Fur Troubles
I'm trying to place the bamboo behind the panda and log. Unfortunately, when I cut or extract the panda and place it on a new layer the panda's fur looks too clean-cut. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Fur Troubles
Hi jwhite,
this is what I did using the background eraser and the eraser in about 15 minutes. I used the background eraser with a sensitivity of about 25%, checked Protect Foreground colour and sampled the foreground often as I went along.

I this something you were shooting for?

Re: Fur Troubles
I'd say this is a perfect candidate for the Smudge tool, John!

Re: Fur Troubles
Thanks Whaler & Steve, I don't normally use the background eraser but will have to give it a try.

Re: Fur Troubles
I created two masks using a duplicated blue channel. One mask to separate the white fur and another to separate the black fur. I separated the white first since there is less of it. Marty

Re: Fur Troubles
Download some fur brushes or make your own.
