Is The New “Select Subject” Tool Better Than The Pen Tool?

Ever used the pen tool in Photoshop to select a subject? It’s neat right? But even though it is neat and you know what to expect, it is very time-consuming. And don’t mention selecting hair. That’s just not possible. In this following instructional video, Unmesh Dinda a.k.a PiXimperfect compares the latest “select subject” tool with the pen tool and the “select subject” tool from the previous version of Photoshop. And let me tell you, the results will blow your mind.

Unmesh uses 3 samples to compare the result and also teaches some cool masking workflows which might be helpful for you while masking your images. Check out the video here:
