What I’ve found is that there is no single, simple method that will work for selecting hair. What I have come up with is a method that will work under all circumstances. It is a bit tedious, though. Most of my pictures didn’t have a nice clean background. That made creating a mask difficult.
This was typical. Notice that it’s not easy to even see the hair.

Unlike most graphics programs, Photoshop invests a lot of its capabilities in the keyboard. Literally hundreds of functions are available exclusively at the press of a key. For example, Photoshop provides no menu command that lets you delete multiple layers at a time. There is no command that hides all palettes, nor is there an option that brings up the last-used color-correction settings. Every one of these options is out of your reach if you don’t know the right key. The keyboard may seem like an unlikely artistic tool, but it is both a powerful and an essential ally in Photoshop.

This tutorial will show you how to add a coloured and/or graduated background to your bead photo. You can use Steps 3 and 4 together, or individually depending on the effect you are after. There are many ways of tackling this in Photoshop, but this is my preferred method.

1. Selecting the background
For the purposes of this exercise, I am using the previously cleaned up bead photo from Tutorial 1. A clean and simple background and well defined objects makes this easier to do, but is not essential. In the tools palette select the magic wand and use the following suggested settings.

This page demonstrates how to use Adobe Photoshop to create a transparent area in a GIF image. The most common reason for doing this is to create a transparent background.

Example
This image has no transparency – the background is white. As long as the image is on a white background there’s no problem – it looks transparent anyway.
If the image is placed on a coloured background, the lack of transparency becomes obvious.
If the white background is made transparent the image will blend nicely into (almost) any coloured background.

To create a unique portrait using a custom Stamp built from family photos.
Making your photo Objects:
1. Choose 6 – 10 snapshots family members. The photo you want to use as your main image object should be made from at least a 5″ X 7″, better still, an 8″ X 10″. The other objects should range from 1/2″ to 1″ in height to give your stamp some variation. Scan them into your computer or have a friend do it for you. I sometimes use a digital camera or have a digital version made when my film is processed at my local Photo Center.
