Hi. I’m using Photoshop CS4 and am trying to cleanly select a flower. The flower has a white background that I’d like to remove; I’ve used the Select > Color Range. However, it still leaves rough edges around the flower’s petals. This becomes apparent when I drop a black background behind the flower — it has fuzzy edges that needed to have been selected and removed.

Any ideas on how to cleanly remove the background and not have the jagged edges? Thank you.

You’re welcome, Alex. Lots of good stuff there. Master them, and you’ll be pretty dang golden.

Apologies in advance for any dead links you may find. It’s tough to keep up, sometimes.

Phos….
