Seth Hendrick Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 I have been having this problem since I purchased the app. When I use the refine tool, the edges of my selection are blurred and sometimes, totally screwed up (different parts of the image have odd transparency patterns). I have an example video. There should be a clear, sharp edge circle, but there is not. This only happens when I use the refine tool. It is otherwise fine when making selections. Anyone know why and how to fix this? FullSizeRender-153064.mov Quote
DM1 Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 I suspect the issue here is that you have no real 'edges' in the selected area to refine. It’s application is targeted at edge refinement such as selecting fine hairs against a contrasting background. You may get a slightly better result in your example by tapping to the context sub menu and adjusting Smooth setting, but that loses the sharpness of simply duplicating the original selection without refining.

Seth Hendrick Posted November 19, 2021 Author Posted November 19, 2021 So, let’s say I have a body to cut out. There are a few non-contrasting spots to the body, but not at the hair. How do I make the selection sharp and still be able to refine the hair? Quote
DM1 Posted November 19, 2021 Posted November 19, 2021 Export as masked selection layer and touch up the mask to fix any blurry edges, or use the pen tool.
