Step Four: With the subject now selected, press Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J) to copy the selected area to a new layer. In the Layers panel, hide the Background layer by clicking its Eye icon. You’ll notice the subject is somewhat trans- parent. To build the density back up, press Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J) five more times. The density will build up in the subject with each duplicate layer.
Step Five: With the top layer active in the Layers panel, hold down the Shift key and click on the original copied layer (Layer 1) to select all the layers except the Background layer. Once you have them all selected, press Com- mand-E (PC: Ctrl-E) to merge them into a single layer. You’ll see the subject is nicely extracted while maintaining areas of trans- parency in the dress.
