About Andrei Oprinca

Hello, my name is Andrei, I was born in 1988 and I'm a self taught graphic artist (I don't consider myself an artist though, I'll have to check for the definition of that). I write Photoshop tutorials about all the techniques I know and I also provide my brushes and also stock images and other resources. I hope you like my site.

  1. Genius mate, genius.

  2. This is another technique to reach the same result. But all have the same common denominator: it’s easy to make them with dark hair against bright background. It would require impractically lot of work to have blond frizzy hair against, say, green-yellow foliage!

  3. Thank you for very useful tip.

  6. you can do it easy with the channels and it will not limit you just see the channel that have more contrast and increase the contrast ….you know tell you get black selection and white will be not selected

    • You are wright but there is one problem in that way that edges remain so hard and you can not select every single hair, I tried Andrei’s trick with a bunch of hair and i succeeded to select them all.

  7. What if she had blonde hair?

  8. why didn’t i know this technique, it’s really a piece of pie. Thank you for sharing.
