Hi MBd, thanks for your reply. Ah, I've seen the video you mentioned. In fact, it was one of the reason I decided to buy the software as I was so impressed with the ability to select fine hair, among others.
However, it didn't work quite well when I tried it on the picture attached (taken with my iPhone, my apology for that) of my cat who has dense, short fur.
Perhaps the reason is one or all of the following:
- the photo quality is bad,
- there is not enough contrast between the subject and background, or
- I simply suck at it.
When I used the refine tool after making a selection with the brush, I got smudgy edges :(. After many failed attempts, I resorted to the technique in the youtube videos, to improve the edges with fake fur after making the selection. Only, I couldn't get the brush to work in smudge brush tool.
