ashf Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 No, it's different. the color decontamination can remove large fuzzy fringe colors as seen such as on hair. Similar to Remove Black/White Matte filter. Photoshop has two color decontaminatios. One in Selection brush(refinement option), One in the Filter menu as an independent filter. Right before "RESULT, CUT OUT HAIR.", you see the Decontaminate colors option.https://photoshopcafe.com/cut-anything-photoshop-3-best-ways-remove-backgrounds-photos/ John Rostron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotMyFault Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 You can decontaminate colors in Photo with just a little bit of extra effort. I support this feature request, but while you are waiting may use these simple steps: add a HSL adjustment, reduce saturation to 0, invert inherent mask, and paint in a quit mask at the edge by brush. the last step could be further automated with extra filters (PT or channel mixer filter to select semi-transparent edge areas, then Gaussian blur to increase width by a few px, another curves adjustment to boost / sharpen alpha ensuring only edges are impacted. Those layers can be recorded as macro or stored as assets for easy re-use.

Discover Hawk Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Although it can be done manually in many ways . but in PS it only takes me a few seconds to press a button, people need tools to save time, that's the goal of all tools, not to make things more complicated, no one wants to use software from the last century, even if they're free, and instead of learning the old ways, I'd rather use the new automated tools like the ones that are now available for auto zooming AI tools, because of AI I've pretty much stopped looking into how to zoom in on images now.

GarryP Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 The search function of these forums is quite bad and can’t handle search terms of fewer than three characters, amongst other things (for example, putting the word the into the search box only gives 65 results). To search the forums better you should use a proper search engine, specifying the site if you can, e.g. <search terms> site:forum.affinity.serif.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, colour decontamination is actually performed during selection refinement, there's just no explicit option for it (the selection refinement preview already has it applied). You have to choose New layer or New layer with mask as the output option for it to apply: the Selection and Mask options don't destructively alter pixel content, so you won't get decontamination with those since the process involves modifying pixel colour values.

Discover Hawk Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I tried it but it not work well, the feature is different from PS , for example, the feature will causes loss of hair detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
