The Power of Photoshop’s Refine Edge Tool One of the most difficult and frustrating tasks in Photoshop is making a clean and decent selection on photos that involve super fine hair, fur, leaves, and any fiber like elements. When using the standard selection tool or the masking process, you may able to accurately select smooth edges. We may use the color range tool and the tweaking of levels and channels to select much difficult areas but that would also take too much time on manipulation and very complicated to follow. The good news is that, PS5 or Photoshop CS5 has a tool called the QUICK SELECTION tool. For example, we have here a wonderful haircut. Normally we would start at the marquee tool. Now when you have selected the necessary parts, find the Refine Edges option found at the right top area. On the strip image below, you can that I am using the black and white as the view mode, because we can clearly see the effectiveness of the tool. After that, we can now remove or apply a masking layer to remove the background.
