masking hair

[Lisa Saldin]

what is the best way I can mask around their hair? I hope I don't have to start all over because it took so long to go around everything. Thanks., let me know if you need the full picture.

May I have the backstory?  What was behind them before?

[Lisa Saldin]

it was this one from the levels class, I bought this new background and wanted to try a composite.

I messed around with the oldest one...., I have never used this site before, I guess I maxed my photo amount. is there any way I can delete the last picture?

[Damien Symonds]

I don't know why it does that, sorry.  If you log out then log back in again it should work ok.

[Lisa Saldin]

passable? I have no idea on the little guy though. Thanks!

[Damien Symonds]

You probably need to use the eyedropper to match the old background colour to the new.

Your masking around his cheek isn't great.

[Lisa Saldin]

is this looking okay?

 

[Damien Symonds]

No   But I don't think it's possible to do any better.

[Lisa Saldin]

thanks, its just for me, so I guess ill keep trying to make it look somewhat okay. I have spent so much time on this, does this even look okay so far?

[Damien Symonds]

Oh yeah, it looks wonderful!

[Lisa Saldin]

Thank you, you just made my day...my first time really doing a composite....so if I do one again, is it better to have a plain background behind my boys? 

[Damien Symonds]

Well, it would be best to have a background that was as similar as possible to the one you intended to transpose.

[Lisa Saldin]

Alright, thanks!
