1. Using the “Select and Mask” Workspace
The “Select and Mask” workspace is a powerful tool in Photoshop designed for handling complex edges like fur, leaves, etc. .
Steps:
- Open your dog photo. Use the Quick Selection Tool or Lasso Tool to make a rough selection around the main body of the dog.

- Go to the top menu and select Select > Select and Mask to enter the workspace.
- Under the “Global Refinements” section, check “Smart Radius” and adjust the slider. This helps Photoshop detect and capture the fine details of the fur.
- Use the “Refine Edge Brush Tool” to paint over the furry areas. Photoshop will automatically process the complex hair, making it look more natural.

- Once satisfied, from the “Output To:” dropdown, choose “New Layer with Layer Mask”. Click OK. You will get a detailed cutout of the dog with its fur preserved.
