Dude. i've been watching your videos for more than a year now, I learned so much but the funniest thing is... I kinda never use photoshop lol, I mostly use premiere pro and after effects (I discovered your channel looking at tutorials for those softwares). But I just enjoy your tutorials because you're a really great teacher and it's also so instructive! Thank you for everything!
Bro, you have no idea how much I was struggling with sky replacement? Never knew it can be this easy. GOD BLESS YOU BRO. May your channel grow more and more. Keep sharing your knowledge. Thanks a tone.
I love your channel! You don't waste time, you get straight to the point and show several options on how to do anything. Thank you! It's beyond perfect.
I have been using this method for many years and always create a mask or channel from the cutout. This works great and isn't destructive any more. It is just about creating the best mask possible.
5:30 If you choose "Sampling: Once" with "Limits: Discontigious" you can click on the blue and then just brush over the hair without having to zoom in. If you have different colors in the background just repeat it with the other colors. I use this method for many years and always create a mask or channel from the cutout. This works great and isn't destructive any more.
That is one awesome tuvid !....that covers probably 99% maybe 100% of the instances where i need to remove backgrounds,, quickest methods I've ever seen...not often i have any complicated hair type ones but these methods will easily do the job for me...many thanks
Excellent. After the finer destructive rim erasing. Select it and apply as mask on a copy. Then further non-destruct that mask to your heart's content. Rock On Knute.
I would love to learn about your process of making videos from start to finish. This really fascinates me and as someone who also makes tutorial based videos, i want to learn more and get better at it
Where were you?! I just loved your style and this video it's gonna save me tons of time! Ok. We will, probably, have to work a little bit on the edges, but the hard/heavy work is done so fast'! 'Boom' like you say! Thanks a lot and you have a new follower :)
another way to help with the fringe is after doing the 2 layers merge then to one and then hold control and click the layer to select just the model and then click mask and double click the mask to refine the edges and mess with the smooth to remove sharp bits, feather a little and increase the contrast to sharpen it. You can also adjust the edge shift if needed
Me as a 3D artist who used to work with Alfa maps for plants s always looking for some quick better results when it comes to the question how to cut out trees from environment without investing too much time just because it's just a texture but sometimes it's just pure frustrating in the result is pretty bad so i caught myself being Lidl scared of kind of this work. So yes long I did not take care match of this magic rubber tool but I will give this a try I think it's way much better than just masking out every kind of detail 4 hours thanks man and have a nice day.
I am very new to photoshop, so i have a question: if you use a destructive tool to achieve something, I guess you can duplicate the background and save it, no?
Wow thanks very much for making this awesome video tutorial I really am a huge fan of your and you are in my top five favorite content creator on CZcams YOUR A ROCK STAR MAN. now tutvid I’ve got a question and request can you make a video tutorial on selecting a subject with very dark hair and removing her from a black background please. Thanks again brother for all your amazing hard work I greatly appreciate you.
I have to agree, ive watched a ton of other vids but this one overall is on a different level and as far as im concerned makes most of the other methods to do this pretty redundant...and whether the other methods produce better results is open to debate...they take a lot longer I know that much..
Nice tutorial, I'm usually ehh on using destructive editing or even looking at the eraser tool but I'll look into this. With some extra steps you can use this with masks as well.
theres no reason you cant save layers at each stage to go back to..or even incremental file saves...i know it makes the overall files larger and or more files but when youre done you can always delete the extra layers and files....
Cool. Now all we need is similar erase brushes but as regular "brushes" that we can use on a mask! OR... ... click on the erased-background to completely select it, then move back to a new copy of the original layer and click the mask icon?
Off the top of my head, I'd say to: 1.) Duplicate the original layer and shut it off. 2.) Do the thing with the Background Eraser on the visible layer 3.) Load that layer as a selection (Ctrl + click the layer thumbnail) 4.) Shut off that layer and turn on the original layer 5.) With the selection still active, add a layer mask to this second layer 6.) Tweak the layer mask and enjoy the non-destructive process!
Hey Nathaniel! Great tutorial as always. Perhaps you could help me with one thing. When I'm at 9:13 I try to paint over the image although white color is selected I'm painting with grey color :( IDK why? Could help me with this one?
one extra trick that i thought of watching this, couldn't you duplicate the layer, use the eraser and then use the selection from that layer to make a layer mask on the duplicated layer. would that work ? :D
one way to make this non-destructive could be to make a copy of the layer, and in one layer, use the eraser and cut out the background and everything, and then use that selection to create a mask for the original image and delete the destructive layer
Use the background eraser to select subject on a copy, then while the subject it's selected, go back to a clean copy and add a mask. Then with that perfectly selected subject in a masked layer, from here you just proceed as usual. Simply add this to your workflow. You can delete the background erased layer after. Boom!
Here's tip to turn those erasers into layer masks. Make a copy of the layer you are erasing and use your eraser method of choice. After the erasing is done, load that layer as a selection and then select the original unerased layer and create a mask from the selection.

Your destructive workflow killed a part of my soul. You're still the GOAT though!

Best Eraser tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch!
Is there a way we can quickly do this kind of stuff with masking?
Off the top of my head, I'd say to:
1.) Duplicate the original layer and shut it off.
2.) Do the thing with the Background Eraser on the visible layer
3.) Load that layer as a selection (Ctrl + click the layer thumbnail)

5.) With the selection still active, add a layer mask to this second layer
6.) Tweak the layer mask and enjoy the non-destructive process!
tutvid was thinking of this method while watching the video...
Thank you ! My problem is solved.

How do I erase without getting shades of the color? I want to fully erase something while preserving a hard line.
Mast🙏
How does he zoom into the circle of his tool?
What is this magnifying tool at 12:53? How can I get it?
Merci
To you, too!
one extra trick that i thought of watching this, couldn't you duplicate the layer, use the eraser and then use the selection from that layer to make a layer mask on the duplicated layer. would that work ? :D
I was thinking about the same thing. In theory it should work. Did you test it? :D
@@MrNotYet1 not yet got to try it, i'll let you know :D

But what about those white fringes you got after using background eraser tool???
Use the background eraser to select subject on a copy, then while the subject it's selected, go back to a clean copy and add a mask. Then with that perfectly selected subject in a masked layer, from here you just proceed as usual. Simply add this to your workflow. You can delete the background erased layer after. Boom!
How have I never used the background erase tool?? Game changer!
It's a useful tool to know about for sure. Thanks for watching!

your video is super...how to cut background without cutting edges of the hair and without making edges of the hair into shining.
