You are an excellent teacher! Please make a video on selecting the hair! I have been trying to select this individual with greyish hair and place a textured over him without success! Thanks so much
Great video! I'm a beginner and have a hard time following a lot of videos This was the the best video I've watched. I am going to have to check out more of your videos.
Thanks Brendan for useful tutorial. I have question why the paint bucket has only foreground drop down menu, no background that we need to paint color.
I CANT BELIEVE KKKKKKKKKKKK I was manually removing the background this whole time... and photoshop does it automatically!! Seriously, I've been laughing at this for hours. Thanks, dude!! I still can't believe I was doing this manually. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't get it. None of these options worked for me. I have W11 PS19. Is there something else I need to do to have the options. Download an Add-on maybe?
Hello, Brendan. I've watched a few of your videos to help me with my current project and they have been very helpful! I am currently trying to make a video where I am moving two pictures towards each other but there is a problem. I used your tips to remove backgrounds, improve resolution and crop areas, leaving a headshot in each picture. After saving the pics as .png files, I still have the rectangular black area around the headshots that can be seen as the pictures move towards one another. The black area of one picture will partially cover the other headshot as they approach each other. I'm trying to have only a "head silhouette" in each picture with a totally transparent background. (I hope that I am making myself clear). Should I be saving these pictures in Photoshop in a different format or is there a way to use masks or some other method to accomplish this task?
HiBrendan, I love your videos as they are so easy to follow. I am working on my family photo (11 persons) and am trying to individually to edit each person but having a hard time with object selection as PS keeps including/excluding parts of another person. I have tried the adding and subtracting feature and still not able to do it nicely. Do you have a video with something like this? Thanks.
Hmm, I would suggest the pen tool or the quick selection tool (both shared in an older video titled “4 best ways to remove backgrounds in photoshop”) but you could also use the object selection tool, add the rough selection to a layer mask, then refine it by painting white or black on the mask with the brush tool until only your desired subject is selected. That’s probably the least time consuming option that I’d go for.
Thank you so much for your tutorial. I have a problem - around 9.14 in. your video, where you say "select the mask double click on the layer mask that you just created and it vill open up........ Mine doesn´t - I cant open the layer mask by double clicking??? What am I doing wrong - please? I use Mac. TIA
After you take the background out in the first example, then how to you copy and paste the image onto another file. I copied it and the mask copied and then I copied the pic and the background was still there?
Any idea how to remove the color bleed on the edges that seeped in from the background? Not casted light onto the edge, but the background color 'stuck' on the cutout edges. Thanks for the really nice tutorial. AJ Norway

Brendan this is frustrating. I followed your instructions to the letter. But my background stays. Yes I get the background layer, but I never get the checkerboard.
Nice, all of these. But... there is a much much easier way to do it. You making a layer copy, you turning it to black 'n white, then you picking the eraser tool and you selecting the Background Erase Tool (and you hitting the button to reset to default your colors to black 'n white). If you have the background of your image in black, you reverting the colors (to have white top and black back) and tool you simply ERASING ALL BLACKS - so, all the background! If you have "grey areas" here and there, you simply picking a Layer option and you overlaying a pure white color (to the white 'n grey areas) and... that's it. (I'm using Photoshop 2016, so I don't have all these new "goodies" like auto-one-click removing)
It's because the selection is selecting the subject, therefore when you add a mask the contents of the selection is removed. That's why you invert the layer mask after to reveal the proper cut out. Press Command/control + I with the mask selected to invert.

I don’t have this in my options side bar.
please i would love to know how to make my hairs look more realistic when am taking out background
Heya I don't get the remove background option on my properties - perhaps have I a different version of Photoshop?
If you are using PS CC it will appear as long as your image layer is highlighted in the layers panel
Thank you so much for your tutorial. I have a problem - around 9.14 in. your video, where you say "select the mask double click on the layer mask that you just created and it vill open up........

What if you don’t have remove background at the quick access at the properties panel
How then do you get it there ?
how to change the selection if it doesnt pick up all the background you want removed or too much background?
Hey nice
wow, I never knew that remove background button was there
Bat you couldn't do this in adobe Photoshop 2021 because in properties there is no so called remove background
It is there, you'd have to rasterize the layer first
Any idea how to remove the color bleed on the edges that seeped in from the background? Not casted light onto the edge, but the background color 'stuck' on the cutout edges.
Thanks for the really nice tutorial.

Expand your mask by two pixels and it will remove those edges...
Informative but please slow down.
Just make your video slower on your settings.
Brendan this is frustrating. I followed your instructions to the letter. But my background stays. Yes I get the background layer, but I never get the checkerboard.
Be sure to have any layers beneath turned off so there is nothing visible beneath the layer you cut out with a mask.
The quick options only says 'Convert to frame" and "convert to shape". why is "remove background" an option?
Video frame at 9:34 while applying the quick selection tool in a particular area then other part of the image is automatically erased......why?
Nice, all of these.
But... there is a much much easier way to do it.
You making a layer copy, you turning it to black 'n white, then you picking the eraser tool and you selecting the Background Erase Tool (and you hitting the button to reset to default your colors to black 'n white). If you have the background of your image in black, you reverting the colors (to have white top and black back) and tool you simply ERASING ALL BLACKS - so, all the background!

(I'm using Photoshop 2016, so I don't have all these new "goodies" like auto-one-click removing)
1:05 im updated but i still dont get the "remove background" button. Anyone know why or how i can get it?
Hi I don’t seem to have the remove background option in the quick actions section can someone advise please??
Have to unlock the layer to see it
what version adobephotoshop
it doesnt come up with quick actions :(
thank u sir i luv u HAHAHAHAHA
object selection tool testing on a woman
thank you
New version is different
This is so confusing. When I try to use the layer mask it deletes the person, and keeps the background. The opposite of what I'm trying to do.
It's because the selection is selecting the subject, therefore when you add a mask the contents of the selection is removed. That's why you invert the layer mask after to reveal the proper cut out. Press Command/control + I with the mask selected to invert.
Not working
How can anybody follow you? You’re talking so fast I don’t understand. Nothing you’re saying.
It's not fast at all. Go to your settings then you can choose how fast or slow to play your video.
Talks to fast for me
Way too fast to follow
this is white and BLaaq
Why do you talk quickly ????....
none of method is working properly....waste time
useless
Yes make a video on complicated hair removal
Sounds good!
