A_B_C Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi photofriend, here’s a quick way to do it: Use the selection brush to select the flower (A.) Hit refine from the context toolbar and trace the edges, either all of them or just where it is required, with the refine selection brush (B.) Choose “New layer with mask” and hit apply (C.) Create a new pixel layer in the layers panel and place it underneath the masked layer that contains the flower (D.) Select the pixel layer and choose Edit > Fill … Hope that helps … Alex :) MacGueurle, MattP, ronnyb and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
