I make a new tutorial each week here at PhotoshopCAFE. You can touch it up by painting on the layer mask with black or white. Hold Down Alt/Option and click on the new Layer mask button. All the white areas will be selected.Ĭlick on RGB to turn the channels back on. Often you will use both dodge and burn for hair.Ĭmd/Ctrl+Click on the channel thumbnail to lead the selection. (The video shows this is action very well)
Set it to highlights, and paint around any of the edges that need to be lightened. When you have finished with the dark edges switch to the Dodge tool

(Blue Channel) Click on “Blue”ĭrag the Blue channel to the new channel icon at the bottom (the square with the plus sign in it) On earlier version of Photoshop make a selection around the subject using quick select, magic wand, or whatever you have available.Ĭhoose the channel with most contrast. in CC2019 or newer (we are using Photoshop 2020 here) choose the Quick selection tool and click on select Subject. It will work with all version of Photoshop.
This type of cutout is sometimes called a channel pull, although many channel pulls just use levels and don’t include the powerful dodge and burn technique you will learn here. We will be using Channels and well as dodging and burning to create our mask.
