Hi Kristina! This has been super helpful, thank you! Would you use the same “brush” for flyaways on face? Also not related to this specific topic but related to hair; do you have any video to add shine to hair? Thanks again!

[@SharkPixel]

Hi! I would use the same settings across a face. Using content aware can actually recreate an eye under a fly away hair I removed. INSANE! I do have how to add shine to hair but its in my 1.5 hour course on hair retouching which is available on SharkPixel.com - good idea for a youtube video though!

Thank you...photoshop is so intimidating to me...but trying

[@SharkPixel]

It's quite intimidating. One tip I suggest to people is pick a single (new) menu item each day that you aren't familiar with. Then google it and figure out what it does! This will help you incrementally increase your knowledge of the program.

[@pamcallahan7355]

Great video....Once you have completed the removal of fly-away hairs, how to you combine the background layer and the fly-away hair layer?

[@laticisimagery]

Hi Pam, depending on what stage of the editing process you are in the best process will vary but to keep the answer simple.
Right Click on the layer and merge down or merge visible.
Also google "Photoshop Stamp Visible" - personally I'm not a fan of keyboard shortcuts.

[@SharkPixel]

@@laticisimagery thanks for the support and answer! I don't necessarily think it's imperative to flatten/merge. But some people like to. So like you said, the best process varies!

[@SharkPixel]

Hi Pam! Thanks for watching. Can I ask why you would like to combine the background first? That may help me answer the question a little better.

[@laticisimagery]

@@SharkPixel no probs at all 😊 I agree. That being said, pending a persons PC capabilities, sometimes less layers could be helpful.

[@pamcallahan7355]

@@laticisimagery thank you!!
