Even in 2025, with all the latest AI tools and Photoshop advancements, is selecting hair still a struggle?

In this video, we'll put that question to the test with real examples from easy to complex and explore whether modern features like Select Subject (Cloud), Generative Fill, and AI masking can finally solve the problem. You'll learn when to rely on automatic methods, when to switch to traditional techniques like Channels, and how combining both can give you pixel-perfect results. We'll also walk through how to fix color fringes, add missing flyaway hairs, and even manually paint strands for absolute precision, especially when dealing with messy high-resolution backgrounds. Whether you're a retoucher, composite artist, or just tired of losing hair detail, this is your ultimate guide to getting it right today. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
