copied!<p>Use the Pen tool to get the most precise selection. Go to Window --> Paths to load the paths palette. Click the white rectangle icon at the bottom of the palette to make a new path. Click the pen tool from the toolbar. Use the pen tool to place little dots (selection points) around the hair you want to select. If you make a mistake, you can go back and move each individual point later using the direct selection tool (white arrow). When you've selected everything, click the path selection tool (the black arrow below the Text tool on the toolbar) and click on your path in the image. Now right-click on the image and select "make selection" from the pop up menu that appears. Set feathering to 0. Now copy that selection to a new layer. </p> <p>Then take Robert Woods' advice above and create a new layer underneath and fill it with a color so you can see your full selection. If you see parts that want to hide, create a layer mask by clicking on the third icon from the left at the bottom of the layers palette (it looks like a grey rectangle with a white circle inside it) while the hair layer is selected. A mask lets you hide parts of later. A white box will have appeared in the layer palette on the layer with the mask. Make sure that white box is selected (has a border on it) when working with your mask. You can click on the little photo of the image to edit the image or click on the white box to edit the mask. When your mask is selected, the two colors at the bottom of the toolbar should be black and white. Black hides the parts of the image and white reveals them. So if you click on your pencil tool and draw on your mask in black, you will hide the parts of the layer you drew on. If you then go back over them in pencil and color them white, you will reveal those parts. So you can use your pencil or your brush tool to draw black marks over the spaces between the hair that you want to hide. If you mess up, just go back over them in white. You can also set the transparency to less than 100%, but I'm guessing you want to work with 100% in this case. </p> <p>When you're done with this, create a new path in the path window. When you need to go back to the hair path, just click on that path in the path window and select it again with the arrow. </p>
