How To Easily Remove Backgrounds In Photoshop

This beginner friendly tutorial will show you how to cut out an image in Photoshop. Many struggle to refine hair selections when creating subject masks, however this video takes you through the steps of how to remove background around lots of hair.
For this photoshop tutorial, I chose an image from a not ideal situation, demonstrating one method of cutting out hair from an extremely busy background.
While this may seem like advanced hair masking in Photoshop, it is relatively simple and most people should be able to follow along and learn how to cut hair in Photoshop.
Whether you want to change the background, or simply have a transparent background - you will be able to achieve this by following the steps in this video!

I liked that it was straight to the point without the waffle. I can't take lots of instructions. Have you got more photoshop tricks ?

[@CreatorFix]

I’m glad you found it helpful! I have some more photoshop tutorials in a playlist on my channel. I am currently working on some new ones too! 😁

[@imaclite]

Thank you so much, I tried your method and it was excellent. I am a wildlife photographer and I struggle with cutting the hair of lions and big cats, and your method was much better than professionals. 👍🏻

I’m glad it helped! 😊

Thnx for making it very simple.. 😍😍😍😍😍

For some reason the paint brush was selecting everything around the subject and the mask was ruined. I followed and reflowed your tutorial to a tee

[@dkalfaguy]

Amazing - and a very good tutorial which I look forward to try. The only thing missing would be an explanation why you adjust the sliders and what that does.

[@CreatorFix]

Thanks for your comment! I like to get straight to the point in my videos which I know can leave out some other details. Maybe I can go deeper into each setting in another video?

[@Gnote_]

Very straight and educating, thank you so much

Thank you! Very easy to understand!!!!!

[@landonmatthew]

I just clicked on the layer and pressed the "remove background" button tho and that worked

[@CreatorFix]

That’s great! That works in most cases, however with fine wispy hair - this method is better

[@landonmatthew]

@@CreatorFix was wondering if it was the wispy hair. i went back and used your method and it was a lot better for the hair… thanks for the tips!!

[@CreatorFix]

@@landonmatthew you're welcome! I'm glad it worked out for you 😊

[@Q2Japan]

Cheers! But the hair mask never works well for me. I set the same numbers as you recommended but it always removes too much of the subject (even when I'm quite careful of just hitting the hair).

[@CreatorFix]

Can you describe your image?

[@Q2Japan]

@@CreatorFix it's a portrait but I didn't use a hair light (unfortunately) so het dark hair blends into the dark background. I got there to separation from the subject in Lightroom, but unfortunately in Photoshop the selection tool didn't work well. So! I just used content aware fill and generative fill to extend the backdrop and make the background uniform. Hope to one day master selection

[@CreatorFix]

@Q2Japan dark hair on a dark background will be tricky as the software will struggle to see it to highlight it. I’ll try and find a better solution for you

[@Q2Japan]

@@CreatorFix I appreciate it! But in general the feather selection never worked for me 😂 but I'll try it out another time. Cheers!

[@CreatorFix]

@Q2Japan you’re welcome ☺️ good luck!
