|
Just for the record im no longer a noob!
Iv just never been hundred percent sure about the perfect
technique! My problem is, when coming to extract say a "model"
from a coloured/detailed background
you spend along time trying
to make the selection as neat as possible,but sometimes have a few
missed bits, what is the best way to make the edges a little neater?
I have tried techniques like duplicating the layer and using things
such as "inner glow" etc
any help would be appreciated,Thanks
Kye!

There is no simple answer. It all depends on the image as to what technique works best. |

i find for objects such as people or animals that the quick mask option works best for me. Other objects such as a car or anything with a straight edge the pen tool works best. |

I find duplicating the layer then use filter >find edges on new layer(I use that first) then hide layer to see original to see if I missed something,unless the image is of few colors, it will always take time, but I find the find edges methods as mentioned saves a few missed pixels and a a little bit of time. |
