This is just what I needed to make a boring grey background look so much more interesting. Thank you for explaining this so well!

[@rocacore]

I always comeback to this specific tutorial, its been the most helpful so far!!

[@Quick5260]

One of the best tutorials for this out there.

[@susanwilson6409]

Loved the idea of using the dodge tool to tidy up the hair

[@lilli-.-]

Thank you! Your videos are always easy to understand. Thank you for the step by step!!

[@kkrad1]

Good topic .. change background dynamically.

[@user-qv5se3dm7u]

Perfect KZbinr

[@matthewmorganphoto]

Any tips for changing color tones to the subject to match feel of new background color? Color balance? Curves? Gradient?

[@blueorchid3240]

You are so good at explaining everything! I learned so much, thank you! 😊🙌🏼

[@redziowy798]

faster version - cutout the object, copy it to next layer or make a mask, do the color changing in original mask. You don't have to thank

[@MentosCubing]

So you have a selection. Then what? Jesús's method: create adjustment, invert mask. Your method: duplicate layer, apply mask, create adjustment, move it to the middle of the layer stack. You've replaced two steps with four. How is that faster? I guess you're right, I do not have to thank...

[@liusjuliano5694]

Cutout the object is not everyone can do especially the hair for the beginner. Cmiwwww

[@fredericknagbe234]

Thank you man. You save my life.🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥

[@yubrajkhatri2701]

Did you use the same monitor which you had shown us before?

[@azeemali4993]

hye my adjustment layer not work when i select solid color they are not select in pics kindly any solution

[@Connor_Dempsey]

Great video. Its those last couple of techniques that you need to know to achieve the tasks. Like b&w view, then smooth the body mask, then save. Then come back into Selections and do the hair without smoothing on. The other techniques too you taught... Thanks brother.

[@MarcoAltamirano]

Thanks Man you are the LAW

[@bobschaffer5092]

I am trying to learn how to use the mixer brush tool, but I have no tool bar that shows up at the top of my screen that shows the load, wetness, etc.. Can you tell me where it went. or how to get it back into the software. Edit>Toolbar does not work, as I have tried that, and wasted two days trying to solve this situation. Very frustrating. BTW, I have subscribed, and enjoy your tutorials. Big learning curve for a retiree, but I'm working at it. Wish I could find a good one-on-one tutor for a couple hours.

[@jaytechhead7772]

Thank you. Always great to see your video

[@simonespaduzzi9275]

i love this technique! thank you for the video!

[@d2pamike]

Wouldn't it be even more flexible to use a gradient map instead of a solid color fill layer? you can adjust highlights and shadows within gradient maps and play with colors even better. But still thank you for the great explanation!

[@roshanmadhuranga3528]

Very informative. Thanks for sharing..

[@cjdreamzs]

Hi, I did everything and the background did not change, I don"t know what I did wrong

[@boneselkins]

Loved it. I photographed a little girl yesterday on white and I want to change the background to pink also. So this was perfect. But one question, what if I wanted multiple colors instead of one. Could I do that?
