Any help with removing the background?

[Sergio Hegner]

Hi friends,

I'm stubborn and even knowing that this is not a good background to extract I wonder what I"m doing wrong for getting this terrible selection with the new "refine and mask" tool.
How do I clean those white/gray blemishes ?? Is this a Photoshop bug?? Yes, if i use the brush tool I can clean it but it's not easy to do that around the hair where I thought I could use the refine tool but it just does not works like the previous "refine edge"
Which method would you use to remove this background?

Thanking in advance,

Hi friends,


Which method would you use to remove this background? Would you mind to teach me?
I've tried using the new select and mask but it looks terrible.

This is a tricky one.
You could use color range and select the greens, desaturate them and make them as light as possible. This is for the hair, the rest can be added later.

Good call Eggy............that's what I was thinking also.

There's a plugin, Topaz Remask, but I've tried it once on a simular picture. I ended up selecting hair by hair and I was close to throw my PC out the window!

This is the best I could find involving hair cut out on a buzy background:
