Create and refine selection

I need to isolate the model from the busy studio background and make a clean selection for compositing. Work through the file named Model_Shoot_07.CR2, keep the hair and glasses detail intact, and prepare a mask I can hand to Marco in retouch with no edge halos. Stop and tell me when the selection captures stray hair and reflections so I can review before you proceed.

Before I hand this to Marco, make the selection easy to inspect and tweak: show the selection as a quick mask overlay, separate hair into its own soft selection, push contrast just enough to reveal fringing, and flag any areas where the selection falls below 80% confidence so I can decide whether to run extra passes.

Select Subject picked the model body but missed hair strands and the camera strap. Marco needs near-perfect hair edges; I’m worried about spending hours fixing it. Tell me the most likely gaps Select Subject left and the fastest next move to get usable hair detail without rebuilding the whole selection.

On most shoots I waste an hour rebuilding selections for hair, glasses and straps. I need a habit that stops this recurring grind. Recommend a repeatable setup from import through a first-pass selection that saves time across dozens of portraits and keeps edges consistent between retouchers.
