In this video we're going to look at 3 of my favorite ways to remove those pesky little halos and fringes from your selections and masks using Photoshop.
Thanks again, Matt. Last week I had a similar problem with the borders of a mask and you are giving me now three different methods to solve it. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your suggestions. I'd tried everything I knew of, and I'd been scouring the internet for solutions. Then I came upon your video. The last option using "defringe" did the trick. So many things, and that was the one that worked. Who knew? I now realize I should've made a step-by-step guide for future reference. I go through so many steps, and I'll forget from one day to the next what I did last time. Thanks again for the assistance. You saved the day!
Matting > Defringe? Matt, you are our saviour! That's a great new technique for me. Thank you. :)
This was brilliant!!! Will now be one of the most powerful tools for my Photoshop tool box - never knew about it till now. Thank you.
What a great tutorial on fringing! Who would dislike this, duh!
Excellent, as usual Matt. Timely too - I just returned from vacation with a number of images that will require sky replacement (with lots of trees to deal with!). This will be very helpful. Thanks!
Awesome tutorial, thanks Matt.
really useful Matt thank you
Wow, brilliant stuff, Matt! Thanks very much.
Lovely tools... as usual, thanks Matt !!!
EXCELLENT!!! With capital Letters, Matt, I love your vids, and your courses as well, you are my master teacher!
Thank you for this great tutorial.
Brilliant, did not know about the defringe. Thanks Matt
GREAT video Matt. I've been struggling with the fringes of the trees in my photos. Now I have some great tools to eliminate those pesky fringes. Thanks
Thanks Matt the matte was great!
This is an awesome training video, thank you!!!!!
Great video, Matt! Thank you!
Great demo, thank you
Thanks so much! Too many takeaways to count. Thanks for sharing.
Matt! Crushing it again!
Great tip Matt!
Good for the beginners
that defringe option is insane!
Oh yeah, great stuff Matt, thank you from down under in the land of OZ.
What a great tip !! Thank you so much.
you are the King...
Nice! Thanks Mat....
Great video!
Just make a mask, then roughly select the area ON THE MASK where the fringing happens, then in the properties panel for the mask, give it up to 1 pix feather OR blur it,
then hit command+L for the levels on the mask and drag the black slider to the right until the fringing is gone. (Maybe then also reduce the feather of the mask back to 0 pix for a really sharp edge).
This way you don't have to paint to much with the smudge tool.
OR
put a blank layer on top with a clipping mask in color blend mode. The pick the color underneath and paint on the blank layer. This way you color the fringes with the help of the clipping mask.
Great tips, thanks MK!
One other *big* problem I see with sky replacements is replacing just the sky but not its *reflection* in any water below!
R Garlin Thx. This was an excerpt from a course I did and a tutorial specifically on removing fringes not a full sky replacement. The full tutorial had the water done as well :)
@@MattKloskowski Of course!👍Ha ha, and sorry! - I shoulda made it clear I was referring to folks who proudly showed me their ('half-finished') sky replacements...😀
super tuto ! I always wondered if ON1 with its chizel and blur tools had created tools not existing in photoshop. smudge... is the answer. what about the blur tool in same section ? useful in selections along edges ?
Neat!!
If after masking out a maybe a green background with ‘decontaminate color’ selected you still have contaminated green near the fringe can you take a clipped and hue and saturation layer with refined green hue selected to mask out the green gunk?
Jim Mauch Hi Jim. It’s possible and sounds like it’ll work. Tough to say without doing it... so give it a try :-)
Minimum and maximum let you do the same as the defringe but with more accuracy, as you can go for decimal of pixel, and you can do it straight on the mask.
Thank you! I was screaming (in my head LOL) - maximum and minimum!
Always enjoy your very well produced and educational videos. Rather than go to the layer mask, press control and then Control J to make a selection of the woman couldn't you have just applied the layer mask? To me that seems much faster. And, if you worried about being destructive to the layer you could just make a copy of that layer so that if you needed to use it later....
For some reason I can NOT get Refine Edge to work for me. I must be doing something wrong, especially seeing how easy it was for you in this video! I just get reverse selections (tried both + and - brushes!) and fluffy funky stuff. I end up just using alpha channels instead. It's slower, but at least it works for me!
Hi Matt. Love your work. It’s very helpful. I’m having a weird issue only with your last two videos. My Apple TV crashes and restarts just after you finish introducing the video. It’ll only play a few seconds once you transition to the screen capture. Weird. I watch hours of RUclips on my Apple TV and this only happens on you last two videos. Any ideas?
Samsung..... hehehe
Unfortunately I don't know about this one Craig.
Not sure this question directly relates but here goes. When I sharpen an image in Topaz Sharpen AI from Photoshop, I do so from a layer in PS. Sometimes when I leave Topaz, the sharpened object looks like a cutout on the background, in other words, the subject's edges look like a composite even though it isn't. How can I soften the sharpened subject in PS? I tried select and mask and smudge but as best I could tell, that did nothing. Any suggestions?
Hi. My suggestion would be to not sharpen to the point where things look bad. That’s usually a sign you’ve sharpened too much. But if you do it on another layer, you could always try using a layer mask to hide parts of it. But the best way to remove negative effects from a filter that you applied is to not apply so much of the filter that you get negative effects. Hope that helps.
Eeek! Vampire clouds!
They don't have reflections!
...
Yes, I know, not a full retouch. But I still thought it was amusing.
Good tutorial, including methods I don't normally use. Thank you.
Doug Sundseth thx. This is an excerpt from a sky replacement tutorial in my course. I do the full thing in that video, but it would have taken this video off topic/course, as it was just about fringes :-)
Do watch the direction of the light, those clouds are illuminated differently.
I was interested in how you were going to fix the reflection....
