As a Creative Cloud subscriber, you gain access to the beta version of Photoshop, where you can test cutting-edge tools before they’re added to the main release. One of these tools is a powerful update to people masking, offering more flexibility directly in Photoshop.
Coming to you from Anthony Morganti, this awesome video highlights how people masking now works in Photoshop without requiring a switch to Adobe Camera Raw. This update simplifies targeting specific facial features like teeth, hair, or eyes for precise adjustments. For example, whitening someone’s teeth is as easy as selecting the object selection tool, isolating the teeth, and applying a Hue/Saturation adjustment. The tool generates masks automatically, streamlining tasks that previously required extra steps.
The video also dives into using the refine edge brush when selections aren’t perfect. If Photoshop’s automatic masking misses some areas, you can refine the selection to add or remove parts of the mask. This feature is particularly useful for intricate details like hair. By allowing adjustments like changing hair color or sharpening eyes with filters, the tool adapts to various editing needs. It's a tool that's sure to increase your editing efficiency, so check out the video above for the full rundown from Morganti.
