorial on aging a person. All is well except when I try to gray her hair I get a mess. Don't know what tool(s) to use. Could use some help since that is not part of the tutorial.
Changing hair color ou adding highlight is pretty easy if the hair is very light color (ex: blonde) but with dark hair it gets alot trickier and i am never happy with the final results...
What kind of techniques do you guys use to do this? best thing I can can up with is using color replacement tool... but the highlights and so ... its just not a vivid convencing look.
trying to use channels to make certain extractions.
I've attached a before and after. What I would like to see is somebody elses extraction of the same image to see how it should be or can be done. I put it on a black background to catch the errors.
I duplicated the blue channel, applied a level to darken the dark areas then burned the midtones...and painted with black. copied into the quickmask.
I've read a zillion tutorials on the channel extract, channels an I have never seen eye to eye.
trying to finish this image up for a few hours now and can't find a suitable way to get rid of the background behind the hair and within the net meshing. I know you people are way smarter than me and have done even harder ones than this. I just need apoint in the right direction, not looking for step by step or for someone to do it for me (I gotta learn too) - just need a bit of guidance.

I have a stock picture of my girlfriend and I would like to colour her hair, eyebrows and eyelashes in a close up picture. She has dark brown hair, what would be suggestions on the easiest way to go about colouring this.
I was wondering how you can change someones hair color, and make it look natural. Everytime I try... well lets not go there. Anyone have an example, or a good tutorial on how it is done?
