Now let's discover another selection method and Photoshop who can be creating a selection based on focus area. So here we have the image of that nice beard, which I don't really know its name, but it's looking nice to meet. Not nice, but he's nice. Anyway, let's try selecting that one using first select subject. Photoshop is doing an amazing job for us already. In that case, our let's say we need to be selecting that go along with that branch.

So I'm going to be selecting that prison model Ctrl D, going to select once again, focus area and it's analyzing the image already. And here we go. We have a selection of that my spirit along with that nice branch. Of course you can be softening edge for your selection which can be nice in that case. And also it can be adding to our selection. So we have that tool in here, we can be going over these parts to add to our selection.

Maybe as opposed to just painting over these areas here as well. And what's really cool is that we can be undoing anything wrong by pressing Command or Control Z. So I was trying to add support to our image. And it's not working that case. So I'm doing that now you can be enhancing or selection later, and also can be removing support. So I'm going to be selecting that tool here and moving that area within our selection, and maybe also don't need that AM.

It's not so crucial for our image. And let's select an edge or we can take it from here and we're going to select a mask where we can smoothing our selection a bit. Even more units on black smoothing or selection once again, can be scoring down. Maybe smoothing even more. And let's zoom in. We can be refining ah maybe for these balls maybe going over the power as one Looking nice we can be applying that handle can be masking that layer, if you want to and can start using that element alone was in our design sometimes might be starting with focus areas and using other selection tools to get a clear selection.

Maybe like that example in here we have misspelt as well. Zooming out a bit, we have select focus area. And sometimes you might need to be playing with in focus range as it's now set to auto and we can be reducing the bit just a bit to see if we can get rid of support from our selection. Now it's not working like that. So maybe a little bit even less. Now we have got rid of support however, we have lost some of our birth details can be adding to our selection just like we did, we can be selected The tool and painting over the port to edit or selection A.

So looks like Photoshop exists to select a box who can take it from here pressing OK. And going for quick selection tool. pressing ALT option key, trying to remove supports in manual way and moving the board as well. Maybe here holding Shift to add these ports to our branch, increasing brush size a bit will make it a bit easier and moving up or pressing all also can be enabling that option here auto enhance to enhance edges. And also for instance, we can be using Elliptical Marquee tool to add to our selection so let me get that one Back to normal and holding Shift key so can be adding to our selection. Remember that we can be repositioning our selection as well holding the spacebar while we are drawing or selection, maybe here. Let me also get rid of fingering as I forgot to reset that one.

And same as with maybe other slides. Tell me what you think or campus boy pressing or maybe we'll take a look like that. Going back to our selection tool Just for better controls if you're using your mouse, adding a bit of rotation to your canvas can be giving you extra control. Maybe switching to lasso tool, pressing shift. I'm trying to show you guys how it can be combining different selection tools to create a precise selection. And also everyone will be having his own selection techniques.

So not everyone will be using the same technique. So some people will be relying heavily on select a must and others will be relying on tools and others will be mixing and matching between them. So feel free to use whatever you feel comfortable with. But make sure to mix between different selection tools and techniques to create your selection easily. Precisely and now we can be getting our canvas bag basing scheme. And now we can enhance our selection even better by choosing select a mask to refine our selection and take it to the next level.

So you can exercise that one yourself and choose me on magenta background or pink backgrounds.
