Another important skill to master is how to use selection tools and select and mask to refine hair. Hair can be very difficult to cut out so practicing this skill is essential to mastering photo editing! Once you have cut the girls out, add a colored background behind them. You will need to use the tools we discussed to help you adjust your selection to make sure the hair has been cut out as close as you are able too. As we work on complex selections, the ability to save and load selections can be very helpful. Save Selection and Load Selection can be found under the Select Menu.
Make sure you export the images as JPEGs as last name_first name_hair (1 or 2) and turn in!
