I know that I&#8217;m using a white background here (woudn&#8217;t you shoot against a simple BG if you knew you were going to remove the model from her background?)

Most people don&#8217;t know how to use this powerful tool. Watch the video and get an idea on what you can do. I use RE on almost every selection because of the options that it provides. Here is a little tip. Once you make your selection using the lasso, magic wand, pen tool, quick select, color range or whatever tool you like, you can use refine edge to make it better. Sometimes you won&#8217;t see the option to launch it at the top, what do you do? Very simple, with your selection active, choose any of the selection tools and the refine edge button will appear at the top of the menu bar. Now, use it like normal. The best option when you are finished is the New Layer with Mask option because it offers the most flexibility when you are done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Photoshop CC Selection Secrets<\/h1>\n<h4>New Course by Colin Smith<\/h4>\n<p>Stop struggling with selections.\u00a0Learn how to select and cut out anything from people, hair, trees, complex shapes and even transparency.<br \/>\nDiscover how to get perfect edges, without halos and jaggies.
