Whenever I cut out an image, say, of a horse to put it in a nice background, I can't seem to get it nice and smooth. Any tips? Edited at September 18, 2019 05:24 AM by Tanglewood |

What software are you using / what site are you using?
If you have downloaded Adobe Photoshop or are using the online, free version Pixlr then they have a linear lasso tool that allows for neat, perfect cutting.
The linear lasso too operates on both via clicks. For the best results, use short-spaced clicks and zoom right in on the edges you wish to conform to. This is the method that many artists use to cut items and to select editing spaces. |

I'm mainly using Pixlr. Thanks for the help! |

If you use Pixlr you can use the 9fade brush that gives it a smoother appearance. Smudge on strength 100 also helps. |

Ooh thanks! And does anyone have tips on how to make the mane look realistic? After I've cut it out it looks fake |

Smudge on strength 100 size 1. Then when finished smudge it all with one giant brush. XD Smudge is your friend. |

The smudge brush on Pixlr is very different to that on Photoshop. Even on 1% strength it basically decimates the object. I would not advise using the smudge brush on 100% at all. https://i.imgur.com/347oLAO.jpg
This is what the smudge brush on 100% does to your image. (Thank you Robert Downey Jr for a pretty example base).
Unfortunately bar using a very, very light blur and then drawing back the details, there isn't much of a way to achieve the same soft effect on Pixlr as there is on Photoshop.
