Question

When using the removal tool in a refined or even selected area, after completion leaves a halo

Downloaded a webp/png image which I then upsized x2 - it is a transparent image that I'm just playing around with Adobe tools - when I went to use the removal tool to remove the logos it added a "halo" or "minimal border" around the entire image. I even tried using the lasso tool to only select the area I wanted to remove and then used the removal tool and the same thing happened again. Any explanations? Can this be resolved. I'm attached 2 graphics the before and after (the one that says remove is the halo one) - in order to see the halo you'll need to flatten the images. I left them transparent so you can see if you can replcate it on your own. Thank you very much for your time looking into this issue.  Using photoshop 26.3.0 Windows 11

Well I was hoping for user input for this in case there was a resolution which is why I posted here instead of posting something that may have already had a resolution.

This is a user-to-user Photoshop support forum;  Adobe may not see this here.

I suggest you try another selection technique.

I did include images. I simply am reporting a bug with the software - when using the removal tool it should not affect the entire image (creating the halo) only the area you are applying it to. I specified that even when the area is selected/isolated (in my case the logos) and the removal tool is used it is still applying a halo effect to the entire image. This needs to be fixed that's why I'm reporting it.

Sorry (but to me) it's not clear what you're trying to achieve (apart from not having a halo).

Maybe a screen shot of the whole image might help.

I don't want the entire image. Only the logos to be removed - removing the logos should not alter the entire image and create a halo. Thank you for your feedback

Try Select > Subject to see if that offers you a better selection.
