Photoshop Hair Cutout Techniques: Perfect Dog Photo Background Remover

Today, we introduce three Photoshop hair cutout techniques to help you precisely cut out furry areas from dog photos.

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:

  1. Open your dog photo. Use the Quick Selection Tool or Lasso Tool to make a rough selection around the main body of the dog.

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

2. Background Remover: The AI-Powered Solution in PsAide

For photos with complex, detailed fur, traditional Photoshop tools can sometimes lack precision. Issues like color fringing (background color on hair edges) or leftover background bits are common with challenging subjects like dog fur. This is where the AI-powered Background Remover function in the PsAide plugin offers an efficient and precise solution.

Steps:

  1. With your dog photo open in Photoshop, navigate to the PsAide panel.
  2. Find and select the Background Remover function.
