I remember somewhere on the web there was a free tutorial on how to do
this, sorry I forget but I did have to use it once or twice long time
ago. What version of Photoshop are you using.

Dear all, I have a photoshop related question.
I shot a portrait of a subject on a nicely illuminated white
background. Now, I want to extract it to replace the real background
with a digital one. Despite homogenous whilte background, I am having
a very hard time to extract the subject using the 'extract' filter in
PS. This is especially because the hair details are lost. Since this
will be blown to at least 8X10 size (if not more), I want to be very
sure that the hair details look normal. I tried to use a history brush
after the extraction procedure, but it leads to regaining of some
white background (everything else is transperent).
So the question is: does anybody here have a tip for me to accomplish
this task. Any URL etc would help too. Someone suggested me to make
masks to extract, will somebody shade more light on that, if they have
experience.
Thanks for any help,
Achal
