Cut out hair from a photo background

Review fine hair against contrasting backgrounds

A sharp source with contrast between hair and background is easier to inspect. Compare the cutout on a dark and a light colour. Zoom into individual areas instead of making one large erase stroke that removes whole groups of fine strands.

Use Restore to recover hair present in the original, and Erase to remove visible background fragments. The brush reveals original pixels; it cannot invent missing strands or recreate detail in a blurred source. Keep a transparent PNG copy before creating other backgrounds.
