Finally, we'll smooth out the blur with a contrast adjustment which will leave some nice smooth and rounded edges. We could use Photoshop's contrast adjustment directly, however the Levels adjustment provides better results. So choose Image > Adjustments > Levels or use the keyboard shortcut command-L (control-L on Windows). In the dialog, make these settings:
Learn how to sharpen an image on the edges only with this Photoshop tutorial. Ordinary sharpening methods sharpen the entire image including the areas that you don't want sharpened such as the skin, clouds, etc. But with this tutorial, you'll learn how to sharpen only on the edges so that artifacts don't appear.
Next, because I want my photo to look like it was painted onto a white background, I need to fill this new layer with white. I could use Photoshop's Fill command for this, but there's an even easier way. First, press the letter D on your keyboard to reset your foreground and background colors to their defaults of black and white, respectively, if they're not set to that already. You'll see them switch back to black and white in Photoshop's Tools palette:
With the new image file, apply your desired sharpening technique. I will be using the Smart Sharpen filter (Available on Photoshop CS2+ only) on the luminance channel. Go to Image> Mode> Lab Color to convert the image to Lab color. Then, press Ctrl+1 to select the luminance channel. The image should now appear grayscale. Go to Filter> Sharpen> Smart Sharpen and use the tool to sharpen the image. If the Smart Sharpen filter isn't available, use the Unsharp Mask filter (Filter> Sharpen> Unsharp Mask) instead.
2. Make a good sized selection around what you want in the final product. Allow a little extra room as well to create enough space for the soft edge so you won't lose some of what you would like to keep.
THE PERFECT tutorial for when you want to get rid of those choppy edges or corners. Using this tutorial, you can turn any sharp corner into a shape with smooth edges.
What happens when you do not properly glue your pieces of paper together and leave them flinging around? Torn paper edges is what you get. When, at that moment, you might not be happy about it, this tutorial will teach you how to apply (and safely undo) torn paper edges to your text and/or logo.
Since non-destructive is really the best way to work, rather than using the eraser to delete areas from our rounded rectangle, we're going to apply a Layer Mask to it. We can then paint onto the Layer Mask without ever disrupting our original shape. Click the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers palette and notice that a new Layer Mask is added to your Photo Edges layer and that the Layer Mask has little brackets around it telling us that it is the active working surface.
In this Photoshop tutorial I'll show you how to make some cool edge effects using the power of Smart Objects and Smart Filters in Photoshop CS3.
With the Rectangular Marquee tool selected from the Tools bar by pressing the M key, I'm going to make a square selection on the right hand side of the sticker. I'm doing this because if I bend the corner with the entire sticker selected I'll get more peel than I want. (*note: Keep the selection fairly close to the sticker edges to make transforming a touch easier.)
Start by opening any image you want to work on. Double click the layer to unflatten it. Create a new layer and fill with any solid or gradient color. Move this below the image layer so that it serves the purpose of a background layer.

The following tutorial will teach you how to create burnt edges on a picture � only you won't have to use matches this time!
Look at the following object. You'll notice that the object has rough edges. Artifacts like that is what people like to call jaggies. Lots of jaggies can be avoided when you use the anti-alias option (if available) of a particular tool as much as possible. In some situations jaggies still appear and I'm going to show you how to remove them. Let's use this object as an example.
One of the all-time classic effects in Photoshop is the burnt edge, and there's lots of different ways to create it, but in this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we're going to look at a way that's not only easy, it's also extremely flexible.
Here's an effect that I use quite often with my own photos to bring more attention to the main subject of an image or just to give photos a little more warmth and personality. Once you see how easy it is to create, I think you'll find yourself using it as much as I do. We're going to learn how to darken or burn the edges of a photo, creating a vignette effect, and we're actually going to create the effect using a filter in Photoshop that was designed to remove such a "problem" from an image. In Photoshop CS2 (you'll need Photoshop CS2 or later to complete this tutorial), Adobe introduced us to the Lens Correction filter. This filter's main purpose is to help us remove common problems that can be created by camera lenses, such as barrel distortions, chromatic aberration and vignetting. It's a great addition to Photoshop's ever growing collection of photo editing tools, but there's no rule that says you have to use Photoshop the way the folks at Adobe intended. As we'll see, the same filter designed to remove dark edges from a photo also happens to be a great way to add them!

Now go to Select->Inverse to inverse your selection. Now what you got selected is the outer border of the image. Now go to Select->Feather and enter 4. This will soften the edges.
Step 3: Change the pull-down menus to percent and enter 10 for both width and height, and click Okay. This should give us some space around all edges. NOTE: If you forget to unlock your "Background" layer in Step 1, you won't be working with a transparent background (gray & white checkered squares), as shown below.

In this Photoshop tutorial I'll show you how to create a cool old photo transfer edge effect using a piece of stock photography, an alpha channel and the burn and dodge tools.
First, I downloaded a nice black and white border from PhotoSpin.com. Here's a direct link to my search results. I also downloaded one of their people images from the Boy & Girl Friends volume. Open both files at the same time. I sized mine so they would match.
Double click the layer to open layer style window. Apply settings as shown.
3. Type your text using the "Horizontal Type Tool" and type your text. We are using the (Futura Lt BT) text, a text size of "48" pixels and "Sharp" anti-aliasing.
First, open up the image you want to work on. I’ll be using this fetching tiger from the Stock.Xchng.
I first noticed this effect with the (animated) launch of the new Iconfactory website. I was later browsing through my normal list of bookmarked sites and noticed that SimpleBits has been doing the same thing for a while now. It's a pretty neat effect that can be recreated with a few filters and adjustment layers.
Open an image and double-click the Background layer to make it editable.
Although Refine Edge can be applied to a selection, the “marching ants�? make it virtually impossible to see how the edge is really being altered. Fortunately, there is a much better way to work with Refine Edge. I suggest making an unfeathered selection, converting the selection to a layer mask, and then applying Refine Edge to the mask. That’s right, I said it—to the mask! As you make modifications to the mask using Refine Edge, you can actually see the physical interaction between the composited edge and what lies below. For this reason, I choose never to use Refine Edge on a marching ants selection.
This is a Photos.com Stock Image I used for this tutorial.
Photoshop's Color Picker will open up. Next to where you see the "#", type in E9DAB3. This will be our background color. Obviously after this tutorial, you can change the background color to meet your needs, however, for the purpose of this tutorial, please use this color. Click the 'OK' button to select the color.
Thanks for your comment. I have try the refine edge command on different images with different modes. It's mostly working fine.
1. Find any image you'd like to use. Make sure your image is NOT in the background layer. Make sure your background is set to the color you'd like the image to blend into(ex. background color of your webpage).
