Right after I posted the previous vid, I finally checked out the newly revamped Refine Edge command in Photoshop CS5. The fact is, masking hair is now child’s play!

Thanks to ‘Edge Detection” technology in the Refine edge dialog box, massaging Alpha Channels and all of the other tricks we’ve learned over the years to extract hair are no longer needed. I have to say, I’m amazed at the results I’m getting with Refine Edge!
