Another amazing tutorial. Thank you so much Rick. My week-old PSE2020 becomes clearer every time I head for your channel. Thanks also for the tips and tricks emails. Marion in the UK.
Rick, nice job! This is always a problem, thanks for going through the whole process. I think your example was a great test subject, a very hard to select picture, you got around this without no magic wand or anything!!!!! Great job buddy, thanks for sharing! Rich
This is an excellent tutorial for replacing a background. I have always wanted to do this, but every time I tried removing the background with the selection the result looked awful. I will be using this technique from now on. I always learn something useful from your videos. Thank you.
I tried this technique with a photo I just shot during the winter. There is no green leaves, only brown tree trunks. I could not get the color chanels to work since there is not a brown option. The limbs became blown out enough that the blend mode of Darker Color just didn't help. But I do appreciate the ability to do this during the rest of the year.
WOW!!! Thanks for doing this for me. There sure are a lot of steps but the end result is great! And, as MrMoonpie001 said, you don't have to use the Magic Wand, which would be next to impossible in this case. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. As always, your videos are really helpful and well explained. Take care. Stephen
This was a great tutorial in that you told all the steps, but I would like to know why you are doing the steps. Like why did you use black in some areas vs. the white for the masking? Overall however, this is a pretty good tutorial.
Rick, Great tutorial love the detail. Three quick questions if I may. I have photo taken in the fall leaves are redish or orangish where you pick green color and change to that should I be trying to find a color to replace the green closer to red / orange in my photo ? In the written description where u copy and paste into black and white layer into Layer mask for layer 2 should the shortcut read Control V instead of Control C ? In beginning of Video you indicate changes needed for PS 9 and 10 , I'm running PS10 i can get all the way to Step Three, but from there on I just can't get it done. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Best Regards
Could this also be used to isolate line drawings? I have scanned drawings that I would like to have the white background replaced with a transparent layer.
very interesting but complicated. It will take a number of tries to get this technique down. Thanks. I was never able to reproduce it. I got lost about 2/3 of the way through.
Hi Rick, I managed to add a black background behind a plant, by following your instructions. Ideally, I would like to know exactly what each step does and how you arrived at it. However, my effort worked almost 100%, except that I could not remove the white hallo around the green leaves, although I tried your receipe (blending with dark or darker color). Can I send you the image by email?
Hi Hunter I purchased your Seamless sky replacement action for Photoshop, but it doesn't look like what you show in your video; I don't see the 'sky replacement workflow option' anywhere.
@@EssentialPSElements A written version would be great Rick, as I cannot get this right even though I followed your instruction to the letter. Some of the layers do not appear in the layers panel as I follow you along. (I'm using PE9 and PE14) Thanks for all the tips available. You are by far the most interesting tutor on line. Easy to follow and nothing left out in your presentation. Clearly and softly spoken as well. :) Jim
I learned a lot about several techniques from this old video. Best PSE instructions channel on UA-cam. I hope you are still active.
Thanks Rick! Your videos are the best in category! Keep up the great work!
Another awesome tutorial. With your ease of teaching and calm voice, even a scaredy cat like me says I can do this. Thanks Rick.
Haha, you CAN do it Cynthia! Thanks for your comments.
Rick, just outstanding as usual. Thanks so much, i could have never done this without your teaching...
Great tutorial, Thanks so much, worked perfectly and nice slow easy to understand instructions ❤

rick that was wonderful a great job done all the best from trev in lockdown England
Glad you liked it. Stay safe!
Great video. No nonsense, just the process. Makes a complicated process very doable for the amateur. thanks
Phenomenal video! Definitely the best I've found for this photoshop technique. Thank you!
Great job illustrating and explaining this technique. This looks like it could be a "work around"/alternate technique for the refine edge tool.
Good observation. I did explore using the Refine Edge tool but there were too many "inside" areas for it to work well.
Rick, nice job! This is always a problem, thanks for going through the whole process. I think your example was a great test subject, a very hard to select picture, you got around this without no magic wand or anything!!!!! Great job buddy, thanks for sharing!

Hey Sandy glad you will be able to use this technique. Thanks for your comments.

The limbs became blown out enough that the blend mode of Darker Color just didn't help. But I do appreciate the ability to do this during the rest of the year.
Fantastic tutorial - thanks!!
Awesome technique. Definitely masters degree level.
Yeah it is pretty involved, but if you take it one step at a time it is doable. Thanks Walter.
WOW!!! Thanks for doing this for me. There sure are a lot of steps but the end result is great! And, as MrMoonpie001 said, you don't have to use the Magic Wand, which would be next to impossible in this case.

No problem Stephen, you gave me the push I needed to do this video. And thanks for providing the photo!
This is an excellent tutorial rick,as you said trcky, but after watching I now know I can do it with ease.
You have a great technique, here Rick, thanks.
Thanks John, glad you like it.
great explanation and technique. thanks!
Great Video Rick, Thank you!!!
You're welcome, glad you like it!
at last finally a simple method to get rid of that dreaded grey fringing thank you
Very well explained, lots of steps to go, but should be possible for me to do. Thank you!!
There are lots of steps but it calls on lots of techniques that can be used for other editing projects.
Excellent. Thanks for the video.

great video is there a written instruction for this video
Thanks man! I'm working on the written version. I will put a link in the UA-cam description when it's done. Might take a few days!

err...this is a bit beyond my beginner's mind. Will revisit down the track.
