Unmesh Dinda 0:00 Hi there, this is Unmesh from PiXimperfect,
and today I'm going to share with you a more natural way to fix color fringing around the
edge while cutting out objects.
As you can see, have a look at this subject, here we have a white background and on top
of that we have the subject cut out.
This was the original image.
I have removed the green background and this is the result.
As you can see, the masking is perfect.
Have a look at the Mask.
The Mask is so good with all the hair detailed.
However, if you have a look at the result, it's still carries the green.
Not the fault of the Mask, the Mask is good.
It's just that the hair is so thin that it takes up the color of the background.
Have a look at the background.
Background is so saturated, the hair is bound to take up its color.
There's an easy way to fix that.
Let me show that to you.
All you have to do is to create a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer.
Click on the Adjustment layer icon right there and then choose Hue/Saturation.
Now we need to target the green and change it.
Just change the Hue and Saturation.
That's it.
So, first of all, from the drop down, we're going to choose Greens.
Next step, take the Hue all the way to the right and the Saturation all the way to the
right to see which colors are being affected.
Now, here is the Range Slider.
Which range of colors are we targeting?
So, we can expand it, we can make it narrower.
So in this case, just make sure all of the greens are selected.
We don't need to go into the yellows, which is the hair color, we don't need to go there.
And you can use these two sliders to soften the transition.
The more the gap between these two, the softer the transition would be.
So, I'm going to keep it right there.
I think most of the green is now selected, expand it on the other side.
So, it's selecting all of the greens at the moment.
Let's bring the Saturation and the Hue back to normal positions.
And from here, let's zoom out and adjust it so that all of the greens are gone.
So first, let's adjust the Hue so that it matches with that of the original color of
the hair.
Have a look.
At this point, it's perfect.
You can also control the Saturation if you want to.
Look at the color, the green just went away.
You don't have to do anything at all.
You can try decreasing the Saturation or increasing the Saturation according to your taste, or
change the Lightness as well.
But at this point, I think it's fixed.
So there you go, a very easy way to remove color fringing from hair
However, this might be a problem, if inside the subject or inside the selection, there
is something in green color.
Also, there is one more problem, you cannot change the background to something closer
to green or blue.
Otherwise, the Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer will affect that as well.
Have a look.
Look at the color that we have selected and it shows up green in the background.
So, here is what you have to do.
First of all, hit Cancel and make sure that the Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer is limited
just to the Subject layer.
Hold the Alt key or the Option key, click on the line between these two.
Now it's only limited to the Subject layer.
Now, you can go ahead and choose any background that you like and this would work with that.
So red, blue, yellow, green, anything works fine.
Now, do keep in mind that the Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer will also change anything
that is green inside of the Mask or in the selection.
So, if she was wearing a green color jewelry, it would change too.
So in that case, you would have to select the Mask, then press Ctrl or Command + I,
and then take the brush, make sure that the foreground color is white, make the brush
a little larger and only paint over the areas where the green fringe was showing up.
You don't have to be accurate.
And there you have it.
So that's a super easy way to deal with color fringing in Photoshop.
If this technique doesn't work, there are lots of techniques in my channel that you
can refer and watch.
Please do check the link in the description.
I hope this video helped.
I will see you guys in my next one.
Till then, stay tuned and make sure that you keep creating.
