Editing Toolbox: Awesome Subject Selection with One Setting
Dec 02, 2022By Charlotte Reeves
Do you ever find yourself wishing that you could click one button in Photoshop and quickly have a very usable, very accurate subject selection you can work with straight away?
Subject selection has actually been around in Photoshop for a while now, but until this point, it's not been very accurate - which makes it not very useful when trying to select and mask furry creatures like the pets we photograph! You usually have to go into the Select and Mask workspace to further refine the edge - which takes time.
Fortunately, there's recently been an update to Photoshop's subject selection, and it's a good one! There's just one setting you need to change in your preferences to get a MUCH improved subject selection, quickly and easily, every time.
Plus, I also share a bonus tip to make this process even faster for you!
