How to Cut Out a Person FAST with Select & Mask

When I went to the last step to go back and touch up, it did not work for me :(

Hello I'm using the latest photoshop 2021 and when I go to invert the mask it does it. However when I add a layer to create a different color background it changes the color of the lady to a solid color, not the background?

The goat

I LOVE THAT INTRO. HA HA!

I just tried following his instructions 3 times and never does it come out as clean. . . I just don't get it

I CANT DO IT I BEEN TRYING FOR SO LONG TUTORIAL AFTER TUTORIAL NOTHING!!!

Bravo, well done! I chose my own picture with a solid background and this worked. Thank You!

u rlly helped me out ty

Thanks Boss

Thank you for the summary on the end, that is the part I will use to follow along. And I'm also curious to what the person behind the camera is doing :)

That looked so easy and didn't work at all with my file. My selection is not red, the color option is gone in Photoshop 2021

Awesome Video !! Works wonders and very fast too.

Unfortunately the refinement of the hair didn't work at all. It made the picture much worse. Would have appreciated going a bit slower there so I could see better what you were doing.

Thank god

Thanks for taking the time to do this quick tutorial... Very helpful...

search for "PIXimperfect"! his way of explaining things is way better than this noone.

excellent as usual thanks

I really enjoyed this. Thanks so much

im looking for the one where you click and it selects a dot then you keep doing that

Much appreciated!

I am now getting into PS and I must say I love how you make it look so easy

Your start is on the middel of the road

i dont have select and mask

Thank you for this video. Can you please explain the part where you did Curves > Increase curve > Invert ? What would be the difference if you just did the gradient without all that?

Strangest and by far the easiest way. Finally found this

The edges of my image have gone a little transparent. Are there any settings I'm supposed to change with my Refine Edge tool?

how to open the properties tab again i closed it oops

This is a great way to do this...but where do i find Invert Layer Mask w/o the shortcut? It doesn't seem to be working for me? And I'm brand-new to Illustrator.

Fast concise and to the point. Well done and very much appreciated. Thanks Mate

that start made me want to die of pure cringe

This saved me after days of pulling my hair out. ❤️

What if I dont have "Select and Mask" availabele?

I didn't even know how good Antony Stark in Photoshop

This is exactly what I was looking for. Efficient and simple enough for what I was needing.

What about if you're working on a white background? What's the best way to clip that?

I wish it was that simple with my photos

this helped a lot but i have a question, when the image turned red it missed some parts that I need. How do I paint the rest of it red so I can perfectly cut it out

BEST video!

didnt show how to make everything red on the pic for easier guiding nor how you got your set up, wasnt able to use this
unfortunately

Super helpful, thanks. A couple notes that might help newbies like me: Don't be so quick to do steps. You're often halfway through something before I can see where your cursor is. Also, your logo in the corner is hiding Photoshop controls, so that's hard to see too. But, seriously, your quick tutorial was a big help, despite those challenges!

You're adorable

flamboyant af lmao great video my man

This was helpful, although you go through a few things a little too fast. I'd suggest to name it basic, intermediate, or advanced; and also put a highlighter on your curser, cuz I kept pausing to see where the heck it is -_- What I've really been trying to find is, how to combine using quick selection + select and mask, because that seems ideal for the types of cutouts I do a lot of the time.

Really useful video, way way better than all the others ive seen

Settings at work I have...the pic opens transparent..I double click on the person and chunks become masked. Once I have the person, click OK, done. This way shown is triple the steps. I set it up 5 years ago and haven't messed with it since. But it's not even close to this many steps. Miss some background I can double click areas needing knocked out and it's fixed, select OK and done.

For some reason when I do the spotlight it doesn't show anything for me. The colour stays totally the same, one colour wi5h no gradient at all.

I don't get this dialogue. I get a blank screen. I see on another video I'm meant to click on select subject? Is that right? Still learning.

Wow I wanted to turn this off after 1 second.
