The Refine Selection Menu allows you to further tweak your selection. Once opened, you’ll notice that a red mark has been applied to your subject. Next, open the Refine Selection menu by clicking the button in the toolbar that reads Refine. Once refined, your selection should track your subject more accurately. Navigating back and forth through these two functions, go through your image and make sure your subject is perfectly outlined. Holding Alt allows you to remove parts of the selection, whereas not holding Alt allows you to add to the selection. To do this, hold Alt on your keyboard, and then click and drag. Zoom in on your subject and use the Selection Brush Tool to manually correct the imperfections of your outline, only working from the inside out. Now it’s time to make a few adjustments to the rudimentary selection we previously, and make it so that it outlines your subject more accurately. We’re going to correct that in the next step. This will be corrected later on.ĭon’t worry if your selection doesn’t precisely match the edges of your subject. You might end up with a crude selection that isn’t quite accurate. Make sure to fill in the remaining white area of the image as well. Once the settings are in place, use the left and right bracket keys on your keyboard to set the size of your brush, then manually draw a selection going around your subject. Make sure that you have both Snap to edges and Soft edges enabled. Without this setting enabled you will end up with hard, pixelated edges that do not look clean. The snap to edges setting is what allows the tool to auto-detect the edges of your subject, and the soft edges setting will give your subject a more tapered finished along the edges. The tool’s internal algorithm automatically detects where the edges of your subject are and differentiates it from the white background.įor this tutorial we want to make sure that we have both the Snap To Edges and Soft Edges tool settings enabled. The Selection Brush Tool is a freehand brush that allows us to paint a selection around the subject of our photo. Considering that written instructions may be a little difficult to learn from for something like this, it is recommended that you watch the video tutorial at the top of the page for these next two steps. In this next step we’ll be creating a selection around our subject using the Selection Brush Tool. Step 4: Create A Selection With The Selection Brush Tool This will convert it to a pixel layer, which will allow us to delete portions of the image. Next, right-click the layer and select Rasterize. This will unlock access to the layer so that we can edit the photo that’s on it. If it is enabled (you’ll see a check icon next to it,) simply click on it to disable it. Right-click on your layer and look for Lock in the menu. The layers tab is located on the right-hand side of the screen. Navigate to the right-hand side of your screen to the Layers tab.
This is because editing pixels requires different tools than you would typically use for editing vectors. Once opened, you should immediately notice that the tools on the left-hand side of your screen have changed.
