Selecting Hair in Photoshop Elements 11

by

TS-ELE11Photoshop Elements keeps getting better and better with each new release. With the recent release of Elements 11, Adobe has crammed even more Photoshop’s power into Elements with the addition of edge detection.

It’s called Refine edge with edge detection and what it does is to make the impossible easy. Until now Photoshop Elements would struggle to select complex structures like hair or leaves but no more as you’ll discover in this video. Now selecting hair is as easy as using a paint brush!

Because this technology is identical to Photoshop, this tutorial is fully compatible with Photoshop CS5 and CS6 as well as Elements 11.

    Gavin would have to be one of the best tutors I’ve seen on the Web. He gets me inspired every time I see one of his posts.

    Absolutely brilliant instructions which I was able to follow to a tee! I have researched loads of tutorials but none of them were as easy to follow as this.

    Thank you Gavin
