Cut Out Dark Hair from Dark Background in Photoshop!

If selecting hair in Photoshop wasn't infamous enough, imagine how notorious it can be to select hair where there is no contrast between the hair and the background! Yes, we are talking about masking either dark hair on a dark background or lighter hair on a bright background. Is it possible? Definitely! There is hope here.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to manually cut out beautiful hair no matter what the situation or the background conditions are. Using advanced hair brushes, we will learn how to actually paint back the hair edge, and then with other varieties of dense and open brushes, we will make the hair masking look natural and realistic.
In addition to that, we will also paint actual hair to add more depth and volume. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

How to convert night to day?

[@aarushchitale3665]

By sleeping at night

[@namandixit6358]

@@aarushchitale3665 thats what school didn't taught me

[@jp1prime]

@@namandixit6358 it's easy. Use color lookup table to get ur base effect for night 👍. Thn adjust it with exposure or curves. U can also reduce saturation of the img form dark parts with hue adjustment layer for little bit realistic tone. If there is a sunny background manualy remove sun and extreme highlighted areas or just replace the sky itself. 👍 With this ur base day to night compostie will be ready. Offcourse u can keep tweaking it until it's perfect
