Key Takeaways

Actionable points curated for this category.

01

Choose the right selection method

Match tools to contours: lasso for simple shapes, edge-aware brushes for hair, paths for hard lines.

02

Replace pixels with believable context

Source fills from areas with matching light, texture, and perspective; blend using low-opacity, staggered passes.

03

Maintain background continuity

Extend lines and patterns, align grain and blur radius, and add subtle noise to unify composites.

04

Non-destructive editing keeps options open

Work with layers, masks, and smart objects; avoid erasing so you can revise or A/B changes later.

05

Mind shadows and reflections

Remove or rebuild shadows consistently, soften edges, and tune opacity to keep lighting believable.

06

Finish with global checks

Zoom out, flip canvas, and compare before/after; fix color casts and contrast to hide retouching.
