[@glyndewis]

Cheers John ;)

[@WelshIron]

Great tutorial, thanks Glyn. This is something that has been annoying me for a while!

[@speel1959]

Nice and simple tip as always Glyn...thanks for sharing with us !

[@bretlinford6096]

Brilliant, Glyn! This is super useful. I wanted to add a little tip, if I may: sometimes when I have a good mask but only one little spot that is haloed, you can easily push in the mask with the smudge tool.
Glyn, I love all of the stuff you and Dave have done together. To me, it is your signature artwork - my favorite of all you do. Whimsical as it is, it is truly fine art.

[@c_sarantopoulos]

Brilliant and easy technique! Thank you!

[@DenJock]

Thanks Glyn !

[@loizoschristodoulides602]

Great tutorial as always thank you

[@alexandrugrecov8964]

very very useful .

[@jaysonjeff]

Great tutorial.
Another nondestructive way I use is to Select the Mask. Then Menu-Filter/ Other/ Minimum 1px.
Then use the Mask Properties Panel to Feather the edge to blend the edges into new backgrounds.

[@CommodusSPQR]

Interesting video. We do school photography and it's a real time consuming problem, especially when it comes to contemporary groups, so with the next season approaching it'll be fascinating to see how things speed up...

[@glyndewis]

Hope it helps

[@Capinyx]

thank you!

[@jupru220]

Thank you for sharing this awesome technique!

[@biscuitbiteC]

Thanks Glyn great video.

[@suruha2306]

Well, that's nice to know! I have been adding an Inner Glow Layer Effect, set to a dark color, on Darken Blend Mode. It leaves a dark edge all the way around, though, so, it has to be very subtle! LOL Must give this way a go!
Thank you!
Su

[@Dennis-cl7ov]

[@glyndewis]

You’re welcome

[@letterbytes3405]

Cool!

[@indigokj]

Hey Glyn -- I also follow you on Instagram and just recently found your RUclips site. Just wanted you to know I watched this video last week, and had an occasion to use it yesterday; it was perfect for my situation. So thank you!

[@glyndewis]

Hey Keith...this is so good to hear...thanks for letting me know and thanks for following. Cheers

[@snakeshiet]

i have used after i select the cutout, shrink selection by say, 1 pixel or whatever and that gets rid of most of the halo, of course i learned that a long time ago and i am sure your method is better, will try it next time, thanks for the tip. just an amateur here :)

[@glyndewis]

Not necessarily a better technique but just another to add in the 'tool box', What I like about this one is how you control how much it shrinks rather than doing it by one pixel then another etc... Does that make sense?

[@snakeshiet]

i think for sure your way makes more sense, i agree masking is a better

[@glyndewis]

All depends on the image to be honest...there's place for every technique really ;)

[@OscarObians]

Another genius tip. Thank you so much

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Oscar :)

[@DJAxelBourne]

[@dennisbeers]

Thank you very much for the vidio!

[@glyndewis]

You're welcome

[@carlthegnarl]

Brilliant! Love the simplicity of that method. Too bad I can only like this video once :-)

[@glyndewis]

:)

[@igorr4682]

you can also modify the selection and contract by one pic, invert the selection and paint it away with black brush

[@sarahfitzgeraldjones7339]

Fantastic! Thank you x x x

[@YoungNino2017]

lesson I learned here: always just use the pen tool in the first place

[@rohitnikalje409]

helpful . Thnks bro

[@ickledotco]

Good one!
