Removing flyaways often happens to be one of the most time-consuming and frustrating parts of the retouching process, but it doesn't have to be today. I'M gon na share with you one very simple workflow that you can use to easily remove all of the flyaways without having to go ahead and clone out each and every one of them one by one. You don't have to do that. It'S easy! So without any further ado, let's get started so here we on Photoshop Nakano, go ahead and download this photo and follow along. You know what to do check the links in the description now take a deep breath. It'S gon na be easy and we're gon na. Do this in three simple steps, step number one is cloning in this is the step that we cover all the flyaways. You don't have to be accurate, just cover it, so all you have to do is to create a new lip click on the new layer button right over there, a new layer is created, double click on the text and name it fly aways all right and then Simply take the clone stamp tool right over. There now make sure the opacity and flow are at hundred, and the sample is current and below select that now just zoom in and make sure it's a soft brush. If it's not already just click on this drop down over there and make sure the hardness is 0 % now all we need to do is to just zoom in next to the flyways, hold the alt or option to take a sample from a nearby area, and Just simply cover it, you don't have to be accurate, just cover it pretty quickly, don't be accurate here, just cover it all at once and go a little inside right, don't worry about having an accurate selection over there just paint over it. You know why, because it's on a separate layer, we can erase that later so hold the odd or option-click and just paint all right. There we go as you can see, we have covered all of them and you're done for the tutorial. We have removed the fly base just kidding. This is just step number one step number two is creating a rough mask. This is where we create a basic outline of the hair without the flyaways. Again, you don't have to be accurate. All we have to do is to click on the mask button. With the fly of a layer selected, just click on the mask button. A mask is created now you know the concept of mask black, hides and white shows up so take the brush make sure the foreground. Color is black press X to toggle between the foreground and the background and just zoom in with the flow and the opacity, both at hundred just paint along the outline of the hair to bring back most of it don't have to be accurate, just don't bring back The flyaways that was pretty easy right time for us to move to step number three step number: three years: refining the mosque. This is where we go ahead and finish the hair get the details back, remove the flyaways make it look realistic and here's how to do it if you're using a tablet. Like me, the brush settings are gon na, be a little different than if you were using a mouse. Don'T worry, I'm gon na be giving you settings for both of them. So if you're using a tablet, set the flow to somewhere around 75 %, all right and then go to the brush settings window and then brush settings, all you need to do is to turn transfer on right there and set the flow to bend pressure. All right. You can also set the opacity to pen pressure if you want it to be more sensitive, but I'm gon na leave it at that, or maybe let's make the opacity and print pressure as well. That way, what will happen is when you're, just finessing the hair, getting the details back or removing the fly ways. You can use your pressure to make it easier for you. For example, you want to remove this area harder so with the foreground. Color is set to white. You would just press harder to increase the intensity of the brush. If you want to do it softly, you would just press lighter to decrease the intensity of the brush, but if you are using a mouse you cannot use pressure sensitivity. So all you need to do if you are using a mouse, just go to window and then brush settings transfer is not required, check it off and then set the flow to somewhere around 35 or 30. So I'm gon na set it to 35, and then just you have to paint a couple times to increase the intensity to build up on. Also, you can make sure you can just check this on. This is enable some airbrush style build-up effects just check this on. This is good and then again since I'm using a tablet, I'm gon na go to window and then brush settings turn the transfer on control to pen pressure, opacity and flow it's great and flow to somewhere around 75, because now I have more control over it. With the help of the pressure, so I'm going to use that, so all you need to do is to just zoom in with white selected as the four Kalen chest he raised the additional flyaway hairs now one of the rules that you have to keep in mind. While removing flyaways is this, if the flyaway is in the direction of the flow of the hair, you don't have to remove it. If you want to make the hair look normal, don't remove it. Just like, let's say, have a look at this: you don't have to remove all of them. These are in the direction of the flow, but if something is in opposite direction of the flow remove it so, for example, have a look at this. I'M gon na remove this one. I'M gon na remove this one right. You get the idea in the flow, don't remove it opposite to the direction, remove it. If there's anything that stands out and it's distracting remove it just be soft about it. Like there's this little hair right over there, I'm not gon na remove it, because if I do it's gon na make it look unnatural. So let's not do it now. These are in the opposite direction of the flow, so don't remove all of it because it will make it look unnatural, just remove some of it, maybe from the top a little softly. Don'T go hard on this one see in the direction: don't have to remove it, but if it's distracting, you cannot gon na remove a whole lot over here, just soften it out now here, if you remove all of them, it's gon na look crazy, so we're gon Na have to keep a little bit over here, maybe we'll soften it out a bit, but they'll keep most of them all right. There we go. You can spend as much time as you want for this, but I'm gon na keep it natural. Have a look at this? How natural this looks so here is the before, and here is the after. That was so easy to remove all of them. Maybe you can bring back a little bit over here. You can change the color to blank by pressing X and then you can just maybe bring back a little bit of it and then take the ones at the very top Zoomer there you go, it looks so much more natural. So here is the before. Here is the after, so that's how you do it now that I look at it. Maybe here is something which we need to soften it out, don't remove all of it, just soften it out a little bit all right. There we go it's less distracting that way. So that's how to remove flyaways on at once without having to clone out each one of them with the Healing Brush tool or the Spot Healing Brush tool or whatever you use. Let'S do a quick little recap. It'S very easy step number one is cloning in clone. In the background cover all the flyaways, that's it you don't have to be accurate, just cover it up and to do that always do this on a new layer, so create a new layer with the help of the clone stamp to just sample. From the background where there are no flyaways and just cover the flyaways step, number two is creating a rough mask. Make a rough basic outline of the hair. Don'T have to be accurate again and step. Number three is when you go ahead and zoom in and finish and just refine the edge of the hair, and that's pretty much all there is to do hope.

