features an Adobe Photoshop CS tutorial. You can use <a href="http://www.test-king.com/cert-MCP.htm">mcp</a> Photoshop tutorial to enhance your Adobe Photoshopskills and pass <a href="http://www.test-king.com/vendor-Cisco.htm">cisco certification</a> exam.</p><p>In this tutorial, I will show you a rather useful technique I use inPhotoshop to make perfect human selection, which requires thecombination of channel mask and the quick selection tool available inPhotoshop CS3.</p><p>I have received a number of emails lately in regards to this topicand I have decided to post this short tutorial with a step-by-step guidefor beginners. Once you master this skill, you can apply it to prettymuch every human image you want to selection/extract.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, if you have any tips/tricks about making selections,youâre more than welcome to share your experience with us, just drop acomment below :)</p><p>Although this is not a formal photo effect tutorial but rather a tip/trick, Ihave created a final image here:</p><p><a href="http://img.psdvault.com/2009/07/channel-mask-quick-selection-flatten.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2991" title="channel-mask-quick-selection-flatten" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/channel-mask-quick-selection-flatten-465x700.jpg" alt="channel-mask-quick-selection-flatten" width="465" height="700"></a></p><p>OK letâs get started!</p><p>To complete this tutorial, you will need to the following stock image:</p>
<p><a href="http://liquid-venus-stock.deviantart.com/art/Modeling-2005-chap-2-13897770" target="_blank">Girl</a></p><h3>Step 1</h3><p>Load the Girl stock image into Photoshop. We know the ultimate goalis to seperate the girl from the rest of the image, but how do we start.Firstly letâs take a look at the image:</p><ol><li>The overall lighting is quite good and it doesnât have a lot of colour variation.</li><li>This is a human portrait so that means taking out the hairs and making selection around it will be difficult.</li><li>You may think of using Pen Tool, but what happen if youâre just not that good atit??</li></ol><p>After those thoughts above, itâs time to get down to business. Tobegin with, letâs take a look at the channels in the channel palatte andselect the âBlueâ channel as shown below:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2970" title="1 select channel" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/1-select-channel.jpg" alt="1 select channel" width="209" height="175"></p><p>The reason I chose the âBlueâ channel here is because it provide thebiggest contrast from the model to the background, comparing with theRed and Green channel.</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2971" title="1 blue" src="Make%20P
<h3>Step 2</h3><p>Now weâre are on the blue channel. The second thing weâre going to dois to increase the contrast as much as we can, while preserving thehair bits. To do this, we can make a duplication of the âBlueâ Channel by right-click and choose âDuplicate channelâ.</p><p>On the âBlue Copyâ channel, go to Image > Adjustment > Brightness /Contrast&np; and apply the following settings:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2972" title="2 bc" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/2-bc.jpg" alt="2 bc" width="326" height="124"></p><p>Then hit Ctrl + L and bring up the level adjustments tool, apply the following settings:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2973" title="2 level" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/2-level.jpg" alt="2 level" width="399" height="305"></p><p>and you will have the following effect:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2974" title="2 after level" src="M
ake%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/2-after-level-459x700.jpg" alt="2 after level" width="459" height="700"></p><h3>Step 3</h3><p>Now we will have to use the power of the Quick Selection tool toselect the light colour part of the girlâs body. To do this, simply grabthe Quick Selection tool (W) from the tool box, set the brush size to2px and tick âAuto-Enhanceâ option, make a selection of the white partas shown below:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2975" title="3 quick sel" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/3-quick-sel-465x700.jpg" alt="3 quick sel" width="465" height="700"></p>
<p>Hint: make use the + and â quick selection tool available on theoption bar for adjustments, donât worry about the hair bits on theoutside as theyâre already in black colour.</p><p>When you finish the selection, simply fill it with black colour:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2977" title="3 after quick" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/3-after-quick-466x700.jpg" alt="3 after quick" width="466" height="700"></p><p>De-select the image when youâre done, if you see a white gap on the girl body, simply use a black brush to fill it.</p><h3>Step 4</h3><p>Now you will see around the girlâs body (which is in Black), thereare some areas cover in dark grey colour. We must get rid of them inorder to make our selection better. To do this, simply use the QuickSelection Tool to make a selection around the girl, then press Ctrl +Shift + I and inverse this selection. Grab the Eraser Tool to gentlyerase those dark grey bits off:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2978" title="4 eraser" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/4-eraser-458x700.jpg" alt="4eraser" width="458" height="700"></p><p>The reason we make the selection is that by doing so, we will not accidentally erase the parts on the girlâs body.</p><p>Here is the effect so far:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2979" title="4 eraser 2" src="Make
<p>Now we have successfully completed a Channel Mask, which we</p><h3>Step 5</h3><p>Now we can go back to the layer palatte, go to select > load selection andchoose the following:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2980" title="5 load sel" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/5-load-sel.jpg" alt="5 load s
el" width="417" height="236"></p><p>and you will see now the model is selected:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2982" title="5 after load" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/5-after-load-465x700.jpg"alt="5 after load" width="465" height="700"></p><p>Press Ctrl + J and make a duplication of the selection, and create anew layer in between and fill it with white colour, you will see we havenow successfully make a pretty good selection for the girl model:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2983" title="5 effect" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/5-effect-463x700.jpg" alt="5
effect" width="463" height="700"></p><h3>Step 6</h3><p>Now we can of course fine tune the image a bit by using the SharpenFilter. Go to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen and apply thefollowing settings:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2984" title="6 sharpen" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/6-sharpen-500x317.jpg" alt="6 sharpen" width="500" height="317"></p><p>Also add a series of adjustment layers on top of it will help tobring out extra light and contrast: (Go to Layer > Adjustment Layer)</p><p>For all adjustment layers, make sure to tick the âUse previous layer as clippingmaskâ option.</p>
<p>Black and White:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2985" title="6 bw" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/6-bw.jpg" alt="6 bw" width="410" height="452"></p><p>Levels</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2986" title="6 lv" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/6-lv.jpg" alt="6 lv" width="399" height="305"></p><p>Curves</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2987" title="6 curves" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/6-curves.jpg" alt="6 curves" width="471" height="529"></p><p>Hue and Saturation</p><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2988" title="6 hue" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/6-hue.jpg" alt="6 hue" width="405"height="285"></p><p>and here is the effect so far:</p><p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2989" title="6 effect" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/6-effect-459x700.jpg" alt="6effect" width="459" height="700"></p>
<h3>Step 7</h3><p>Now we have a perfect girl image, without any background and great towork on as a starting point. Itâs time to use your imagination and
creativity :) I simply use some custom brushsets from qbrushes.com andadd some patterns in the background, adjusted the colour balance a bit.</p><p><a href="http://img.psdvault.com/2009/07/channel-mask-quick-selection-flatten.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2991" title="channel-mask-quick-selection-flatten" src="Make%20Perfect%20Selection%20for%20Human%20Object%20by%20Utilising%20Channel%20Mask%20Technique%20in%20Photoshop%20-%20PSD%20Vault_files/channel-mask-quick-selection-flatten-465x700.jpg" alt="channel-mask-quick-sele
