2 Easy Tricks to Remove White Edges or Fringes from Cut-Outs in Photoshop

[@maryammubarak2835]

Even if someone pays for the photoshop course they wont go into these much details. You are giving amazing tips for FREE hats off to you Unmesh you are doing an amazing job :)

[@Gottaculat]

I can vouch for this comment. I dropped out of the Illinois Art Institute because their Photoshop course was teaching me stuff I'd already learned in my high school commercial design elective class. Save your money, and learn for free from these guys online.

[@lucutes2936]

@@Gottaculat were you looking for a job after dropping out?

[@SirKolass]

You'd have to be an extreme idiot to pay for that when you have everything for free on youtube LMAO

[@IRedpunk]

That's true, I learned the basics but these videos really help to go deeper.

[@IRedpunk]

@@SirKolass In some countries you need certification to pretend for a better wage.

[@justasingledronevideo2583]

Your videos could not be more quick and concise. You quickly tell us how to do these things but also you say commonly asked questions and answer them. And not to mention the perfect production quality! Simply amazing.

[@hollyperret]

I love when you explain something that makes complete sense and then ask if it made sense, answer that it didn’t make sense, and then explain it again. Seriously, I love it. So funny. But also, showing the different ways to understand something is the mark of a great teacher.

[@husepher]

Lol, it is pretty silly

[@BlackberryKin]

I've been taking Photoshop classes for years and I never knew you could make so much use out of the smudge tool and the legacy brightness and contrast. Very well-made video!

[@whereismymind5518]

unmesh brother, you're a gift from the god. please never stop blessing us with your tips, tricks, and tutorials.

This is one of the best photoshop tutorials i have ever seen! He is so precise & clear with his description. He also speaks in a way that captures & keeps your attention!

[@wallomaie1752]

I see why you are deserving of the praise you keep getting.

[@AZskylite]

Very talented instructor. Learned a lot and I love that the commands are zoomed in so we can actually see what is being done. The recap is such a plus. Thank you from Constance in Prescott, AZ, USA. PS: Kudos for no background noise...I so dislike the distraction and the sudden volume changes at 3 am in the morning.

[@clarissejoy1452]

I love your accuracy, your detailed knowledge and I bow to your patience and availability to share all these. Thank you!

[@nicolasdupouymanescau]

So good! One tip I use when I do contract the selection is to Hide the selection. The grey tinkling selection line disappears so I have a clear view of what I'm doing while working on the edges.

[@samuelmorkbednarzkepler]

My favorite way of dealing with fringes is to create an hue/saturation adjustment layer. Set it to some dark brown color, or whatever fits best. Put a mask on it and then just paint over the fringed. Effectively what you are doing is that, instead of removing the fringe, you change the color of the fridge to something that makes it look like its a natural part of the image.

[@ernoe303]

A similar way is 'inner glow' set to multiply. But I will sure try your way as well.

[@pictureeyecandy]

I have to say you have one of the best how-to videos out there. Thank you for the tips that are free. You have some of the best tips or tricks and know-how videos out there. I have never been disappointed form any of your videos.

[@stephenbusscher]

Thank you! For a quick and dirty: select everything you don't want around the object, go to the top bar and click select > refine edge... then, put like 2 in the radius box and drag shift edge to 100% (play with these to get what you want). Then, click "ok" and delete your selection. You can also adjust feather in "refine edge" in order to smooth the edges a bit.

[@bitronicc1887]

There is no "Refine Edge" option in the Select menu

[@cathylabudak596]

Finally! An easy way to take care of that pesky white halo!! Unmesh, you rock!!

[@haikalharrion]

your method never fail to amazed me, and it shows on how little I know about Photoshop and i'm learning tons from your tutorial. Im grateful!

[@fidelrodriguez7964]

I previously mentioned to you that you speak very fast for bein tutoring . Kudos to you! You are getting always better and better. Nice tutorial. Appreciate your time and help.

[@GreenSlugg]

Thank you so much for this! I spent all day trying to do this "by hand" - still learning how to use everything, so I don't think of it as time wasted, I think of it as time learning!

[@mazeones]

Great tutorial. It is something that everyone has encountered so I find it very very useful. I am curious how didn't you mention the "Feather" option in properties which almost automatically will remove the fringe all around. Feather has has the ability to be edited as well with contrast and gives sharp or soft results depending on what numbers you entered.

[@BelaMadeira]

Thank you for this. Although I don’t use photoshop, all I do is just use the magic wand tool to select the image, contract by 1, invert the selection, and then delete the background. A bit more of a simplistic approach but it’s enough for what I do. Great content 👍🏻

P.S. please don't get angry, I'm not trying to teach you or anything, but my professor gave a simple way to explain mask, and it's 'White Reveals, Black Conceals'. It has a catchy ring to it, and you could use it in your videos....

[@linoramalho2291]

@PiXimperfect at selection properties, when you're refining the edge, you could have used shift edge to a negative value and it will contract the selection all around

[@shaolin95]

Your videos are the BEST! Can you tell me if its possible to use Free Transform to bring a smaller image into my main image then make it fit the bigger image in one step? I am bringing this snow layer from an action into a much bigger photo and somehow it seems I was pressing SHIFT+T and that was making the layer automatically match the size of the bigger image but only worked once. Now all it does is bring up the text option and its a pain having to use the arrows to enlarge and align. Thanks!!!

[@tomasmairych3616]

Great tutorial as always. I thought it would be better to do it all in Select and Mask, but your methods are far more precise and overall better looking. Thanks a lot bro.

[@Stratelier]

Another method: I can't speak for Adobe terminology but in GIMP there is a blending mode (for brush tools) called "Color Erase" which converts the chosen foreground color into transparency (and similar colors to partial transparency). So if the background is one consistent tone, just eyedrop that color then color-erase the fringes around the subject. It is even reversible (via opposite blend mode, "Behind", which functions like painting normally on a below layer).

[@vazylek2529]

Awesome.....and extremely useful for me, thanks
