I'm practicing with Refine Edge and moving subjects from one image to another. What do you look for in an image that you use Refine Edge with to determine if it looks good/believable after an object or person is extracted from a background. Besides making sure that the edge is not jagged, hairs are not clumpy, details around an edge are not too soft, are there other things that will make someone looking at an image know that it was extracted from another location?

I have been using refine edge and the quick select tool and getting great results, its creates a layer each time but i cant work out how to show all the cut outs i can only seem to see one at a time instead of all the transparent background, i assume its something to do with layers and masking perhaps.
I just noticed of some of images that Refine Edge creating a strange color around the selection, see my screen attached.

I set the Smart Radius box, and Radius to about 2, smoothness to about 9, and then I take the Refine Radius tool. I start brushing around the edges of the hair to add missing strands to the selection.
1.) When brushing around the head, should the + that is in the middle of the brush be brushing on the very edge of the hair? Should it be touching both the edge of the hair and the background? How does it work best?
2.) Do you only want to use the Refine Radius tool over areas of hair? What else does it work well with?
I have CS6 now. Is there a setting that will change my photos to look like watercolors? As it has liquify, fragment etc.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have original watercolors that I have scanned but need to edit and work with in InDesign. I am getting a gray shadow or hue in the "white" areas between the color. I've tried everything I can think of to remove the gray cast but it seems to be messing with the original color and hue. I've tried scanning at 2400, messing with the contrast, shadow and highlights, curves etc, after 3 days nothing seems to work.

View 6 Replies View RelatedCan you make a Pen Tool path (white), and then, by using the Brush Tool, color it in automatically ONLY within the path's designated area?
Having the ability to do this would enable me to create "digital watercolor" images with texture. I would take the white paths, and then select a color and use the Opacity Tool to make the colors look like watercolor paint by using the Brush Tool. The issue is: can I make a color texture in any path?
Is there a plugin out there that does the following effect :
Seems like it would be simple enough to create manually (albeit require some time), but even more simple to automate through a 1-click plugin, if it's out there.
filter to apply that gives a watercolor effect such as can be made to work in PS Elements. I really like the way Elements handles it but would prefer to do it all in PSP. Are there such things a plugins for PSP that would work like that?

She then wants the pen strokes to be colorized and turned into water color strokes.As an experiment I tried using the "Artistic-Watercolor" filter on some thin lines and the results were lame.
All of the watercolor brushes I have seen online seem for comparatively wide stokes.Is there a filter or action that could turn very thin ink stokes into realistic looking watercolor strokes?
i sketch a people face with pencil tools, create another color layer to color the face.
I use a paint brush to paint the face on that color layer, but when i try to apply water color filter the face color turn black color.
Does it mean a single color won't do in a filter effect? even it doesn't work, the color should be remained instead the black color,
I have a 2d drawing of the front view of a house. I would like to make it into a watercolor presentation using autocad.

Is refine edge better in CS6 than CS5.5 than CS5 - have there been continual improvements
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and have been looking forward to using the incredible masking tools. I found a video by Russell Brown on Adobe TV that was very good....but it was for CS5 and I just wasted an hour of my life trying to figure out where the "Refine Mask" window was in CS6. I finally called support and AFTER the support person watched the video while I was on hold, she was able to tell me that in CS6, you double click on the mask to open the properties tab and have access to the sliders. They are different than in CS5, though.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn PS CS4, I've been working with the "Refine Edge" feature. Or, at least trying to. I open up the feature and I adjust the settings to make the photo look like I want it to. Then I press "OK" and everything disappears. Then, while everything is still selected, I clicked on the pointer arrow to move the selected image to another canvas and the feathering effects don't carry over! Nothing sticks! ? I have a book about Photoshop CS4, but it doesn't tell what to do when something doesn't work right.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did a rough selection on the photo. When I'm trying to refine the edge, I increase the radius in edge detection, but nothing happened at all.When the Radius is set at 0.0px
When the Radius is set at 250.0px, there was no changes.
I am running CS5 and for some reason, the Refine Edge Brush doesn't appear as normal, It has been working fine in the past. Instead it's a circle with a line through it and I can't refine any edges, regardless of what view I select. I have restarted my PC, as well as Photoshop but I can't refine edge. I sent the jpg to another PC with CS6 and it worked just fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen using Refine Edge with a Wacom tablet is there any way to change the brush size (when using the Refine Radius and Erase Refinements tools) other than with pen pressure?
I realise that most tablet users like changing brush size this way but personally I am more comfortable using the keyboard shortcuts.
Am using CS6 trial with mac Lion.
I display an image and i take quick selection tool and make a circle or some formation and if I paint on either side of the selection I get a very distinct line of where I have paint and it is separated perfectly where the selection is. In other words where I painted it is pure and only the color I painted. and this the way it should be and the brush is 100% opacity. OK this is the easy part..if I take the same selection and do a refine edge on it and make a adjustment in refine edge...ie...move the radius slider or any other control that moves the selection and we will say the selection get larger or smaller does not make any difference and I say OK and then I get back my image and I go to paint it there is always some discoloration within the painted surface it is not even the color is discolored or contaminated...even when I give the command remove contaminated colors it is still there and even on a layer you can see the little square in varying shades of grey...it makes no difference if say get rid of the contaminated colors....I still get that discoloration..

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using photoshop CS3 to edit some pictures for a catalogue. Usually i cut around the picture, select magic wand, select inverse, and refine edges to soften the pictures jagged edges.
Now all of a sudden refine edges doesnt behave this way! It doesn't do anything! it shows a preview, but once i click ok, nothing happens. I know this has nothing to do with layers as have checked and there is only one, otherwise i wouldnt see a preview either.
One curious thing it does do is, once ok'd, refine edges actually changes my selection field radius to what it would be had i actually refined the edges. But no change to the graphic itself.
I'm using CS3 and I'm applying a feathered edge to a photo using the refine edges command. The only thing I can't for the life of me figure out, is how to get the now white border to be transparent, so that when it's placed into my InDesign document (overlayed onto another photo) the underlaying photo isn't blocked by the white box.
