Outline on Pasted Images

[steelshell]

When I use the Lasso Select tool to Cut a selected image (in this case, a person from a photo), then paste them onto another photo, the pasted image is surrounded by an outline, so that it is not "seamless." How can I paste it so that it blends with the background, and does not have this outline, or border? I tried pasting into new layer, and pasting just straight into the destination photo. The objective is: Two family group photos of the same size, nearly identical in every way - need to cut person from one photo, paste into second photo that was taken seconds later, so that ALL the family is included in the photo.

Thanks!

Paste onto a new layer, then use the AA's Assistant plugin to smooth the edges out.

EDIT: also, remember to press ctrl+d to deselect before using the plugin.

EDIT2: actually, the selection might be the outline you are talking about. Press ctrl+d to check before you download the plugin

When you paste the selected person into their own layer, try using one of my feather effects.

Hope this helps.

It wasn't that the object was selected, I did have the sense to check that first =^)

Using the AA's Assistant Plugin worked perfectly - problem solved! Thanks so much for your help, I was making myself crazy yesterday, trying to figure out how to make that outline go away...
