In this method, we will be using the refine edges tool, which is one of the easiest ways to make smoother edges.įollow the below steps to apply this tool: It can be found in the options bar at the top of the workspace. Photoshop provides a feature that refines edges to automatically smooth edges of the object. Let's understand them: Method1: Using the Refine Edges tool There are different methods to make the selection edges smoother. There are different methods to make the edges smooth.
#HOW TO DRAW SMOOTH LINES IN PHOTOSHOP WITH A TABLET HOW TO#
Now, understand how to smooth edges in Photoshop by using the Antialiasing and feathering technique. Alternatively, we can press the Shift+F6 key combination as a shortcut to apply the feather. We can also define the feather by navigating to the Select-> Modify-> Feather menu. The technique for using the feather is first to define the selection where we want to use it then blend it with the image. Usually, the feathering is used to blend into the background or another image to soften the edges. We can define the feather radius value from the options bar, making the edges value blurry and soft according to the defined radius. What is Feathering in Photoshop?įeathering is a technique to make the selection edges softer and blurry. The selection will automatically be aliased. Once we turned off the antialiasing feature from the options bar. Every selection tool is in Photoshop implements an antialiasing technique unless we turned off the antialiasing feature manually. Usually, we use the rectangular marquee tool, which produces nice and crisp edges of the selected region. While Antialiasing is a technique that reverses the aliasing effect, it smoothes the object's jagged edges by repairing the pixels with similar color pixels.Ĭonsider the below image, which demonstrates both the techniques:įrom the above image, the first picture is in alias format, and the next picture is after applying the antialiasing technique applied. Aliasing is the visual stair-stepping of the object edges that occur in a low-resolution image while editing. What are Aliasing and Antialiasing?Īliasing and Antialiasing are two important terms to be understood before dealing with pixel-based editing. Before we proceed further, let's understand the Antialiasing and feathering. In this section, we will discuss a step-wise process to make the blurry edges smooth by using the Antialiasing and feathering technique. In all these scenarios, we will get blurry edges of the object.
Sometimes we also require to cut an object from an image and merge it with another image. All the techniques are equally effective. We can follow any of them at our convenience. There are so many approaches in Photoshop to cut out an object or remove a background Photoshop.
Also, we can remove unwanted objects from the image using the same technique. Removing background is one of the essential and useful techniques for professionals to edit a photo professionally. Mostly in complex backgrounds, when we remove or change the image background, the edges of the main object get blurry or distorted. But, don't worry about that, we can make it natural by smoothing it. During image editing, the edges of the object will usually become blurry, which does not look natural. It is very important to keep the edges smooth while editing a photo in Photoshop. Next → ← prev How to Smooth Edges in Photoshop
