I watch and enjoy all your videos, but this one is outstanding. It clearly demonstrates all options/functionality of selecting a subject . This video really adds value. Thanks so much.
Hi, I watch and like but rarely comment, but this is the best concise demo that I have seen. You have been very explicit which makes following far more easier. Thank you.
THANK YOU Anthony. For some of older psd users, the new tools are overwhelming with many new parameters. I know Adobe means well. Just exploring these from the hip, (as we are wont to do) makes things WORSE. I am grateful for this lucid, practical, evenly paced and understandable guide of a tool we so often need. ~TEU
500% more helpful than Adobe's own explanation of this tool, for which humble thanks, but fact is for everyday pics. outside of studio-type images of the type you demo. here it's bug-y, beastly, next to useless. Believe me I have tried, practically reduced me to tears!
The very best explanation about this more and more complex function! Best tip is how to find the old selection-tool, which I was missing since your fabulous tutorial!
This is the best instructional video I have ever watched. I will now follow all your videos. You definitely have the skill set of both Photoshop and that of an instructor!!!!!!
Very detailed and well explained video Anthony. That this video was >22 minutes compared to your typical video of perhaps 10-15 minutes highlights the complexities of PS vs LR in all of its variants. Thanks and I look forward to next week's classes. I'm in for the VIP level.....because I need repetition ad infinitum.
Hello Anthony, Very Precise but easy Tutorial. Thanks for that. But I have an issue with my PS. I am using Apple M1 Max Studio. But when I go to select and Mask option REAL-TIME REFINEMENT option is grayed out. I am using PS 24.7.0 Version and Beta as well. I have tried to find solutions in various places but no real thing. Can you please help me on this?
Thank you very much, Anthony -- this is the best Select and Mask video I've seen. One question. On my computer (PC, Windows 10) Real-time Refinement is grayed out. Any thoughts?
thanks, that's useful. The one thing I have problems with when doing this stuff is with the +/- quick selection brushes, whatever I do always ends in disaster, are you brushing the selection out or moving/nudging it to where you want it?
Hi Anthony, When I make a selection using the refine brush tool on the hair, for some reason it starts to remove the hair instead of it adding it, would you know why this is happening???
I mostly photograph birds, I edit with LR. When I use select subject, sky, or background I often get a thin halo around the edge feathers. Will using the method in your video help with a more defined edge? Do you have a video which focuses on masking birds? I often feel like the image selected for a video is chosen so it will perfectly reflect the desired outcome however when I try to apply the method to my photos the result is less than perfect. I realize I might be expecting instant perfection and I need to refine my skills. Would love to see a video on masking birds with clear sky and a cluttered background. Thanks for your videos
1:20 I'm running Photoshop 24.0 and the "Select Subject" button that he talks about here does not exist. And the "Select and Mask" button does not exist either.

Anthony, you always offer great tutorials with just a little more info, with less words, than those already out there. Thanx!

The very best explanation about this more and more complex function! Best tip is how to find the old selection-tool, which I was missing since your fabulous tutorial!

Hi Anthony, When I make a selection using the refine brush tool on the hair, for some reason it starts to remove the hair instead of it adding it, would you know why this is happening???
Is this the only way you can go back and re adjust the image mentioned here 20:50 , the only way is the History tab?
where can i bring back the properties in select and mask workspace
I mostly photograph birds, I edit with LR. When I use select subject, sky, or background I often get a thin halo around the edge feathers. Will using the method in your video help with a more defined edge?
Do you have a video which focuses on masking birds?
