Hi, I am trying to remove color fringing from the hair in the photo above. The original is the left and on the right is my attempted cutout of the subject. After masking
and using overlay mode on the brush on the layer mask, the color fringing from background reappears and I haven't exactly found a complete solution to this problem. No luck with clipping mask or hue and saturation mask either. Any suggestions or ideas is greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Try this:
1. Add a new layer above your masked person layer.
2. Clip the new layer to the masked person layer below and change the blend mode of that new layer to color.
3. Now get a soft brush and work around the edges Alt clicking to pick up color from the solid area of the person as you go and painting that colour up to the edges (you will need to repeat that to change the colour as you work around the edges).
The idea is to paint those fringe edges to the main colour of the person without altering the luminosity. That should remove the colour fringe whilst retaining the natural brightness, and by clipping you will avoid painting outside the fringe.
