In this edit I will be showing you how to retouch a Portrait from scratch.
6th Image - Removing Background in a Challenging and Complex Shot
Even though Picsart has the Cutout tool which automatically selects the subject, it often does not give the desired result especially in complex images like a subject with long hair. The Cutout tool doesn't pick up the small gaps between the hair. In such a situation we need to create manual masks by turning the image into black and white colored sections based on the contrast in the image. This is what we will be learning in this section.
