Well done Matt. It is so true that you have to think outside of the box. It really shows that can't have enough Start-2-Finish examples to drive a point home.

That was brilliant! We are all guilty of trying to do the “correct thing” and don't take the time to explore the “what ifs” and find a process that actually works better! Well done.

G’day, Matt. I’ve been following you off and on for what must be over 10 years. I’m loving you’re latest videos. They’re realistic. So often you see someone should a technique, try it, and only to find that it doesn’t work on your photo. Because they’ve used the perfect photo to show off the technique. But you’re showing real world examples. As a wildlife, mainly birds (osprey) and landscape photographers I’ve really appreciating your videos. Thank you.

Thanks so much Matt. I was editing a similar image of an Osprey and had the same issue with the wing tips. Choosing "subtract" worked a treat. BTW what would you do with the other wing tip in your example as there is did not work so well there probably due to the green foliage there?

"Good enough" is actually be "great": I think "perfection" when masking is actually not the way to go, because if you try to perfectly mask you will get "hard" edges and probably a fake look since it will look like a cutout. When masking I often try to feather en let the images have natural edge "blending" so that it feels real or natural.

All these fancy auto selections in many cases are still weaker than the classic channel pulling, IMHO. In the last example ALL the grass could be easily selected via the channels. 😉

Not even close, but if it works for you, great. But there is no way channels are better with today's modern tools. (And that's coming from a fan of channel selections way back)
