I've not been posting much lately - I have taken up a new activity (building to a charity event) that I have never done before - once it's over I never will again either!

P.S. I took some of the photos in the event flyer - but did not do the photoshop or design work. Made sure they had a nice white background to cut out against and the fringing is dreadful.

:rofl:

Since CS5 there is a refine edge button that just takes care of this for you. If they are using up to date software they are either unbelievably lazy or very uninformed.

I think I would go for the latter option Rich.

The feathering option has been available for a long time on a selection and as you say the Refine option is there to make it even easier.

Even with out the new functions you can defringe by simply loading the transparency mask, contracting it by 1 or 2 pixels, reversing the mask and deleting. I've had an action that does this in milliseconds...since Layers began.

I've had a (work) project on going since Christmas. One of my clients 'bought a camera' and decided to shoot their own furniture against a white wall. Nothing wrong with that until they realise not all the wall is pure white (they didnt light the wall!) and using a magic wand ....isnt magic!

So when they asked me to put their furniture in 'settings' (cos its winter over here and the gardens are naff) it presented a few challenges to say the least. Trying to match the shooting angles of two differnet images (product + background)...not to mention the studio and outdoor lighting ...and reflections!

I dont usually show any work on here but ...

:sssshh:

So are you into boxing yourself Rich?
