  Hi valeron,

  Great tutorial and techniques well explained, by the way you didnt provide any link to the stock image you used , is it free or a premium one, please make sure that your provide link [no matter free or premium] to the appropriate resources next time so that it will be easier to practice with…
  Thanks a lot for sharing….

  first of all it’s a very good tutorial, and a nice job sharing it, and I think, you should have mentioned that this tut. is for CS4, the extract plugin doesn’t exist in CS5, and it exists you should mention how to add it

  any way thanks for the nice tutorial

  Didn’t had the time to read the whole tutorial but by scanning through it it looks like a very good step by step tutorial. The only thing missing is the link to the stockphoto you used.

  cheers,
  Jordy

  Wow, it’s quite simple and very useful to select inner edges of hairs.

  It’s a good tutorial but it doesn’t work for CS5… The filter is gone in this version… You should warn about that…

  The only thing I would like to see is if you could do this with someone who has at least one flyaway. You did your effect well, but then again, you picked someone’s hair that was perfect and therefore easy to select. I’d like to see a tut explaining how to select hair when it is not all neat and tidy like this one.

  Still a good tutorial though.

  Thank u for this tut. but the Extract filter does not work with PSCS5. but you can use the “Quick selection” tool + Refine Edges to get a better output in CS5.. its far better than this technique. try it. there are good tutorials in web, explaining the technique

  In CS5 they modified them into “not-filter” functions. Try Selection>refine edge and tune these atributes much better than in extract filter.

  Excellent tutorial, I usually spend hours messing with the lasso tool but this is a much better way. Thanks
