|
Im a hobbyist user of photoshop since v5 for many types of uses.
One function I find I use alot is the Select -> Modify -> Contract command..
What I often do.. is crop the borders of my images my a few pixels by first using the rectangular marquee tool to make a selection of the entire image.
If I try to use the contract command after selecting the WHOLE image.. it is greyed out (only in the more recent versions of photoshop)..
I can get around this by using the new border command but when I paste my copied image it has a blurred border which I dont want.
Ive found the only way I can select a 'contracted' version of my document is to do it 'manually' with the rectangular selection tool and zooming into (pixel level) and making sure I select the pixels I want. This has turned a once 1 second job to a 30 second job.
Anything Im missing ??
Thanks. |
