For making complicated, surgical selections, I zoom in to the area I want to edit and use the selection brush with an appropiately small diameter. Using a graphics tablet is ideal, but you can get fairly good precision using a mouse if you take your time.

This is what I came up with. I made selectiion of lower part og guitar and rotated 90 degrees and placed where hair was and used layer mask to blend in. Pole removed using content-aware in PS5 along with cigarette in foreground.

Notice the guitar in the photo? Well right above my daughters right arm is a small area on the guitar covered with her hair. I couldn't get that part selected. How would guys go about it? It's beyond me
Very carefully :roll: Actually there are many ways to do a selection like this. If this color of her hair and the guitar at quite different you can do a selection by Color Range. There are other ways too and maybe other people can chime in on how.

Some of these other guys only showed you the clone stamp way by sampling the guitar in the lower part of the image and cloning over her hair. This is not really the way you want to do it. You want to do a detailed selection or mask to retain the hair. Next time post the one you've been working on along with the unaltered image so that if someone chooses to show you more than one way to do it they can.
