Remove Green Edge Artifacts

The image is masked, but most likely it will have green artifacts near the edges. Before we can call this project complete, we need to remove those artifacts.

Step 10

Create a new layer (Layer> New Layer or Shift+Ctrl+N). In the Layers pallet, move the layer to the bottom.

Step 11

Fill the bottom layer with a 50% gray. To do this, press Shift+Backspace and the Fill tool should appear. Select 50% Gray from the Use drop down menu and click OK.

Step 12

With a 50% gray background, the green edges are clearly visible and the background will help us with the next step.

Step 13

Select the top layer and open the Hue/Saturation tool (Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation or Ctrl+U). Select Green from the Edit drop down menu and set the saturation to -100. Immediately green edge should disappear.

Step 14

Now that we're done, paste the background you would like to use as the bottom layer.
