Quite right, I'm all in favour of a bit of bug hunting. The pixel selection / refine edges approach doesn't work well for everything. Making selections are often so much easier and better with the Pen tool. But, not always Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

Bigby Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Well, the pen tool is my way to go, but it's not very convenient with more complicated, larger objects. ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starengine Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 you guys are so funny biggest takeaway: need better pictures + pay attention to background. having said that, i just can't get my head round how to use the pen tool. is there a video that explains how to select areas + add further selections? i assume it does a lot more - hence why most tutorial videos are 30+ minutes. in regards blurriness... this i get in places where the background is a similar colour. QUESTION: what background should i go for? all white? assuming even if white subject... the cutting out will be more forgiving? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
