Step Seven:
The trick is simple: make a selection of the subject you want to protect (in our case, the
dress forms and dresses), save that selection, then tell Photoshop you've saved it, and it
then avoids that selected area like the plague. So, start by getting whichever selection tool
you're most comfortable with from the Toolbox, and put a selection around your subject
(here I used the Quick Selection tool, which if anything, is quick. It's not the most accur-
ate, but that's okay for what we need to do here). Once your selection is in place, go under
the Select menu and choose
Save Selection
. When the Save Selection dialog appears, just
click OK, and now you can deselect by pressing
Command-D (PC: Ctrl-D)
.
