Step 1
Open image of the model. Double-click with left mouse button on it to unlock the Background
layer. Duplicate it using Ctrl+J, then hit Ctrl+L (Levels) over the duplicated layer. Set it as shown
in the second image below. You can go even little bit further with the darkening.

Step 2
Now select Brush Tool (B), hit D on keyboard to bring colors to default and set your foreground
brush color to black. Make sure all your brush options are set to 100% and then paint in the
same layer, over the light spots to fill them up with black.
5 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 3
Now go to Select > Color Range and use the same settings as shown below. Press OK and then
go to Layers Palette and turn off the visibility of the duplicated layer. Your screen should now
look exactly like the second image below.

Step 4
Select model layer and click on the Layer Mask button. Now you can just delete the model
copy layer, as we wont be using it anymore. We needed it only for extraction.
So this was an alternative way for some cutting out, usually people use Channels to do this. But
isnt this fun to learn something different?
8 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 5
Lets dont get so excited, as this is only the first stage of the extraction, now were going to
need to blend this model with a desired background. So create a new layer below the model,
grab Paint Bucket (G) and fill it with black color. As you see there are still some white edges. The
9 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
cut out never works perfectly, so you either have to blend it properly or just do some more
accurate extraction.
Step 6
Now lets go to Layers Palette, right-click on the model layer mask and select Apply Layer
Mask. Next hold Ctrl and left-click on the model layer thumbnail, this should bring up the
selection.
10 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 7
Select the model layer and hit Ctrl+Alt+R (Refine Edge). Use the same or similar settings as
mine. You should see on the live preview on image how its working. When your done apply it by
hitting OK.
Output will create another layer with the settings below applied, so you can just basically delete
or just turn off the previous layer. Its up to you.
11 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 8
We still have some white edges left, especially over hair and clothes that she holds. Basically, at
that point I decided to cut some hair totally and dont play around with further extraction. We
want to create some cool light effects over the model, not to do a full and elegant retouch after
all. Ive indicated spots that you might find useful to get rid of. But before you start some erasing,
move onto the next step.
12 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 9
Grab Brush Tool (B), set it all the way to 100%, but decrease the Spacing to 1% and check the
Smoothing option. Again use black color for painting and go to Layer Mask of the model layer.
Now paint over the Layer Mask, in indicated spots, referring to step 8.
You should handle this easily by mouse, 1% spacing lets you to give a very accurate erasing.
13 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
When something goes wrong you can always undo the masking by painting with white on mask.
Step 10
You should achieve similar results to mine if you painted accurately. Now pay attention to the red
line surrounding the model. Its indicating how were going to shade her to make her body and
clothes blend with the background better. So go to Layers Palette, create new layer above
model and hit Ctrl+Alt+G, this will create a Clipping Mask (and it should look like you see in the
preview below).
14 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 11
Set your brush options as shown below and reduce the Flow option of brush to 5%. Next, pick
#572e16 color and paint on the shading layer as indicated in previous step. Do it along the
suggested red line and trust your own taste of where to add more and where less.
15 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 12
Great! Look at the comparison, the light edges completely disappeared now.
16 sur 20 28/10/2014 13:52
Step 13
Now go to Layers Palette, make sure youre on the shading layer (the last one created as
Clipping Mask). Add Curves adjustment layer on the top, select it and hit Ctrl+Alt+G (Clipping
Mask). Then grab Paint Bucket (G), pick black color and fill Curves layer mask with black (1
image below).
Next, as indicated in the second image below, grab soft brush (with the same settings as in step
11). Then use white color and paint over the layer mask as indicated with green color. The basic
idea is to enhance the shadows and blend the character more to the background.
The next images show you how your layer mask should look after painting and the result of
painting over Curves adjustment layer mask.

Step 14
Now create another new layer above Curves, use Clipping Mask as previously. Change its
Blending Mode to Multiply. Next grab Brush Tool (B) with the same settings as in step 11, and
paint using #dac5b5 color in spots indicated below. Do not pay attention on the selection, I just
used it to show you where to enhance the shadows, you dont need to create that.
