How to go over any hair and cut it out on iPhone or iPad

Until recently making cutouts of any messy hair was possible only by using Photoshop™, or other professional graphic design software on laptop or PC. Not speaking of the skills one would need to master to get accurate selection around messy hair.

You would ask what about mobile photo editors such as Enlight, Picsart, Pixlr, Retouch, FaceTune, etc. available nowadays that offer multiple features of editing? Well, none of those makes it possible to accurately select and make smart cutouts of messy hair from any image.

This article explores the ways in which users can select and smoothly cut out any hair from an image on a mobile device with the help of Pixomatic mobile photo editor, which has introduced the first-ever mobile hair selection tool last week. The uniqueness of Hair Tool mobile feature is the possibility to select and smoothly cutout any type of messy hair with the help of fingertips and without any prior skills.

Pixomatic, a layer based mobile photo editor allows to crop certain elements from a picture and put them into another picture along with the possibility to replace or remove the backgrounds, apply various artistic transfer filters, create dynamic coloursplash effects, add shadows or text, etc. to the images directly from your mobile device. In order to select and cut out any hair, users simply need to:
