Removing Selection Edge Fringes in Photoshop

[@bala1000mina]

Thank you so much Matt for the helpful and informative tutorial! God bless and good luck!

Hello and thank you very much indeed for these techniques. I recently found another method for removing edge fringes inside Photoshop main interface. The 'minimum' filter can work wonders, removing such fringes if applied to an image mask. I wasn't aware of the inner glow method you showed us. I really did find that one very interesting and potentially VERY useful. It never ceases to amaze me how many different ways we can do things in Photoshop! Thank you, once again.

Great tips - especially the "inner glow" technique which I'd never come across before. Thanks a ton Matt! Roger

Another method that I have found works okay when you're using a layer mask is to load the layer mask as a selection invert the selection so that you have the outside of the item selected. then modify the selection by expanding it and sometimes feathering it by one pixel and fill with black. as you said there are lots of tools to work with this is just another option

[@ronmarchelletta2423]

Isn't this the same as contracting the original selection?

Wow! Love the inner glow option. That was new to me. I will definitely keep it in mind. Great tutorial. Thanks.

Great tutorial. A small addition to keep the layer mask but have a quick solution: in the "Select and mask" workspace I often work with "Shift edge". Drag the slider a little bit to the left. That often gets rid of the fringed edges, I also try to combine it with the feather and contrast. Works great for subjects like the first example, but not so good for "hairy" things like peoples hair or fur.

You're welcome Simone!

[@JanVizner]

Thanks Matt, this is my big problem.

[@keys549]

Matt, when you did the inner glow, I noticed some fringing on the girls arm. Can you combine these methods so you can get rid of the arm fringing? Thanks for this video. Peter

[@ChristinaMcKay]

Keys 54 You can convert almost every layer style to a normal layer by right click on the effect in the layer panel and choose "Create layer". That puts the layer style on a regular layer. Then add a layer mask and paint out the effect where you don't want it.

Chris McKay Thanks Chris.

[@rolfmildh2173]

Thanks Matt, you are great.

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks :-)

[@DigitalLadySyd]

Could you just Apply the Mask by right clicking instead of selecting the mask and clicking on image thumbnail and CTRL+J for own layer? Just wondering. Thanks.
