(In the upper window, only the Blue copy channel is active and visible. In the lower window, only the Blue copy channel is active, but all channels are visible.) And wala, you are close to done... but we did not get shown how to do all of those things. so This Tutorial stinks!! You are going along alright and then say:

If I had that kind of knowledge in my "common knowledge," I'd be long past trying to select tricky hair. Waste of my time; on to try to find somebody that explains their work.

Was this article written years ago? I opened Adobe Bridge (I have CS3) and it clearly states that Adobe Bridge has been discontinued. So what gives? I am confused. Was this article written years ago?
