For Photoshop users

 

This is a simple post that can help loads of people about image cutting.

Cut out images perfectly can be a hard work, still more when it is about hair cutting.

Hopefully, there is a tool that exempts all those cutting techniques.

It is named COREL KNOCKOUT and it is a simple tool that allows you to cut out any image perfectly in a fast and easy way.

Lets straight to the pos. First of all open the image you'll use. Mine will be this one:

 

 

Change the image into a Layer or it will not get right .Now go to Filter> knockout 2> Load working layer.

After that the image will be loaded on the Knockout plugging. Select the following tools:

 

 

This time, select the whole internal part of the image, don’t lose any detail and go embroidering. It will be like this:

 

 

Select those other tools:

 

 

Now select the external part, don’t leave any hair out.

Believe you, they appear after having cut out. It will be like this:

 

 

Modify the tool bellow of detail 3 to detail 4 and press the button.

 

 

Turn off the small mistakes with eraser than go to the File > Apply.

The image will return cut out so put a background and you will have the final result.

 

 

Te results can vary in agreement with the selection form. Therefore,at the beginig, it seems a little bit complicated to

do it perfect but with the time you will understand better how does it work.
