Hey, friends! If you are confused between using this method or using "Shift Edge" or "Decontaminate Colors" inside Select & Mask, know that all of them are specific to different situations. This technique is important when you want to selectively remove halos fast only from certain areas and not the whole image. It can also be used on the entire image if it lacks hair or fur. Hope it helps! Thanks again, and keep creating ❤️
@@notmyname8527 They didn't create the maximum filter, dude. It's a standard image processing technique, decades old. They didn't invent Gaussian blur either.
Since you already have a mask around her, you can also just use the layer styles and apply an inner glow, which you make black or any dark color that best fits. You can also control radius and smoothness. Then split the layer-style to a separate layer, apply a mask and then only mask it in where you want.
Anyone remember the Microsoft Clip assistant ? I want my Adobe photoshop to come with a mini Unmesh on the side. Every single damn time I am lost, frustrated, or want to break my keyboard because of something not working in PS, I type in "How do I remove the white halo?" My mini Unmesh would guide me in the right path in his soothing and calm voice in a very easy manner .... You are so awesome ma man ...
Hello and thank you for this tutorial. I am familiar with this method and have found that it works VERY well indeed without actually needing to make the selection. I don't usually comment on here but have enjoyed immensely, the content you post, for quite some time. Thank you so much for everything you teach us, it really is much appreciated.
@@AdmoreMethod Hello :) Yes that was what I was meaning. You can apply the 'minimum' filter without having to tell Photoshop where you need the halo removed. It simply removes any and all of them. You can then refine the result everso simply by painting black or white on the mask in the normal way.
Learned this from PTC and JR also explained it very well but there's something about how Unmesh explain things, its more newbie friendly and very easy to understand... Thank you PiXimperfect and PTC my favorite PS teachers...
great, thank you for explaining those filters! one thing I would say though, in this particular case you can get rid of the halos by playing with the options in "select and mask"
If you use levels, you'll have much more control over the amount of removal and the sharpness of the edge and it's still easy to use. This is also a better tool in situations where your selection wasn't perfect and when some parts of the selected image are more in focus than other parts. This is how I use levels: 1. click on the layer mask 2. select part of the image where you'd like to remove the halo with the lasso tool 3. go to filter > blur > gaussian blur and blur the selected part of the mask (the amount depends on the quality of the mask) to get a smoother edge after the next step 4. now use levels on the mask. You can now move the black, grey and white point, giving you much more control TIP: Try to work from "corner" to "corner", so in this case from the point where the two leg connect to the inside of the knee, then from the inside of the knee to the heel of the shoe, then select the heel and the sole of the shoe, etc. This will give a smoother result on longer straight lines.
Interesting technique. I have always found it quite easy to just use the defringe feature. Layer/Matting/Defringe. This works with a cutout image not with a layer mask. So you will need to apply the layer mask to the layer before applying defringe
This is great tip, the only thing I'd add is that some of the leftover brightness is often the light hitting the subject rather than the old background, so you don't want to lose the edges of the actual figure. (I'll typically hit those with, of course, a curves adjustment.) Amazing video as always.
Quick, easy, and to the point, just as always. I love your videos so much! I always recommending your videos to people. You have been the best teacher on youtube I have found over the years. Keep up the great content, you are amazing!
Thank you so much for all that you do. I have been a Photoshop user for many years and yet you still surprise me with little tips and tricks I didn't know existed.
Well, thats one will be useful. I did work with minimum and maximum filters but didnt thing to use it in this way to change mask localy. Thanks for this one. Would love to see more quick mask creating and automation or scripting.
That's a good way of doing it. I was taught another way, so basically subject select then once that's done, you want to make a mask with that then go to filter>other>minimum and doing like 0-1px adjustment to your liking. Hope that helps as another way to do it! Keep up the amazing work Unmesh!!! 🙂
Nicee. I usually just select the outline and then go to select modify and contract the image by around 1 or so. Course that is if you have white around the whole image. But this is a cool method to know for certain situations.
Faster way. Ctrl+left click on the layer mask to get it's selection Ctrl+J on the layer ( not the layer mask), you will copy the content cropped in to a new layer. Now: Go to Layer menu - Halo- Remove halo- set value to 1. This will remove the halo automatically of the whole image. It takes a 6 seconds average to do this to whatever image.
Thanks unmesh sir I like your videos and explanations But for color correction and high end settings i can't clear fanda I m little bit confused that should i learn complete course from institute ???

My inspiration
Me sentindo um gênio por uma das primeiras tricks que você ensina que eu já conhecia
Can you make a video about 3D picture
Sir Can you make a Video On (Foil Balloon Text) ((Your Explanation is Awesome)) :-) Make A video on This Topic:)⏫⏫
Hi!
Unmesh Uploads a video.
Adobe Headquarters: Take notes Take notes.
The guy is next level good.
Indeed
unmesh is my all time photoshop lecturer
@@mcprince4634 it's been like 4 years almost since is started watching his channel... ain't nobody better than him
@@paras6TEEN he explains soo well.....so talented ....i just love his way of teaching
Love when you find uses for things I knew existed but never used.
People at photoshop watching these videos: „damn, that’s pretty neat, I didn’t know you could do that!“
They prolly do.
"damn, that’s pretty neat, I didn’t know I could do that!"
I’m pretty sure a lot of these photoshop tricks make use of techniques they weren’t originally meant for ;)
@@notmyname8527 They didn't create the maximum filter, dude. It's a standard image processing technique, decades old. They didn't invent Gaussian blur either.
*THIS MAN IS SO GOOD I THINK HE MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK WITH ADOBE*
And I thought I was the only one with the thought
If he actually worked at Adobe, the videos would be hidden behind 3 menus and 4 tabs.
He IS Adobe.
He is a billionaire who owns the entire company.
But, It just a dream.
OUR DREAM
Did I just watched a Piximperfect video which doesn't have Curves in it?
Great video btw!
next video: "How to feather and minimum using curves"
I just need to remember to start putting these tips into practice instead of just enjoying the video. Excellent tip!!
SO there are others like me... :P
Whenever this man says "have a look" I know I'm about to see some straight 🔥🔥🔥
Love these shorter videos, quick bites of education for sure!

