High-End Hair Masking & Cut-outs

Job Title: High-End Hair Masking & Cut-outs: 10 Portraits for Dark Backgrounds

Job Description: I have a set of 8–10 high-resolution portraits of a male subject that have been cut out using AI. While the AI did a decent job on the body, the hair masking is not professional enough for a high-contrast dark background.

I need an expert retoucher to manually refine the hair edges across these images to ensure they look natural, soft, and realistic when placed against a near-black background.

Requirements:

Manual Hair Refinement: You must use advanced techniques (Refine Edge, Calculations, or manual hair-brushing) to ensure no light "halos" remain from the original high-key background.

Preserve Fine Detail: I need to keep the individual "flyaway" hairs and the natural texture—no "plastic" or helmet-like edges.

Consistency: The cut-outs must be consistent across all 10 images so they can be used interchangeably in the same asset set.

Output: Transparent PNG or Layered PSD files (preferred).

Technical Note: The subject has dark, slightly messy hair. The original shots were on a light background, and they are being moved to a dark cinematic style. Only apply for this if you are an expert in complex hair masking.

Deliverables:

10x high-resolution transparent PNGs or PSDs with perfect hair masking.
