Thank you, Rony! I'm delighted to hear it helped ❤️ However, it's your and many other creatives' curiosity to learn that truly pushes them to do amazing things.

[@andrewsm2001]

This tutorial came out as I was making art with a cat as my subject, the background was tricky and this method worked great. Thanks piximperfect for coming to the rescue once again!

[@abrock6215]

Very good tutorial. I would also like to see how to mask a furry or hairy subject that has been shot on a complex multicolored background, since most everyday photos are not shot in a studio with a perfect solid colored background.

[@PiXimperfect]

Of course! We already have a video on it! You can search for "Complex Background PiXimperfect"

Thank you bro🙌

Perfect!

[@managementinsight4554]

Thanks for this educating video. I found out when I click on SELECT AND MASK, what happens in your video where the cat image become completely dark does not happen in mine ( am using photoshop 2021). It worked when I was following the teaching but when I wanted to do it on my own without the video guide (just to be sure I have mastered it), when I hit the select and mask, the cat does not completely become black (as in your video in 1:46). I believe I have mistakenly touched something. can you help please

[@balo7241]

Hey, can you help me? I do not have a second ball in my brush (the one who marks the shadow). I only have one circle. How to do to have both?

[@brynbulloch]

I wake up every day hoping you have posted another amazing tutorial. I know doing these takes a LOT of planning, time and energy. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your time and mind-blowing talents with us. Your enthusiasm is SO infectious. I was intimidated by learning more advanced skills with Pshop until I found you. The confidence I am building with the tools you are teaching me is growing and growing (plus, it doesn't hurt that you are so handsome. Makes the tutorials so easy to watch. ;P )! Tell your parents they have done a WONDERFUL job in raising such an intelligent and kind man. I hope someone does something wonderful for you this week as you have done for us!

[@PiXimperfect]

You, my friend, have already done something truly wonderful for me this week being so kind and encouraging. Thank you so much, and I needed the encouragement to keep creating :) I will sure convey your message to my parents. All the very best and I'm grateful for your support ❤️

ADMIN HERE: Actually, there's a comprehensive PS class created by Unmesh Dinda. It's called PhotoshopEasy at www.photoshopeasy.com Thanks for watching!

[@DayoSamuelMastery]

Hey Unmesh, please can you point me to how you put together your setup for this video? From lights to tables to mics and everything. Currently trying to have a new office done. Thanks

[@brsvtzk]

This is by far the best PS tutorials channel on KZbin. You sir can't imagine how many times you've helped me hahaha thank you

[@JacksonCarson]

Beautiful result, Unmesh! It would be amazing to see a similar tutorial for complex backgrounds. Like with lots of mixed lights and darks. That happens a lot - a photo taken outside, let's say, that needs to then be used on a solid background. Thank you for all that you do! Keep up the amazing tutorials. They're getting better and better all the time.

[@PiXimperfect]

Hey Jackson! There's a video exactly on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOtiZ2Nj5qZf6s

@@PiXimperfect How 'bout that!?! Very cool. Thanks, Unmesh! 😎

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Ah brilliant. Yes, my image had a slightly variagated background so maybe I can refine further with this extra video. Great!

[@9factsstudio956]

To everybody reading this, I hope that whatever is bothering you or that you are continuously worried about improves. May your mind be free of gloomy thoughts, overthinking, and skepticism right now. May clarity triumph over ambiguity. May your life be filled with peace and tranquility.

[@aledianin]

I don't know what I do wrong but I can never get the refine brush to work. It always takes too much or too little of my masks...HELP 😆🤣 I absolutely love your channel. Cheers

Ahh this is actually handy for bushy beards! Great video as always🙏🏻

I love how you are always smiling and trying to make us understand every tool, you always explain every detail and because of you i was able to understand a lot of things that i didnt understand before ( im a Graphic Design student and believe me when I say that i learned from you more than I learned from my own teacher) thank you a lot for the video and we all appriciate the effort you put into making these videos. keep going we love to see more.

[@AstronautDown]

I bet with every new Unmesh video someone at Adobe goes, "wow, we can do this in Photoshop?"

[@kellyrichardson249]

When I save the normal group and the multiply layers together as a smart object so that I can use filters on the image, it is saving it without the changes. I don’t understand why? ….. how can I merge these layers and keep the edits I made to fix the halo edging?

[@jjjjjjjjjj816]

i have the same question! T.T struggling here lol

[@bv42]

I've said this many times over several years: Unmesh, you are a master teacher! I want you to know that you have helped others indirectly - I have taught members of my camera club some of the things that you have taught me (and, of course, directed them to your channel as well). You have helped not only to improve my photography, but also to make Photoshop a form of entertainment for me!

Thank you, Unmesh. You were showing two examples: one with a dark background and one with a light background. What about a complicated background with a mix of light and dark?

How do you do this now in June 2023 with Generative fill? When I try and follow along I can only see the NEW Contextual Task Bar which has select subject or remove background. There is no option to refine hair. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you

[@donnababylon]

Does this technique work for other subjects than animals and fur? For example, fuzzy Christmas ornaments or pompoms? Thanks!

[@TheAlte111]

It would be more impressive if it was grey fur on grey background. Noth contrasting light fur on dark background.

If my Kitty is 3 COLOR) that would be difficult to fix mask haha thank you PIXImperfect!

[@m.e.segatini9199]

Hello, I wrote an email to you but not sure if you received it. How would you proceed in flattening the layers and keeping the effects if you need to hand the final image holding the transparency background for your client to place it in any background they want? I can see the effects do not hold when flattened to 1 single layer (merged) in order to keep the transparent background. Is there a video you can point me to?? Thanks!!!!! ⭐

[@packdevisj]

This really helped me. Thank you very much. Basic, but we just don't realize it.

[@TonyStark-ik9em]

Why is the editing of the edges so hellish fast? What resolution does the cat have? I'm trying one in 7kx4.7k and it's slooooow. Also - i understand it's way better to show that on a completely in focus subject - this mostly is achievable in a controlled evironment with enough light to be able to shoot f11. Outside, natural light style you often have OOF areas on the body already - my first tries were not promising.

[@peteradibe8218]

I really Love your content as a whole ❤.... it's thought me alot Please I've got a question 🙏 when you grouped just that one layer the blend mode changed to "Pass Through" why?

[@jjjjjjjjjj816]

hiii! please i neew help, is there a way you can merge the layers with the blend modes attached to it? I've done the tutorial, but I need to export this as a png layer, but when I export it, the SCREEN blend mode that "corrects" the layer when its in front of a bright color disappears.

But Unmesh, how do you do it if it's not a studio photo, and the background is so busy? Please make a vid about this...and yes Ive watched all the old ones. Or just say "nope, it cant be done, unless you paint it yourself!". Thank you
