Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, a blue-eyed kitten with soft fur on its ears and cheeks, neatly selected, then placed on a new toska-colored background. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Hair and fur are the biggest challenge in selection. The Leg and Mask workspace has a Refine Edge Brush that calculates transparency strand by strand. Today we'll practice on a smooth-furred kitten.

Step 1: Initial Selection

Open the kitten photo. Select Si Leg, Subject for the initial selection. The result is already good on the body part, but the edges of the ears and the fur on the cheeks are still hard, and part of the orange background is also selected.

Step 2: Enter Select and Mask

Press Alt-Ctrl-R or select Si Leg, Si Leg and Mask. A dedicated workspace opens with the Properties panel on the right. Select the On Block view, the unselected area becomes black, making the fur edges clearly visible.

Step 3: Edge Detection

On Edge Detection, increase the radius to 8 pixels and check Smart Radius. Photoshop analyzes the strip of that width along the edge and determines which is fur and which is background.

Step 4: Refine Edge Brush

Select Refine Edge Brush on the left, then brush along the edge of the left ear, head, and right ear, as well as the fur on the cheeks. The strands of fur that were previously cut now reappear with smooth transparency.

Step 5: Overlay View and Output

Change the view to overlay to check, the red area is the unselected part. Once neat, set Output 2 to Layer Mask, then click OK. The kitten layer now has a mask that preserves all the fur details.

Step 6: New Background

Create a new layer below the kitten. Name it Background, then drag a Tosca gradient from 2A8A8A to 0A3B43 using the Gradient Tool.

6: New Background

The soft fur on the ears now blends seamlessly with the new background without harsh edges. Zoom in on the ears to see the details of the fur strands, then save as PSD and export as JPG.

Done!

Done. We've used Select Subject, Select and Mask workspace, On Block and Overlay views, Radius and Smart Radius. Refine Edge Brush, Output to Layer Mask, and new layer. In the next episode, we'll use the Pen Tool for precise product selection. Need to edit product photos for marketplaces, retouch images, design posters, or social media content?
