How to mask hair in Photoshop
There are more ways to mask hair in Photoshop than you may have thought possible. When I first started out with Photoshop, I had never heard of feathering and was only aware of the quick selection tool (which sometimes works well), and the magic wand tool which only works well on images where the hair was black and white or not so similar in tone to the background.
I used to regularly mask out my model’s hair by using an airbrush set to 50% opacity at 2-3% hardness, painting over the top of her hair. It worked for me at that time but looking back now, it taught me some bad habits: it didn’t really matter how accurate I was when masking out her hair because I could easily clean up these unwanted edits with a paintbrush at a later stage. This didn’t build up my technique or develop my ability as an artist (and therefore a retoucher)…you could say instead it was an exercise in laziness!
So, I’ve done a few tests for this tutorial and wanted to share with you the most efficient and accurate ways of masking hair.
Hiding hair with the Quick Selection tool
If your subject’s hair is quite light in tone then the Quick Selection tool can be very useful in selecting it. Brush over the top of her hair (or tap on the Q key) then once you have got a selection, hold down Ctrl+Shift on your keyboard while using an airbrush set to 50% opacity at 2-3% hardness and paint over her hair. This should mask out the majority of her hair but if there are any stray strands left behind then use a small soft brush (B) to brush over these areas. If you find that Photoshop automatically tries to expand your selection too much then hold down Option (Alt) on your keyboard while brushing over unwanted areas. This will add to these areas instead of expanding.
Hiding hair with the Pen tool
If your subject has very dark hair then using a quick selection may not work as effectively but in that case, the Pen tool could be ideal for selecting her hair. Press P on your keyboard to select it and then make a series of points around her hair, avoiding the background and any skin if possible. Once you have done this, hold down Alt while clicking one of the first points you created and then drag over the rest of her hair until it is selected. Use a small feathered brush (B) to paint over any ‘stray’ strands. If you find that Photoshop automatically tries to expand your selection by connecting all of your points too much then hold down Option (Alt) on your keyboard while brushing over unwanted areas. This will add to these areas instead of expanding.
Using Quick Mask
You can also use Quick Mask with either of these methods for more accurate masking (this works in Photoshop and Elements).
Method 1: Using Quick Mask
Open the image that you wish to mask, click on the Quick Mask icon in the Toolbox and then select a large, soft-edged brush from the Brush Picker. Press D on your keyboard to reset the foreground and background colors to black and white. Paint over any areas of your subject that you want to be in front of your background. Use something like an A15 brush for most of her body; this is a big brush with soft edges. If you want to paint around her hair or in tight areas then choose a smaller brush such as an A5.
Pressing D resets the foreground and background colors.
Click on the Quick Mask icon again when you are done. This will show a Quick Mask selection instead of whatever was selected before (if anything was selected before). If it didn’t work, click on Refine Edge again and carry out a similar procedure but this time use the Quick Mask option.
When you are happy with your mask, hide the Quick Mask panel by clicking on the eye icon at the top right of the panel.
Method 2: Using Smart Brush
Open your photograph and then follow these very simple steps:
1. Click on the Brush Picker icon in the Canvas Dock at the top of your screen. Select a small soft-edged brush from this menu and press D to reset all the colors to black and white (see Figure 9-14).
Figure 9-14: Setting up for Smart Brush
2. Click once in an area where you would like to add a background or foreground element that will be removed from your image when finished painting. This will be referred to as your “reference point” in this book. For example, you could click directly over her face using a soft-edged brush to create an image mask for this part of the photo

The Guidelines For Ensuring Compliance With Amazon Image Requirements
The most important element of the Amazon digital photo album is images. Fortunately, the Amazon photo requirements are quite easy to understand. You should adhere to all rules, even if your intention is to modify product photos. Even the product photos don't just display on the product page, they also appear on related search results.
📷
The second section of Amazon image requirements states that a primary listing image must be used for every 100 instances of an extended title/description. A first image is required for each new listing and it's possible to use other images in the first listing if you want. It's important to note that neither of these images is supposed to take up a full width on any part of the page. Any image which looks stretched out or jerky is immediately rejected.
Another important requirement is that you should provide different types of photo editing tools to create the images. You can crop or expand the image to create additional images. It is important to consider what effect you want on the background. In general, images that are created using the photo editing tools provided by the photo-sharing site will be displayed as white. Black should be used for the main and any additional images.
The third and final section consists of some general information. It contains information about the location and dimensions of the images. The Amazon image requirements also indicate whether the images may be used in combination with other graphics. You may have to include a picture of a bow, or flower in your product description.
Amazon photo uploaders set out specific guidelines for which images can be combined. A photo book that only shows the product as one item is impossible to make. Resized images that do not meet the requirements will be refused. You will instead need to link to the page which contains your selection. It is recommended that you allow the viewer to modify the images as well.
The type of the Amazon image uploading service you are using will determine the photo-editing tools required to achieve the desired results. The Amazon image requirements will specify the minimum number of pixels that need to be present on the main image file. The number of additional images that you can include in the project will depend on the product description that you have provided. You will need to specify the dimensions and size of each image.
These guidelines give specific guidance on what colors you may use for your product photos. You may want to consider the proper formatting of your images before uploading them. To avoid any problems when uploading files, you should make sure you read all instructions. Amazon allows you to upload product images in two file formats. The JPEG and PNG formats are available.
The Amazon image guidelines will inform you that images can only be viewed in color mode if the product photos are uploaded in the JPEG format. Amazon color mode ensures that colors appear natural in the uploaded photos. Only certain web browsers can access the Amazon color mode, like Safari. It is important that you have an Internet browser capable of switching to color mode whenever it is needed.
