Often when cutting out images you are left with dark or light edges. These are called halos or fringes. They are easily removed and I&#8217;ll show you exactly how I like to do it. These are other options such as using the matting tools in Photoshop to fix the edges, but I prefer this method for photos of people, because I don&#8217;t want to treat the hair the same as the skin areas. If you do that, you will risk creating <em>&#8220;helmet hair&#8221;<\/em>. To fix the hair, <a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopcafe.com\/tutorials\/how-to-cut-our-hair-in-photoshop-cc-tutorial\/\">I like to use the refine brush in Select and mask and can be found in my extracting tutorials.<\/a>\u00a0More tutorials listed at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of other tutorials, feel free to use the search bar at the top of PhotoshopCAFE (It works really well) and you will discover tons of other useful tutorials, just like this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out the video to see the steps and then read the written instruction for clarity and reference.