Definitely YEEESSSSSS
MAKE THIS HAPPPPPPPEN ADOBE
I'd gladly PAY for this addon 😎
i was suffering of this halo every time.. wish i knew this filter earlier i would be richer by saving that time waisted
Me too
You are/were not the only one!
@Unmesh: YOU ARE A HERO!!! 🏆👍
wasted
I just subscribed yesterday and BAM, you just helped me with something I’ve been dealing with. Thanks 😊
It's just the beginning of the good times.
How Adobe hasn't hired you yet is beyond me. Thanks for sharing quality stuff, always. Cheers.
must make more money doing his own thing
This is the best thing I have seen in a long time that I really need!
I saw the thumbnail, thought it was a 🧢, then saw the video 😳🤐. There’s literally a slider I never noticed 🙌🏻. You’re god 😧
I’ve taken soooo many composite courses, and NONE have talked about this. They do the tedious masking.
Well done. And thank you thank you
Fantastic channel! We use your tutorials all of the time!
Was sceptical but just tried this on an image of a guy with afro hair, and it worked a treat! Thank you.
Many times halo's takes much time to get them out.
This method helped me a lot & saves much time.
Love you.
Thanks Sir ji.
I've learned so much of my high-end photo editing techniques from this channel alone. Amazing work, such a simple resolution!

“Without having to make the selection.” Do you mean, it’ll do the whole subject at once if you just click on it…?

Thank you Unmesh. It was nice meeting you last week at Imaging.
Thank you so much this helps with the annoying problem.
I love this kind of videos u create more.. its easier to focus.
You are a real genius man. Better then a lot of people that work for Adobe 😂
Thank you very much, years of suffering with this and I never came up with this solution, you are a genius
another great tip thanks man. no more wasting time trying to manually erase those lines
All those hours of time gone! How have I never thought of this? The amount of time this 5 minute video just saved me going forward is astronomical!!
This man is the hero we need but don't deserve!! Thanks Unmesh! been killing it with these tutorials.
I have been working with Photoshop for... longer than I care to admit, and I had no idea about this! Thank you!

Hi! How would you do it in the select and mask? I’m really curious (quite new to photoshop)
Thanks :)))
@@lunarisfalconstudio Decontaminated /Shift Edge/Smooth These guys work... Whatever left, use this minimum to get rid of.
@@thecgr thank you! Will give it a go :)
Thanks for tip. Also hope you, your family and community stay safe and healthy with the current covid situation.
Nice! I'll give it a try for sure. Normally I use 'inner glow' set to multiply to get rid of halos.
The amount of times I've removed halos manually in company headshots is insane, your videos are very welcome, thanks!
I love this screen size format, makes more good ui photoshop for us who watch it from mobile.
Proprio qualche giorno fa cercavo un video del genere!! Genio!!! Grazie mille :)

Thank you from Scotland, I've always struggled with the halos, this video is perfect, thanks again
I used to erase those halo with the eraser tool
Man you just saved a lot of time thanks man❤️
Wow this is a huge help. So many times I had to use the clone stamp.
You're the best...you just saved timing by this...Thanks
Awesomeness. I can't remember after the 2nd step. Need to go to school! THanks!
I didn't know this tool existed. very handy. thank you!
This tutorial is lifechanging
Wowzer, this will speed up my workflow for most images so much! Insane, thank you for sharing 🙌
Another useful trick to add to my toolbox. Thank you.

Your explanation is very good by the way.
Crazy how I was facing the Halo Issue just yesterday and today you uploded the solution.
Fast and Simple. Good work. thank you!

Thanks for sharing a very useful and certainly arcane tip!
I've been plagued by this issue before so I really appreciate this video/tip. Thank you, keep up the great work!
WOW! That is a huge time saver. It's a lot of work doing this by hand, always afraid of eating too much into the subject. That is awesome!
lol I literally spend like 45 minutes sometimes cleaning up my selections even after the whole "select subject" thing, thanks again my dude
All videos are too much helpful ❣️❣️
THANK YOU! Impressive technique.
Massive help. Been a prob for a good bit of time for me.
Awesome! So much time saved, thanks

your a legend man. Your like my tutor for all things photoshop😍😂
Unmesh, is there anything about Photoshop you DON'T know? Thanks for this great information?
Very helpful, thanks Unmesh
The king is back 💚
This was my go-to filter for post cutouts during my Worth1000/Fark days.
wow!!!!!! I've been working in Photoshop for 20 years and never knew what that menu was for
I found this very helpful, thank you. I've been contracting by one for YEARS.
Thank you so much !! I can learn so many things in here

You sir are a "Beast" in photoshop!
Brilliant - and no 10 minute introduction! Thanks.

MASSIVE HELP! Thank you so much!
Amazing. I’ve spent so many hours, painstaking hours in fact manually removing these
Faster way.
