If there are still problems, they should be manually fixed with the Brush tool set to Normal, using white or black. The edges will become clear and distinct. Next, change to a black brush and repeat.
TOPAZ REMASK 5 HAIR SKIN
First Option/Alt click on the new mask in order to see it. Simply invoke the Brush tool with the foreground color set to white and set the Brush to Overlay in the Options Bar. Then, on the mask, paint over the hard edges of skin and clothing, staying away from the hair. Once you are happy with the mask in the area of the hair, hit the OK button to bring the mask back into Photoshop.ĭealing with the hard edges is easy, and best done in Photoshop. Simply sample the hair color with the green eyedropper that is presented to you, then sample the background color with the red eyedropper, and paint over the problem area. If I see any unwanted original background, the transparency brush works great. To better visualize any problems, I hit the split view button, and hit the Keep button, and add a red background. Once the mask has been computed, I am only concerned with the part of the mask concerning the hair.
We will use this image of the gorgeous Marcela Zuniga as an example: Once in ReMask, you are presented with a green version of your image. Note that the good version has the original file name because the overexposed version has been renamed "temp." Once the model has been retouched, Shift-drag the temporary version with the mask onto the good version, and drag the mask down onto a retouched layer of the model, then delete the overexposed layer. Once Topaz ReMask has rendered your mask, save it to your Desktop under the name "temp." Then go back to Lightroom, hit Reset, and adjust the sliders so the model looks good, and bring this version into Photoshop as well. Don't worry that the model's skin looks blown out and terrible we are only using this overexposed version to get a mask. However, and this is important: if there is not enough contrast between the model's hair and the background, move Lightroom's Exposure slider to the right until you seen nice contrast. I will present some tips that I have learned after using this plugin for several years now.Īfter adjusting the image in Lightroom, I retouch it in Photoshop, then make a "stamped" or "composite" layer with no mask (Option/Alt Merge Visible from the flyout menu of the Layers panel) and invoke ReMask 5 (Filter -> Topaz Labs -> Topaz ReMask 5.). I tried Vertus Fluid Mask, but it didn't even have a user manual! OnOne has a masking plugin that is great, but for some reason I gravitated to ReMask by Topaz. At some point, it is beneficial to settle on a single Photoshop masking plugin and learn its intricacies.
