An edge halo is the effect you’ll see around the outer edges of your selection or layer mask where it becomes considerably noticeable that you’ve adjusted the image and edge halo’s look very similar to graduated highlights or the effect you get when you over sharpen edges for example. The key to remember is that you want to try avoid edge halos at any cost. However, here are several starting points which are based loosely on certain situations that you may come across in your editing. Whilst this answer isn’t very helpful, it’s true none the less. The answer to this question will vary depending on the resolution of the digital image you are editing, the selection you are making and the type of adjustment you are going to perform. Feather Selection OptionsĪs you can see there aren’t a lot of options when it comes to feathering, so the decision making process is quite straight forward and perhaps the only question you need to ask yourself is how many pixels will be required to soften my selection? The feather adjustment is located under “Select > Modify > Feather…” or your can use Photoshop’s keyboard shortcut and press “Shift + F6” to bring up the adjustment window. Setting The Scene…īefore I begin, I think it’s key to quickly highlight that in order to use the feather adjustment you need to first have an active selection. There are a variety of ways you could achieve this desired effect, but in this tutorial I’m going to demonstrate the simplicity of photoshop’s feather adjustment. In most cases when editing images you want your adjustments to be seamless, blending into the photograph which is why you’ll need to soften the edges of your selections on occasions. When I referred to the refinement of your selection, I’m really talking in terms of definition and how sharp the outer edge of your selection will be. Take a brush tool and paint over your subject using white.As you start to become more advanced with your photoshop skills, you’ll undoubtably begin to create selections and layer masks on a consistent basis and depending on the type of adjustment you intend on performing your selection may need refining to better suit the outcome you are trying to achieve. Hold ALT or OPT key and click on layer mask icon. Now add inverted layer mask to mask layer.
