For those who are familiar with PS software, matting is essential. Today we will take a look at the method of PS matting.
Two pictures, one is a tree and the other is a house in the distance. Now we need to dig out these trees and add them to the picture of the house to make a foreground. Observe that the leaves are many, dense and messy. In this case, it is definitely not feasible to use a pen or lasso tool to dig the picture. Although the background color has a gradual change, it is still relatively close on the whole. At this time, you can use the magic wand tool to select the background and right-click to find the similarity.
After filling the background with yellow, we can see that the trees have been dug up, but the edges are too stiff and the traces of digging are too obvious, so we go back and select the background first, then reverse the main selection, that is, the trees to be dug up, click on the selection above and cover it;
Select the Adjust Edge Brush tool in the left toolbar, and through the left and right parenthesis keys on the keyboard, you can scale the brush diameter, smear the edges and gaps of all leaves, feather by 0.5 pixel, adjust the contrast to 1%, and move the edges to 1%.
Select the output mode of the new layer, and finally click OK in the lower right corner. Fill the background with yellow again, and then enlarge the leaf part. You can find that the edges are not only clean but also much softer this time. Finally, move the cut tree to the background picture and resize it.
The best method of ps tree matting channel matting
First, we find a material and open it.
Step two, we enter the tunnel. If you can't find the channel bar here, you can find it in the window of the menu bar.
In the third step, we look at the red, green and blue channels respectively, and find that the contrast of the blue channel is stronger, and the contrast between the tree and the background is also greater, so we choose the blue channel, pull down the bottom and copy one layer. Of course, you can also click on each channel layer and feel for yourself.
Step 4: For better effect, we press ctrl+m and adjust the curve to make the black, gray and dark areas darker and the white areas whiter.
Select the "finger" in the picture and adjust the brightness by clicking the specified color of the picture.
Step 5: After clicking OK, we will return to the copied blue channel, press the ctrl key, and add the thumbnail of the layer to form the selection.
Step 6, after the selection is formed, we click the RGB layer to return to the layer, and then ctrl+shift+i deselect the selection.
Step 7, ctrl+j, copy the trees in the selection, and then close the small eyes of the original layer, which will have the following effects.
Step 8, we set the foreground color to another color, and then go back to the bottom background layer. Remember to fill the foreground color under the tree layer and then alt+ Delete.
The ninth step, here we find that the colors of the numbers are not harmonious, so we can consider adjusting the colors, that is, synthesizing. At this time, we find the image, adjust the hue/saturation and increase the saturation.
Step 10: After increasing hue/saturation, I found that the color is still not very good. This time, we found the image, adjusted and balanced the color.
Step 12, isn't it much better to transfer here? Then we can change the background color.
Cut the forest with Photoshop channel mixer, PS cut the forest quickly with Photoshop channel mixer! The tutorial shared today is mainly to use Photoshop channel mixer tool to cut a branch picture. There are many matting methods. This matting method is a matting method made by adjusting the channel mixer. Because it involves interviews, it may be a bit difficult for novices.

Create a reverse adjustment layer, and the effect is shown in the following figure:
The "Invert" command can convert the brightness value of each pixel in the image to the opposite value of the 256-level color value, thus producing negative effects. From the effect of inversion, it can be seen that the sky and raw materials show a relatively consistent tone, the branches of trees are white, and the tone of branches and background has been initially separated, which creates conditions for our next operation.
Create a new channel mixer adjustment layer and check the monochrome. Reduce the red in the channel and increase the green and blue in the output channel, thus further separating the tones of the sky and the forest.
Add a tone adjustment layer to enhance the tone difference, so that the dark color in the image becomes black and the light color becomes white.
Press ALT+CTRL+~ to load the highlight selection and select the forest. Double-click the background layer to unlock it, and then click the Add layer mask button. Then hide all the adjustment layers. The following effects are obtained.
Just change the background.
The above is the whole content of using Photoshop channel mixer to dig forests, hoping to help everyone.
