Tutorials about achieving white backgrounds in your portrait and background around hair

[EmmaBrett]

I have read your two tutorials Achieving a white background in your portraits and the advanced one replacing a background around hair and have a question. When I did my canvas and had to change the background from either a coloured pattern or a coloured background I used an adjustment colour fill layer and masked all around the person sometimes adding extra layers and using blend modes. I'm not questioning you just curious why you use a different method in your tutorials to my canvas method and when would you use either method in a situation over another method?

Horses for courses.  Your job was very specific, owing to the nature of the three photos you started with.
