Blanket fade tutorial

[Adanzilophotography]

Hi! I am looking for assistance when following your step by step on the blanket fade tutorial. When going to single color after lasso my object within the lasso (baby) changes to the solid color vs everything outside of the lasso. What could I be doing wrong ?

Can you show me a screenshot?  Make sure the entire screen is in the screenshot, and make sure you have the lasso tool selected.
