someguypa Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I need to adjust a photo of a child sitting on adults knee in front of a portrait backdrop. What I did: 1. Used the lasso tool to cut out just the child and put on a new layer. 2. Created a new layer as a background, set a radial gradiant. 3. Merged the layers The problem is blending edges. The result looks like I cut out the picture and glued it onto the background, and specifically the hair; since this was a closeup you can see the color of the old background through the ends of the hair and the body has a cut and pasted look to it. What is the recommended way to do this? Any of the bluring effects don't seem to give the desired results, they just de-focus the edges but don't blend them? This is my first use of paint.net so looking forward to hints and techniques! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
