selecting and editing a cutout. So now

what we're going to do is we're going to

add in a subject. So we're going to go

into the project folder, Photoshop,

and I'm just going to select this

portrait that I have. Next, we'll flip

the direction. So you can click on this

button here to flip the image. And then

we're just going to drag it over and

increase the size a little bit. And what

we're going to do is we're gonna cut

this image out. We can go ahead and

select subject.

And you'll see that this time it does a

really good job in selecting the

subject. Click the layer mask. And there

we go. So the background has been

removed, but you can still see that

there's a couple of little areas where

it didn't necessarily work. So, making

sure I'm clicked on the mask in the

layers panel, we're going to grab our

paintbrush and paint out those sections

that don't really work as well. Okay.

And over here, it looks like we need to

make the brush a little bit smaller.

Okay. So, we'll just get rid of some of

that. And these are um pretty small

adjustments, but they do make enough of

a difference depending on the size of

the image. So, this one isn't going to

be perfect, but the more time you put

into this to remove the areas, the

better it is. Now, you can see that

there's this little outline kind of

around the shoulder here where the

lighting doesn't quite match with the

background. So, it's kind of like a

white halo. So, I've increased the brush

size and I'm keeping the hardness down

so that we can go around this and we can

just sort of paint right over the edges

here and slightly blend things in to

remove some of that hard edge.
