firstdefence Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 post a few screenshots, preferably with the layers panel in view and any groups or layers expanded. Make sure before you copy the selection, you have the correct layer selected in the layers panel. Also make sure the layer is a Pixel layer not an image layer.

In particular, I see bits of green around the tops of their heads, as if there are trees or bushes in the background.

benrymnd Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 there is no detail IE the cut out is of a photo of my granddaughters but as you can see the cut out is just an outline and not the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you make the selection?

firstdefence Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Just for the sake of curiosity, use the rectangle selection tool on DSC06574 to select the girls and copy/paste to the "starry starry night" image.

Did you brush over all of the part of the image of the two people you want to including in the selection, or just brushed around an outline of that part?

Cecil Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Or maybe make screen recording of your selection brush workflow and post, with layer panel visible.

firstdefence Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think he had a very small brush size and he thought he was cutting the girls out but in fact he was making a very thin selection.
