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. This tool also includes a very powerful sub tool called the REFINE EDGES tool, using the refine edges tool will greatly help and speed up editing tasks especially when you need to select out the hair or fur on subjects. 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.

Blog - URBAN-MUSE - "Purity, Love, and the Impossible Dream" Chiara Bautista is not like everyone else. Chiara creates art for all of the right reasons and none of the wrong ones. She doesn't create art for you and I. She has created an entirely private visual narrative between herself, and her muse, Ilka. We have been mulling this feature and interview in our head for about a year, and we weren't quite sure how to go about it. A quote from one of her paintings "Oh my Deer:" - "I'll die the day you find me... & I'll die the day you die." When you look at her work, you are not looking at simple paintings or illustrations, you are looking at the visual embodiments of her lovenotes to her untouchable, and unattainable muse. The Tragedy of Milk and Ilka, has existed for years, with one of the earliest works being signed in 2005, it's heartbreaking visuals seem to only escalate with every passing year. Chiara's work is some of the most virally traded imagery we have ever seen in all of our years involved with viewing art on the internet. Mr. MAKE ART.
