Hi,

probably it is an hw or an configuration issue, but someone to help?

I'm trying to use select and mask but starting with quick select, which is very, very slow, after that using the 2nd pencil to define the hair structure... very unsuccesful... futhermore the color decontamination changes  colors on 100 % selected part of the hair.....

However I reinstalled my pc (z170 3.5GHz, 4 prozessors, 16GB RAM, SSD start hd,  GTX 750TI with 2 GB) and reinstalled photoshop and lightroom cc again.

Especially because of the slowness at quick mask I'm not sure if I have to search for an configuration issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Finally, I sharpened up the

I had a slightly better result than yours, however I cheated by using the classical "Refine Edge" method. Kindly check other post hereā€¦Still having trouble with select and mask

Here is the mask

and here is the result with black background. Note, I applied Decontaminate Colours too.

Finally, I sharpened up the edge of the mask in a couple of places using a black/white brush set to overlay at 50% opacity and painting the edges.
