  clean up edges of image

  Posted by Lori Miranda on September 3, 2009 at 5:27 pm

  Hello,

  I am trying to extract an image from its background for use in a video. I used the background and magic eraser tool. For the most part it looks good but it’s pretty rough around the edges (looks pixelated and a little messy). Is there an easy and accurate way of cleaning up the edges of the image? I have zoomed in and gone in with an eraser but it’s really time consuming and not so accurate. Any suggestions on how to do this or to more accurately remove the image from the background?

  Thanks so much!

  To clean up the edges, you can use the brush tool with the mMODE set to OVERLAY.

  good luck
