JUNE 04, 2002 When Compositing Gets Hairy
Color Tools Threshold masks aren't perfect solutions though, particularly with subtle luminosity variations in your image. So here it might be useful to alleviate some threshold problems before even attempting to apply the threshold. You can do this with any number of Photoshop's color correction tools, such as Brightness/Contrast, Color Balance and Hue/Saturation. [an error occurred while processing this directive] 
Again, duplicate your layer, select the duplicate and start color correcting. The goal is to create as much luma difference between the foreground and background as possible. In other words, you want to lighten up the background so that it doesn't show up in the threshold. Remember, the goal here is not a perfect, automatic mask. Although this would be nice, it's just not going to happen. The goal is to make the masking process just a little bit easier, and this means isolating your subject from the background as much as possible prior to committing to the mask.
