, then the point to point setting to give you
more control.
in so you can see what you want to cut, then
single click around the edges until you have
completed the selection, and then double click
to end it. IF you are having troubles with jagged edges, go to selections | Adjust | Contract, and enter "1". Then go to selections | adjust | feather, and enter a value from "1" to "3". You can experiment with these values to get the cleanest edge.Current Comments

You have to increase the amount of colors by clicking the Image menu, then Increase Colors, and then set it to either 8 bit or 24 bit.

Why don't you use feather?
For me it's always a great help to avoid unclean edges when set to small values (for most pics 1 to 5 pixels)

hi... I learned a few things here, but I am looking for how to get the black edges off when making a tube? I've tried feathering but have no luck with that. I use PSP7.

Hi, I was also wondering if you can put a color on a greyscale, and if not with this, if there is something else that you could do it with. I know I've seen it done before, but I've never quite figured it out.
