  • Thanks for showing us how the refine edge works but WHY does it work the way it does?? Many show us how to do things in Photoshop but hardly ever WHY.

    My question is the REFINE RADIOUS TOOL revealed further whiskers when you drew out from the bunny. Why did the RRT reveal WHISKERS and NOT the rest of the BACKGROUND ??

  • @raintrainer - by starting on the rabbit and painting away I told the Refine Radius Tool (RRT) analyzed the areas I wanted to keep. When holding the OPT/ALT key and clicking or painting the background, you tell the RRT what areas you want to remove. In either case, it's analyzing the area within the brush radius.

  • hi after using the Refine Edge command, how could I insert a background into it.

  • @winlee09 - when you use the Refine Edge command, you have several options for either new layers, new layer with mask, or even new document. To add a background, you would create a separate layer, and place it below the selection you made with Refine Edge.

  • @AJ CAN U HELP ME WEN I DO THIS IT MAKES MY PICS EDGES FADE OUT IDK Y CANU HELP ME

  • @81GPAT - if the brush is pulling too much information out, hold the Option key (on a Mac), or the ALT key (on a PC) to reverse the effect. You will also need to adjust the Edge Detection settings (you probably don't need as high a value as I use in the video).
