In the previous lecture guys we did our first selection trying to include all the foreground that we
want.
And we got some results within the composition panel that you can see them but also you're not is that
the edges are really pretty rough.
We need to refine these edges.
So let's go back to our panel and now we can use the fine edge to be fine edge tool here very fine edge
tour.
Of course it starts with a plus meaning you can add strokes where you are going to refine the edges
all around if you like.
And if press alt or option on the mark you are removing strokes where you have refined the edges.
So let's try to put this stroke all around that head here for it to define the edges for the head.
So look over here.
And just like I like to have the plus sign on the purple line here just to make sure that everything
is taking in consideration in and out.
So I would stop over here.
That's fine.
Then continue just over here.
So what exactly is happening here.
This is what you call the X-ray view.
If you come to this pattern here it says table refined edge Exley.
Well what are we seeing the black is not going to be taken in consideration and it's already transparent.
The white is where the work is going to be to add these small elements or the small refined elements
over here.
You are defining the edges.
Also the same as over here.
Now with the X-ray you can see exactly what you have done and what areas or what strokes you have added
to see what's going to be refined.
You can't put it off and you are back to the boundary line and the boundary line is called alpha boundary
if you like.
You come back now to your current position you can see that you have added you know quite some interesting
details all over.
Of course it does take some more care to adjust them.
There is some gray but that is OK maybe it's pretty good.
Let's go back here.
If you're not is this buttons here are very useful.
The first one you have seen is toggle refired actually.
So we put it on or off.
The second one is about a toggle Alpha.
If you click on it you will notice that you can see only the alpha channel here which is a pretty rough
Alfar Chenin the block is totally transparent and this is your foreground or your subject.
You can put it off and the next one is toggle Alfar boundary is what you were working on.
You see the purple line which is the boundary of the unfortunate.
Another useful one is the alpha overly If you select it then it will add another novelty for a certain
color that you select from.
Over here you can change this color for example blue whatever.
It will give you a better view of what is happening and how you have done your selection and your refinement.
You can also increase the opacity to see exactly your work.
If it works that we get it back to 30 percent is the best to look at your work.
So come back to your position here.
You have refined the edges and the strokes are just over here.
You can see them.
So actually this is the fine edges tool you would take it around and you create a stroke on the edges
where you want the edges to be refined.
These guys have seen a lot of workwell they go on and do everything all around.
But that would be pretty cool sometimes but not all the time because it's going to create some areas
that we need more work just like here.
If you notice though I included the hair or saw you can see there is some shading here.
I need to work on if I were to do a very professional job.
So this is about the is store.
And I hope you and the suit if you have any questions please post them in the Q Any section of the course.
I'd be very happy to help you.
I'll see you in the next section.
