You just saved millions of hours for retouchers who manually spend hours removing fringes! Good job!

This is amazing, I was compositing on photoshop and could not remove the fringing from a cut out, so I came back to this channel looking for a potential tutorial and you posted it 2 minutes ago ! Thank you

Jesus, I've been killing myself cleaning up white halos when knocking out product, objects and people from backgrounds for years. I wished I'd watched this video when you first published it in April when I had some outlining to do. Keep up the good work on explaining ALL the techniques, steps and nuances when using Photoshop.

[nathanwolf]

In all the videos I’ve watched, I’ve never seen this technique before. Brilliant!

OMG. I have spent hours trying to find ways to get better selections. Countless hours online seeking for the magic slider that was going to get me closer. This was by far the best tool I have seen. I am excited to try them in my projects. Thank you so much for this. You are the best!

[sunnysalman]

Wow! This tutorial is just out of the world. There are many tools in Photoshop that we don't know how to use it smartly and you always shed the light on them. Thank you very much for doing this, we really appreciate your extraordinary knowledge about photoshop.

[jeanfernandez]

Thank you!!! You just solved a big problem for me. You are a wonderful teacher and genius at finding these gems!

[graphicallydeb]

I learned about this filter, and also some new keyboard shortcuts, also the blur. The little things add up- this was a fantastic help. ( I did not know about the expand/ contract either, or exactly what fringe was). What a great tool. I am sure my work will be easier and better.
