 Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2009 2:12 pm Post subject: fuzzy edge on cropped image |
 |
|
Hey everyone. I'm a web programmer who's just as of late been getting into front end programming, and as such am rather green with photoshop. I'm trying to crop a strip of an image to use as a repeating background on a website.
I'm having a couple problems with this...
1. There is always a small fuzzy gray edge around whatever I'm trying to crop... I've tried this on multiple files and file types and am always getting this. Also, the designers here who made the images also seem to be getting it when they try to crop, and we can't figure out why.
2. If there is a glow effect on something that I'm cropping, it seems to round or smooth out the edges of the glow effect. I want it to be a nice clean WYSIWYG crop.
I have played with the "refine edge" settings, and setting everything there to 0, and this doesn't seem to help.
Oh, I'm using CS3.
Ideas? Thanks in advance!

Are you actually using the crop tool? Or the retangular marque tool? The marque tool has options in the top toolbar to feather the selection, which sounds like what you describe.

I'm used the marquee tool and the crop tool. With the marquee tool I have set the "feather" to 0px and still get the effect.
Any other ideas?

If you are trying to crop a picture you don't need the marque tool you only need the crop tool. Perhaps you're using the wrong term for what you are trying to do.

No, I am using the crop tool, or at least it says "crop tool" when I hover my cursor above it. Well I used the marque tool too, with feather set to 0px. More or less the same results each time.

I'd like to help, perhaps you could post a screenshot or pictures to help explain your workflow and results.
As you see here, the crop tool has a sharp edge, and it does not have an option for feathering.

Yes, I have tried the crop AND marque tool.
I did manage to make my cropping a little better by changing it from "delete" to "hidden".
I posted a couple screen shots. One is the image, the other one is the image zoomed in to reveal the gray edge I'm talking about.
This particular images was 'cropped', not marqued then cropped.

Sorry, but I don't see the image you're trying to crop, it appears you're only showing the result.
