Contrast pinned and colored.When I feathered the mask outlined it did a nice job of coloring the wisps of hair.GregM

In PS.When I pasted the "a" mask I noticed sort of a border or halo where the dog's hair was naturally feathered,legs,bottom of tail,neck,so when I painted out the grass I used a smaller ,softer brush up to this border.When I tried the feather slider in mask in CS4 it colored the hair in this area.Could this be done just in CM?GregM

I'm still thinking on this one....
There might be a way.

Let me stew a bit on this one...

I'm thinking that the current version is not able to do this at the level required to "save" the hairy edges....
I know you could try various masking strategies but in the end you have less control than your adjustment.
