Crafty Blending Modes – Mask Hair & Replace Backgrounds

  • In this video the Multiply Blending Mode is uncovered, stripped bare! See how you can use it to quickly and easily change backgrounds, even mask hair (with the right photo/background) to get very cool results.

    Make sure you leave a comment below and let me know how you went with it! Remember it works great with ‘dark hair’ on light backgrounds. Especially good if the model has been photographed against a white background. Thanks to Calvin Hollywood for the inspiration for this one ;)

    In this video i get to the part where it says to go ‘alt+cntrl+add layer mask. Where a black rectangle appears in your layer1 , I get a grey one and it says ‘Add vector mask’ What am I doing wrong
    Cheers

    Wow! This sure beats trying to select the model with all her strands of hair and putting her on a different background. Like it!!
