Why are Photoshop smooth edges essential?
Have you ever cut a person, animal, fruit, or another object in a photo in Photoshop CC and pasted it into a different background? If your answer is “Yes” then you’ve probably experienced jagged and pixelated edges on your cutout, especially in the area of hands, feet, and hair. Photoshop smooth lines will help you solve this problem.
Why does this happen? There are several reasons:
Selection tools don’t perfectly circle areas with hair or fur.
The low resolution of a picture makes the edges look pixelated.
The subtle contrast between the object and its original contrast.
In any case, uneven edges are not good. After all, when you stick the cutout object with another background or object, it may look completely out of place, as if it were artificial.
Smooth edges, on the contrary, look very natural. For example, if you stick together two images of yourself taken by a camera in the same location but in different dresses, it will seem as if twins are standing next to each other. That’s why you need to refine your picture in Photoshop with anti-aliasing and feathering edges.
