Photoshop Tutorial - Refine Edge Tool, Mask Edge & Mask Palette

Running Time: 11 minutes

This Photoshop tutorial video is going to cover the Refine Edge Tool. We are going to combine two completely different images into a single photograph. The goal of this video to take you out of your comfort zone, and show you a new way to work.

In this example, I use the Refine Edge to extract the hair from a colorful flow background, and place the image onto a blue gradient with near seemless results.
