Photoshop tutorial: cut-out hair from background

This post from @smart.graphicss on Threads shares a Photoshop technique focused on cutting out hair from a background—a notoriously tricky part of image editing. The visual guide shows the use of advanced selection tools like “Select and Mask,” which allows users to isolate fine hair strands without sacrificing image quality. By demonstrating the technique visually, the post helps designers and editors understand how to refine edges around complex areas such as hair for clean, professional background removal.

This tutorial is especially useful for photographers, graphic designers, and anyone involved in visual content creation who frequently works with portraits or needs precise subject isolation. The clear before-and-after comparison and the in-app screenshot offer practical insight into tool settings and expected results, making it easier to replicate the effect.
