Ah, finally got the chance to try Jim's tutorial. It worked real sweet! If anyone's having a problem with hair, I suggest you try it. The one I worked on was a little different from the one shown in the tutorial, so I made some minor changes. I wound up using the red channel instead of the blue because the blue channel made everything kind of blend together. The red channel gave me what I needed. The hair in the mask became white, so the alpha channel needed to be inverted. Thanks again Jim - it's a keeper.

by albatrosssI was using Window>Arrange>New Window to Use With Tutorial to smooth skin. I found that when I turned off the eye on say the Red and Blue Channel and used the Green Channel, the RGB image would reflect any changes I made with the Clone Tool. If, however, I simply selected the Green Channel,...
