Guys, Making a selection directly on the extracted image and then using CTRL C and CTRL V makes another layer with a Mask which I do not want. I just want a selection of the hair area from the extracted image. What am I doing wrong ? Why is creating a new layer with mask?

I have an image which I have extracted from the background and applied Mask to it and Let's say from that image if I want to use some hair which is near the ear of the subject on the right side ear and I want to recreate and use those hair on the other side, left side of the ear. Can I make a selection of the hair from the already extracted image which I have created and applied Mask to or will I have to make a new selection of the hair from the original image and then use it ? The reason I want to use the hair from the extracted image with a mask is because the hair in that image is refined and worked upon so it gives me a good selection.

How did you get that Grass on that Rocky area of the Mountain ?

Now, before someone points out that I have asked similar question in the past. lol ! I know there are people here who would jump on to first pointing out that I am asking repetitive question, so let me clear it out, this is different, in the past what I have asked is brightening one side of the photo, but this photo that I have uploaded if you see there is a shadow on the left side of the mountain and my question is not about Brightening what if I want to remove the shadow from this picture and make that area of the mountain look sunny is that possible? Look forward to your responses. TIA !

I do not want to do it to anyone, This Forum and the people here have helped me and made me learn a lot of things. but with this guy this is a marked observation and experience over a period of time and his back to back kind of accumulated replies to my posts. If you go through all his post on my threads it is all criticizing, blaming, trying to condescend me. Do you not see the insult all that causes to me. is he a forum moderator here ? How much does one take on ?

All your comments here are as.if you are the Gate Keeper the Administrator here (Which sadly you are not) of what was discussed before and what could not be discussed again. There is hardly any help in any of your comments here. Those are all Sarcastic Comments. Why don't you just let peace be here by not commenting on my threads atall. I do not enjoy it like reading your comments as there is no help in it. Only blood boiling and provoking comments that you make here. I have put you on an ignore list but still this forum let's you comment on my threads. @Dan C This guy is a repeated offender !!

What is the hardness and Flow that I should keep while.dong this ?

Well ! This is a little too complicated for my Brain to Process....

But that would still make it look darker I want still lighter and brighter.

Hi Guys, I need some help, If you have a Look at this photo, the area near the eye which is touching the nose. The inside of the eye which is touching the nose looks very dark. What is the best way to lighten it ? I tried using brightness and contrast adjustment but it is not giving a very natural look is looking very unnatural. How else can I brighten that area ?

Also from what I understand on this is, Basically Opacity and Hardness is got to do with how intensely you want to draw and Flow is all about releasing colour how much colour do you wanna release per stroke. But how does one decide in what circumstances how much percentage of Opacity, Flow and Hardness should I select ? That is what my core question is ?

Thanks @smadell and @iconoclast for the explanation. What I was also looking was an example like, lets say painting with a Brush on an adjustment layer that you have applied lets say you have used frequency separation on a portrait photo and then you are working on low frequency to reduce the skin colour irregularities, in situations like this you want to use a low flow because you suddenly do not want a spot on the face to look too dark or too light. That way I was asking you guys if you can give me an example, that would kind of better print the concept in my Brain. That's what I was saying...

Didn't understand this too well ? Can you give any example ? So why and when would you use 0% Flow ? I have seen some guys select 0% Flow in some cases. Why would you use and in what scenarios would you use 0% Flow ?

I often get way too confused between how much Hardness to keep and How much Flow to keep and which is more severe ? And in what scenario what needs to be increased or has to be reduced

Ok so you’re saying if I want to apply the adjustment at multiple different places and those are a different spot and locations best way is to invert the adjustment and then paint in white to the areas where you want to apply, that’s what you saying right?

That is a Great Explanation and great work to take all the effort and make those videos, that really helped. Thanks for it. Just one more question lets say if I want to reduce the Hue which is scattered over the face for e.g. Forehead, Nose and Cheeks, and I need to make three different selections, so how do I cut the selection at one place and again continue at other ?

So I have some questions here to begin with. Let’s say after starting the project, if I have already made a duplicate layer, are you saying when you make a selection of just the forehead you again created a duplicate layer of that? Also when you make a selection don’t you need to add a mask, apply a mask to it to start working only on the selected area or if you make a selection as in this case, you made a selection and then duplicated the layer and then directly started applying the adjustments to it and it and it was only working on the forehead area is that how it works ? So to use this method you are saying you can add a selective colour adjustment, place it above the main subject layer and directly start making adjustment to the selective layer, or if you want to apply it only to a certain area you will still have to make a selection and leave it there or add a mask to it ?

Can you tell me how did you just make a selection of the forehead and work on it ?

So how did you only select the Forehead on the Photo ? And when you say put it on separate layer as in how did you create a separate layer ? And what if someone wants to work on Forehead and cheeks and chin then ? How can you make separate sections for separate areas then ?

Sorry for the delay. Here you go. If I want to reduce or get rid of this kind of discoloration on the skin what is the best way to do it ? How do I pick this colour in the Picker tool provided in the HSL tool ?

Select an area of only greyish tint in a face in a photo how do you do that ?
