Hello everyone,
this is my first post here, so I hope you'll enjoy the tutorials.

The second tutorial is for more advanced users. It shows a more complex technique to create a layer mask to extract hair or other thin and semi transparent objects:

These are my first video tutorials with these techniques. I might have missed something, so let me know
