Nothing happens to the image when you add the layer mask. To see your selection more clearly, make the background layer invisible. Now we have a better idea of what we've actually selected. To get to the Refine Edge tool, we'll need to open the Select and Mask window.
Select the rectangular marquee tool keyboard shortcut M or the lasso tool keyboard shortcut L. You'll see a button in the menu bar that says Select and Mask. Click that button to open a new window. Note: To make it a bit easier to see where the Refine Edge tool makes changes, I've added a layer and filled it with pink. With this tool selected, we'll brush around the edges that we want Photoshop to refine.
Before we start, though, you may want to change the size of the brush. There's a brush-size dropdown in the menu bar that lets you quickly increase or decrease the brush size. It can be helpful to start with a larger brush and then move to a smaller one as the selection gets finer.
Photoshop extracts contrasting pixels for your selection much faster than you could with a manual tool. As you can see, the selection isn't perfect. But it's a lot faster than manual methods. Keep brushing until you get the selection you want.
Once you've made your selection with the Refine Edge tool, it's time to make a few tweaks to improve it. The first thing to try is Decontaminate Colors. In the Properties tab, scroll down until you see the Decontaminate Colors checkbox. Click it and check out the results. In our case, some of the edges get a bit sharper, so we'll leave the decontamination on.
Below this checkbox, you'll find the Output To: dropdown. You can send this selection to a new layer mask or to the existing mask. We'll select Layer Mask to add it to our current mask. The Output To drop-down menu gives several options for how to use your refined edge.
Use New Layer with Layer Mask to enable edits later on if the edge isn't exactly as you want it. You can also pick a New Document or New Layer for more permanent options. Click Okay in the lower-right corner to save your changes and output your selection. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.

List of Partners vendors. Ian Pullen. Ian Pullen is a former Lifewire writer and an experienced graphic designer and web developer with a strong interest in free and open-source graphics software. Updated on August 31, In this tutorial, I am going to explain to you what is refine edge tool in Photoshop, and every settings in the Refine Edge Tool. Refine edge tool is no longer part of newer versions of Photoshop. Photoshop has replaced the Refine edge tool with Select and Mask tool onwards.
I no longer have access to it because I use the latest version of Photoshop. By turning it on, Photoshop will decide whether the selection is hard selection of table, chair or soft hair, fur. I totally recommend you to turn on this setting every time. As you can see that there are little imperfections left. So, I am going to remove that using the refine radius tool. Select the refine radius tool. Adjust the radius of this brush from the options bar.
