Hi There,

I have a portrait shot on a white background that I am attempting to crop from the background.  I'm Using "Select", "Color Range", but it is picking up the eyes and teeth.

Any suggestions on how to not select the eyes, teeth, etc.?  I have played with fuzziness & range.

Any help is appreciate.

Thank you.

If you want to use color range, and not a tool like quick select that might work better, just hold the alt/opt key and use the lasso tool to unselected those areas. Or you and covert it to a mask and paint out those areas.

Thank you Chuck.  I was making that more complicated than necessary.
