Bonne explication de la technique des canaux pour détourer les cheveux, même si j'aurais aimé un exemple avec un fond très sombre en plus.

O curso explica muito bem a técnica de canais para recortar cabelo, só senti falta de mais exemplos com fundos escuros.
Наконец-то разобралась с выделением волос без мучений с ластиком. Автор подробно показывает работу с каналами и уточнение края, объясняет, почему обычная кисть-маска не справляется со сложным фоном. После третьего урока я сама вырезала портрет с растрёпанными волосами и осталась довольна результатом.
Je galérais depuis des mois avec les sélections de cheveux dans Photoshop, toujours avec des bords baveux ou des mèches coupées net. Ce cours reprend calmement chaque étape, du mode masque de calque jusqu'au raffinage des contours avec l'outil sélectionner et masquer. Le formateur prend le temps de montrer plusieurs cas concrets, pas seulement un exemple facile filmé sous un éclairage parfait. J'ai particulièrement aimé le passage sur les canaux pour isoler les fonds compliqués comme le feuillage. En appliquant la méthode sur mes propres photos de portrait, le résultat était nettement plus propre que tout ce que j'avais fait avant. Un vrai gain de temps pour mes retouches clients.
Wreszcie zrozumiałam maskowanie kanałów przy wycinaniu włosów, efekt na moim zdjęciu portretowym jest dużo czystszy niż wcześniej.
チャンネルマスクの説明が分かりやすかったです。
Método de recorte de cabelo simples e eficaz.
Tecnica di mascheratura capelli molto utile.
髪の毛の切り抜きがこんなに自然にできるとは思わなかったです、チャンネルを使った方法がとても分かりやすかったです。
Boa técnica de máscara, ritmo um pouco rápido.
Ich habe schon einige Tutorials zum Freistellen von Haaren ausprobiert, aber die Erklärung der Kanalmaskierung hier war die erste, die für mich wirklich Klick gemacht hat. Der Kursleiter zeigt Schritt für Schritt, wie man den Kontrast in den einzelnen Kanälen prüft, bevor man überhaupt mit der Maskierung anfängt, was mir vorher komplett gefehlt hat. Besonders hilfreich fand ich das Beispiel mit dem unscharfen Hintergrund, weil genau solche Fotos mir sonst Probleme bereiten. Das Tempo ist angenehm, man kann jederzeit zurückspulen ohne den Faden zu verlieren. Nach dem Kurs habe ich ein altes Porträtfoto neu freigestellt und der Unterschied zur vorherigen Version ist enorm. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die mit komplizierten Haarpartien kämpfen.
Хороший курс по вырезанию сложных объектов, техника с уточнением края реально работает лучше, чем я делала раньше вручную ластиком. Единственное — темп местами быстроват, пришлось пересматривать пару моментов с каналами дважды.
شرح ممتاز لعزل الشعر، كنت أتمنى لو فيه أمثلة أكثر على الخلفيات المعقدة لكنه مفيد جداً.
Técnica de máscara de cabelo excelente, direto ao ponto.
Llevaba tiempo evitando los recortes de pelo en Photoshop porque siempre me quedaban bordes duros o mechones cortados a lo bruto. Este curso explica con calma el uso de canales para generar una máscara de alto contraste antes de refinar el borde, algo que ningún otro tutorial me había mostrado tan claro. Me gustó mucho que trabajen con fotos reales de estudio, con fondos complicados y no solo con ejemplos fáciles. La parte sobre cómo mezclar la selección con una máscara de capa pintada a mano fue la que más se me quedó grabada. Apliqué la técnica en un retrato de mi sobrina con el pelo suelto al viento y el resultado quedó impecable. Ya lo estoy usando en encargos reales de retoque.
كنت أعاني كثيراً مع قص الشعر المتطاير حول الوجه، لكن طريقة استخدام Refine Edge مع القنوات غيّرت كل شيء عندي. الآن صور المنتجات والبورتريه عندي صارت نظيفة تماماً بدون أي أثر للخلفية القديمة، وأنصح به بشدة لأي شخص يشتغل في التجارة الإلكترونية.
Sempre tive dificuldade em recortar cabelo sem deixar bordas artificiais, e esse curso resolveu isso de forma clara usando a máscara de camada combinada com os canais. As aulas são curtas e práticas, dá pra acompanhar fazendo junto no seu próprio arquivo. Testei num retrato com fundo de folhagem e o resultado ficou surpreendentemente limpo.
Saç maskeleme tekniği gerçekten işe yarıyor.
채널을 이용한 머리카락 마스킹 방법이 정말 유용했는데, 복잡한 배경 예제가 조금 더 있었으면 좋았을 것 같아요.
This course finally made channel masking click for me instead of just fighting with the eraser tool on every stray hair. The instructor walks through picking the right channel, boosting contrast, and blending it back as a layer mask in a way that's easy to follow even on messier backgrounds like foliage. I redid an old portrait cutout afterward and the edges look completely natural now.