Nabeel Nawab: Great quality content brother keep it up
Artkeh: Great tips for an indoor studio shot on a solid background. What about on an outdoor shot with a busy background? That's the real challenge. There doesn't seem to be much you can do to speed it up in that situation. Hair always takes the longest out of everything! I use basically the same techniques, but cloning the background takes a lot more precision and time than with a solid background.
Rod Kaye Photography L.L.C.: This was a very informative tutorial, so thank you. One issue that is still problematic for studio portraits is when you have a gradated bkgd. This is great for getting the fly aways, but how do you not show the backgrounds' tonal changes along the head/face from the original cloning?
SADESIGN - Shorts: An amazing tutorial, very well-explained! Thank you very much!
Blestyr: This is exactly what Adobe needed, a teacher that explains how to use techniques and tools in a really friendly and CALM manner. Don't get me wrong, there are other Adobe instructors that explain very well how to use the different PS tools, but never got to listen to a guy like this. The tone he uses makes PS sound so easy and accessible, giving you the confidence to tackle PS, even if you do not like PS, like me.
danz beard: Your tutorials are extremely well done. Thank you
Pavel Filippov: Thank you! very well demonstrated and shown! love the pace and mentioning the shortcuts
Tom Dallis: Thank you. So many Tutorials waste time with needless comments. You skip all of that and gave me the information I was seeking. Add to that your ability to make the listener feel at ease makes you a fantastic teacher. Very helpful and I will be subscribing to your channel and watching more of your lessons. Well done.

Arcadius MauritzTV: So useful & well explained! Thank You Unmesh!
Sterling Williams: Great vid and tut Unme$h, as always! It would have been great to cover real quick complete hair removal from the arm (for better or worse ‘hairy arms’ of any kind don’t really ‘fly’ in this commercially airbrushed bare and waxed day and age!)

Aarav Kumar: Your way of explaining is very good. I like your tutorial. Great tutor!
Rock J: Thank you Unmesh! I'm looking for a video on how to remove messy hairline hair on the forehead. Sometimes it's like a thin nest of hairs on the forehead or just lots of flyaways on the forehead. You would obviously try and avoid this through styling but some people just have shorter hairs that don't seem to stay with the rest of their hair. Do you have a video on how to remove these? Thanks again.
Mary Naughton: Fantastic tutorial as usual.
Portraits and More: Well explained, thank you so much.

Ignacio Sepúlveda: Please help a newbie here! I take the sample from a nearby spot but when I start erasing the model's face starts to lap over the selected area. My settings seem to be same as in the video (soft brush, sample current and below,etc) but I think there's something I'm missing

Jessica: Just subbed. Best photoshop tutorial I have ever seen.
Realnadee _hairdo: This is so useful
Miguel Lombana: Unmesh you're the # 1 Photoshop tutor on Youtube without a doubt but allow me to paint a picture for you, some people, and I'm sure the number is likely much closer to most people that are coming to your channel to learn how to do something (myself included) have a very basic knowledge of Photoshop and are trying to figure out how to fix something that's wrong or possibly learn a new technique. Maybe approach videos from the perspective of someone that is literally trying to clone their screen to yours and they don't know that the "ABC" Brush is you're favorite. I'm not saying to dumb it down but maybe use the approach of you need to click here then here and your screen should look like this to do that. You're amazing but a lot of us don't have your experience and just to do something as simple as this for you takes some of us, an extra 10 minutes, just to find out how to set up our brush or screen or to match what we see in your screen to do the task.
Vinit Maha: Hi! this method is good but what if it is a photograph taken in outdoor where the background is non uniform unlike this backdrop. its not easy to sample background when it is a picture taken in outdoor conditions. please get back if you feel the doubt worth.
md basar: Thank you so much for your helping.
Kasia Kaa: Can you please show how to deal with wrinkles and uneven skin texture that are pretty much covered by long dark eyelashes? I mean texture under the lower lashline. All turtorials are made only on eyes with short lashes or almost no makeup. I would love to see you retouching eyemakeup closeup type of picture. Thank you for lovely turtorials. I find them really helpful. You are amazing
Dylan Rogers Creative: I'm working with a portrait that has a lot of "fly-aways" that span across the ears quite a bit and a few on the face. I'll check to see if you have a video that covers this issue.
Danielle Hay: I'm still stuck on step one. For some reason, my clone stamp is cloning my background and my layer is transparent, not white.
Catrplr: Quality content
A.H.M. Bodruddoza: I don't understand why people dislike needfull tutorial. If they know everything, they have the option to skip this. This tutorial is very much useful for many people.
🌴 Rolling with the Rohloff 🌴: My photoshop isnt giving me the "Sample: above and below" option. It is only letting be put weird patterns that obviously do not work. How can I fix this?
Almira MasteR: Is there any tutorial for adding hair on thin long hair. To make it thick?
Ajay Borse: Its easy to remove hair for the pictures with the single color background. but do u have any technique to remove fast flyaways for the pictures with outdoor background??
