I shot a protester against a noisy downtown street at 10am and they need that figure lifted cleanly for the feature. I'm nervous about losing the fringe of the flag and the thin wisps of hair when I cut out quickly. Tell me whether I can batch this with a fast selection or if I must do a manual edge pass, which parts to check at 100% for artifacts, and a conservative step-by-step I can follow so the portrait reads natural on the page.
