This is the final result of this episode, the red-golden costume dancer stands out, while the crowd behind her turns into black and white and soft. The entire selection was made automatically. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Photoshop Modern has AI-based selection tools, Select Subject and Object Selection. Today we're using them to separate the dancer from the busy street scene.
Open the photo of the dancer on the street. The subject is clear, but the background is busy, with people, bikes, and colored boards. This is the most frustrating situation when selecting manually. Select the Object Selection Tool or Press O. The mode in the Options Bar is Rectangle. Draw a loose box around the dancer, from the left fingertip to the right fingertip. Photoshop analyzes the content of the box and selects the main object inside it.
Another way is the Select Subject button in the Options Bar, or the menu Select > Subject. Photoshop searches for the most prominent subject in the entire photo without us drawing anything. For portrait and product photos, this single click is often enough.
Press Ctrl J to copy the dancer to a new layer and name it Dancer.
The background layer below is now free for us to edit without touching the dancer.
Select the background layer and press Shift Ctrl U to desaturate.
The crowd behind turns gray, while the dancer on the top layer remains colorful.
To make the dancer even more prominent, apply Gaussian Blur with a radius of 6 pixels on the background layer.
The depth of the space feels like in a photo with a telephoto lens.
Zoom in on the hand and bracelet to check the result of the automatic selection.
Go back to full view, then save as PSD and export JPG. Done. We've used object selection with a box, select subject with one click, copied the subject layer, created a black and white background, and added blur. In the next episode, we'll use select sky to replace the sky.
