In this movie,…we're going to build a selection of our two friends that we have here.…And to do that, we're actually going to go back into the background layer and…turn off the visibilities of the other layers for a moment.…So we're going to go back to the image as it appeared after we brought it…over from Camera Raw.…Then, we'll choose the Quick Select tool, which you can find right here.…We want to choose a brush, which is smaller.…My brush is too big, so I'm going to go ahead and decrease my brush size.…Just start to paint around the subject, and it doesn't have to be perfect here.…Looks like I need a little bit of a smaller brush to get down to their feet.…
want to make sure those are protected as well.…And after we make this quick selection, what we're going to do is refine it.…So after you click and drag over the subjects, go to Refine Edge.…In Refine Edge,…we'll turn on our Smart Radius here that will just make sure our edges look better.…And I think for this type of a selection that we're doing here,…
