lascivious1 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 So I used the selection tool to get this owl out. but when I go into the "refine" tab and put black background on to see the white out line better, I see these flares of colors. I tried using the refine tool to smooth out the flares but it only makes it worse. I have this object selected pretty much perfect around the outer perimeter. Not sure why I am getting this and how the heck do I erase them? Anyone? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Do you have the original image to hand and is it possible to upload it or a link to where it is? If it was paid for don't upload it. I would use the transparent option in the preview dropdown, apply and then underlay a black fill layer to see the flares and erase the flares manually.

PaulEC Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 After using the refine tool, if you still have some fringing, select the image (Ctrl + LM click on layer thumbnail) then shrink the selection very slightly Select - Grow / Shrink), just enough to get rid of most of the fringing, then apply a mask. You might have to play around a bit to get it just right. firstdefence 1 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 : Windows 10 Home Affinity Publisher 2 : Affinity Photo 2 : Affinity Designer 2 : (latest release versions) on desktop and iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
