Lesson 1:
Cutting with Paths
Learn to use the pen tool to make accurate curve-based paths which can then be used for masking and selection.

Selecting with color range, the select and mask tool, the refine edge tool and directly painting masks with brushes—it’s all covered here.
Lesson 3:
Isolating the Dress
Creating smart objects, combining selections and isolated objects for further compositing are covered in this lesson.

Designing the Dress
How do you create something that was never in the original photo? In this lesson we recreate the bottom of the dress with the pen tool, lasso tool and transform tools.
