While some people are a little bit more mean-spirited about the point it did take you 2 min. 43 seconds to explain crude selection. I think it's fantastic that you're trying to help other people understand Photoshop, remember we came to you for help so don't let jerks especially ones on the Internet dictate anything.
Ha, you the one that wasted 7 minutes. I don't see you putting out any helpful tutorials. This is exactly what i needed for work I am doing. Thanks Mike.
Thank you so much for this video. It has been very helpful. But can you explain how to extract the hoofs back in the photo. Sorry, I'm a beginner. Also I am surprised at all the negative comments that people put on these free tutorials. Folks, you are getting this info for free. Be thankful. If you don't like it or you think you can do better, then just move on to another video. Thank you, Mike Schultz. I will continue to learn from your tutorials.
Thank you, I did learn from your video, I use Elements, which does have the same tools that your using here. Extraction is very time consuming and you taught me another way of doing it. On another note, I am so sorry for all the posters here that decided to be so nasty instead of realizing that you did this video to help us.
Let them talk and say whatever, atleast he is tutoring ur asses for free, and too nice of him to take time and show us. What's going on these days with all the trash low level people around CZcams (To most of the grabage complaining about the talks)
Thanks for posting this free advice - helped me a lot. And I don't think you talked too much, its your free advice and you can talk all you like. cheers
One of the most useful videos I've seen so far on the subject of "fine selections"....it would have been even more amazing if you completed the selection and showed the bit about the hooves of the horse...but hey....the most important part, that of the fine hair, worked amazingly....thanks a ton....!!!
pretty informative...layer mask is also good to use in conjuction with this and then go to refine mask and draw around object for fine hairs and stuff....I just need to learn how to make it less glowy looking...
Don't mind the haters, very well done, especially for noobs like me. Would love to see how you get the white area of the legs back into the final selection.
oh my gosh! this is amazing! i have been going through a lot of pain erasing things piece by piece, detail by detail. Now I know a super easy way to do it without all the effort! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE AWESOME!
This sounds like a very promising tool that I have no made use of. If it is as useful as you made it out to be, it's going to make Photoshopping a lot easier for me. Thank you
Now why can't more people rise to the challenge like that. I admire your willingness. Look forward to the video and will subscribe if you do it. Cheers.
It's a shame that while people don't have time to watch the parts of your video that might help out those that do not know as much, these people DO have time to get on here and complain about it. And while I'm also confident that the tutorial videos these trolls make themselves are shining examples of verbal perfection which allow them the moral latitude to criticize your "uh's", I know that if I were making a video for public consumption I would be a stuttering mess. Thanks Mike for the vid!
I was just gonna whine about the abundance of unnecessary information but when I scrolled down I saw the comments about whining dudes =D. Great job, perfect tutorial, too informative, thanks!
I think this video is mainly made for REAL beginners, who don't know ANYTHING, so this talking would help them a lot. I use this tool very often but instead of deleting the background I use layer mask. If the selecting goes wrong, it's much easier with layer mask.
5:36 before clicking you should check "Decontaminate Colors" thats a great option there and indeed, it will get you rid of all the noise and the colors at the background.. as he said.. you will again have to play with the settings at ^:30 .. no need.. just check that and play with amount till it suits your image and is of your taste... Great Tut!
i recommended the background eraser tool, it's much better cleaning tool and when u using it don't forget the selecting "Sampling: Backround swatch" use your foreground colour as a colour u want to keep, and use your background colour as u want to clean. This will give you a much more details then masking the hole image. It needs much more time then this refine edge but the result will be perfect...
Instead of duplicating your layer at the beginning, inverting your selection, and then deleting everything, you can create your selection (without duplicating the original layer), refine in, then hit command+J, and it will copy and paste what you selected onto a new layer. There's also a masking option at the bottom of the refine selection dialog box that will automatically create a duplicated layer with a mask of your selection.
You did help me with one aspect of Refine Edge and I appreciate that. However, I think you should continue with the detailing of the hair in your next video, showing how Refine Edge and bring out all the hair details. You need the rest of that horse's tail to look finished.
Wow this video was fabulous! Thank you for taking time to do this for us all. I need to do this on my friends harley. Maybe this will work for all the fine detail? Thanks so much!
I think using channels coupled with refine edge is much more effective. Also I never delete a background (unless in final stage). Its much safer to set the selection to a mask.
ignore everyone saying you talk too much, i find talking to myself while doing creative stuff makes the work better xD ranting videos are good, oh helpful tutorial too (y)
@NisaLavigne93 Many times when that happens, it is because the selection is not close enough to the edge of the object you want to cut out. Also check to see if the layer is unlocked.
Quit talking so much. When you speak focus on describing what you're doing. You skip through a lot at the end where you should be explaining more in-depth the steps and forget all of the meaningless stuff at the beginning. Very informative and great quality!
You did cover a lot of the basic steps in cropping out the horse, but one major thing you should consider is using masks, they make it so that your crop is no going to cause permanent deletion, and can easily be adjusted without needing the back up. :)

totally worth skipping the talk and worth watching the rest, this did the job for me.
next step, mastering with color range contrast.
Nobody's gnna mention how *sophisticated* this video is

I wasn't just looking for a tutorial to crop hair, but to amputate my picture horse as well. So thank you very much.
I don't think you spoke too much. Very informative... thank you! Cool feature.
He's taking his time out to help people! You can always move on yourself!

Well said 👍

Thanks for putting that out there; couldn't agree more.
omg I totally agree - low level people with low level thinking - just fast forward and be grateful you have something for free or go somewhere else
Haters gonna hate.
Good explanation. I didn't mind all the extra banter as it gave my mind time to absorb wtf was going on with the tool and process. Thank you.
Tnx. A nice add on to the different options to extraxt hair.
Thanks for posting this free advice - helped me a lot. And I don't think you talked too much, its your free advice and you can talk all you like. cheers

This is the best video I have seen for this . Thank you so much for the time and effort you spent to share this . You should upload more videos.
