How to Select and Extract Hair in Photoshop (Advanced)

Here is a good tutorial on extracting hair from a background in Adobe Photoshop. You need to know a little bit of Photoshop to follow it, although it’s pretty thorough and explains each step very well.

This tutorial is adapted from the book “Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 Maximum Performance” by Mark Galer. It produces more sophisticated results than other techniques. If you are looking for a more easy tutorial using the Photoshop Extract Filter, you may want to take a look at this post on selecting frizzy hair on Beeex.net first.
