Photoshop: Absolutely my favorite new feature in CS5 - 04-21-2010, 11:01 AM


Out of all the videos that been posted on this forum about many of the new features for Photoshop CS5, the Refine Selection Edges has to be my favorite. I'm very impressed with all the Content Aware Fill tools, but I can see myself using the Refine Selection Edges more.

At first I was skeptical because many of these "extraction" tools work well on solid color background like in studio photography. As you will see below, the videos and links show this tools being used in various situations. This can potentially be a huge time saver for me.

This is one of my favorite examples by Dave Cross using Refine Selection Edges on a complicated background. Click on the link and choose the Refine Selection Edges video.

I'm hoping to pick up CS5 within the next week or two. Can't wait to try some of the new features.
