Isolation Tutorial (Advanced)     posted on 18th of january, 2008

Did you really think I got four exceptionally well trained giraffes to pose calmly in my super-sized snow-white studio with a hundred gigantic light boxes? Na-hah! Actually, I got them in their natural habitat amidst a peaceful green-filled landscape. And then I put my photoshop hat on and went to work. The end result is much more fun and much more useful to designers than the original, featured on the right

Yesterday, I posted the link to the the first installment of the isolation tutorial. It covers using levels, magic wand, pen, and eraser tool approaches to isolating simple objects. Today, I finished the second installment to this tutorial - advanced isolation. It deals with isolation of hairy and furry and fluffy subjects: I use the "giraffes" example to show how you can use "pulling", "painting" and "dodging" strategies for isolations.

As always, I would really appreciate your feedback as I am hoping these and my future tutorials will evolve and improve!

Excellent tutorial with a brilliant outcome. Glad to know you didn't have all those animals in your studio. I was a little bit jealous of how big your studio is :-) - posted by Sophieso on June 26, 2009
