remove a white edge around the cut out image

[hansolo]

i have selected an image and created a mask to remove the white background.
So the image of the woman is on a transparent background. i have a problem is there is stil some white renains just on the edges of the image.I have tried to use a burn tool set to highlight at 50 percent opacty this method seemed a little clumsy as some of the jacket was being selected to .
plase can any one help.

can you upload your original image before you did what you did? it will be easier to start and fix from there with better results..

This is where the new Redefine feature really comes in handy in CS5....

i wanted an explanation i made a mask. i selection had a white halo.

[hansolo]

I used the magic wand tool to select the image. I then used a mask on the white shirt to make a more accurate selection. I used expand and contract on the pixels edge. To make a closer selection. with a feather of 1 pixel.


The redefine feature i will try that. ok as i dont want to damage the hair. what a good accurate selection.

Refine Edge is on the top of the screen whenever a selection tool is selected.

Hansolo, as far as making selections around hair, KRF posted a video than should help you here:

Also to get rid of that Halo, try not to use any feathering, that's where the Halo effect is coming from imho...
