Today's Assignment: Making Complex Selections

 Today we are going to focus on making very accurate, complex selections.  Up until this point, we have said that it is extremely difficult to work with detailed objects such as people's hair and branches on a tree. Today we are going to learn how to use the Color Range tool and the Refine Selection Button. These will both help us to achieve our goal in making more accurate selections. Download the PDF file below as well as the sample photo which is also posted below. After we do the demo, you are going to:

  1. Take a picture of a tree and a headshot of a person with spiky or wispy hair. 
  2. Eliminate the background of both pictures.
  3. Add new backgrounds. 
    • Make sure your selections are perfect. This means that no remnants of the original background are still present.
  4. Put both the before and after versions of each picture into a Google doc and share it with me. 
(20 pts.)    5 point penalty for each picture that contains remnants of the original background.
