A Guide on using Fine Selection Background Retouching in Photography
When we shoot portraits, sometimes we end up with an undesirable background. Having a different colored background or to superimpose your subjects picture into another background can improve the pictures. But, one of the main problems with making fine selection is right on top of your head. Hair... Making fine selection of hair is one of the trickiest techniques to master.
If you are have a low pixel image or a starter range lens that gives soft pictures, do note that hair strands does not appear individually. Zoom in closer and you'd realize that hair strands mostly appear as clumps/or a line of grey pixels in different tones to simulate the appearance of hair. Thus editing around these "grey pixels" requires special care.
Here's a fine selection technique used by professional:
If you have never heard of Color Range, now is a great time to find out. It's a selection technique in which you can select a band of the same colors automatically. If you've been using the lasso tool, you would know how tedious it can get to select complex images. Well, this tool helps you to make very minute selections on your picture.
Select the part of your image which you wish to edit. Here we are looking at removing the shadow from behind the model. Use the selection tool with the "+" and make your selection within the shadow areas. You may have to click a few times within different parts of the shadow to get it all selected. Don't worry about the selection made on the different parts of your subject as you won't be touching these areas for the edit.
The fuziness slider affects how much of each colour banding selection is to be made, or in other words the fuziness of the edges. Experiment with this for different pictures.
Click on "OK". And you can see how the fine selection has been made. Now go to your clone stamp tool and we're gonna have a bit of fun...
Begin by stamping out the shadow using source from the uncovered area of the wall behind your model. Concentrate on the side of the model and under her armpit. Make sure your stamp size is small enough not to affect the selected areas on the models herself.
Deselect and you will see that you have effectively removed the shadow closest to your model leaving just a thin line of shadow at the edge of where it used to be and because this thin line is further away from the model's hair, you can easily clone it out!
And that's IT! Once you get the hang of it, you can do this easily in less than 5 minutes flat!
