Selections in Photoshop are getting quicker and easier, and in this video I look at what was in the Photoshop Beta at the time. Not only is there Select People, but there are also attributes you can choose from, including items such as upper clothing, lower clothing and accessories. It means you can pick out a specific part of a person with very little effort, rather than building the selection by hand.
How to make multiple selections of the same fixed shape in Photoshop is something I get asked about quite often, so I put together this very quick video to show how it's done. Rather than drawing each selection by hand and trying to match the size every time, you'll see how to keep the shape fixed and add as many selections as you need.
This is a YouTube live broadcast from Sunday 13th August 2023, where I go through how I created a movie poster style portrait of my friend Dai O'Toole. I cover the lighting first, and then the editing in Lightroom and Photoshop, including selections, cut-outs and special effects, along with how AI fits into the process. It's a complete look at what goes into making a movie-style portrait, from the way the light is set up through to the finishing touches in Photoshop.
