cut out hair from little contrasting background
After reading the posts about cutting out objects, hair and tree branches, I still haven’t got a clear answer to my question.
I’m cutting out a girl with kinda long hair. I’m doing this by dodging and burning several channels of the image and inverting and combining the results to get a good selection. So far, so good. But the hair is a problem. Because the background isn’t really contrasting, I can’t mask the hair properly and I don’t really like to brush on pixel level.
Is there an easy solution for my problem? By the way, this is the picture I’m working on.Stuffy

As far as I know, there is no easy way to do this if you can’t get can’t get good contrast. I did take you image and converted it to CYMK just to make a mask, and I did have a little more luck using the Magenta channel. You might want to try that (Make a copy, not the original) and them copy it back into the RGB version to use as a mask. I did not have enough time to really do a lot.
Personally, if I can help it, I just get rid of the soft whispy hairs and only use the main hair. I know sometimes it’s not possible. I just clone out the pain in the butt stuff.
