Dylan Grinder Ah brilliant - thank you Dylan!

Dylan Grinder Can you explain what you mean by set up the Blur tool settings and stroke the path? I'm trying to follow this tutorial and think your blurring tip will make it a lot easier! I'm pretty new to photoshop so trying to learn what I can.

yeoldgreat1 After you've followed the steps to outline the subject with a path, select the blur tool and set up the brush settings how you like (probably somewhat small with lowered hardness). Make a new layer, and make sure you have "sample all layers" checked (this setting should be right next to the blur tool's "strength" option). This will allow you to create the blurred pixels on a new layer without affecting subject layer itself. Then go to the paths panel (which you can find by going to window>path if you don't already have it open), right click the path and select "stroke path". Simply pick "blur" in the tool dropdown and voila! It should run the tool along the path. This technique is useful for softening the edges of things you already have a vector path for, like vector shapes or objects you've already outlined, and can be used for things like creating smooth curves (draw a curved path) and applying narrowing lines to them (set the "size jitter" control to "fade" in the shape dynamics section of the brush panel).

Dylan Grinder Dansky I have even faster method which creates same effect. After you make a clipping path and make the selection out of it I contract the selection by 1 or 2 pixels (depending on the pixel size of the image). After contracting I give feather of 1 or 2 pixels. As you know feather blurs the image and in this case it slightly blurs the edges of a product. Try it out. it works fine for me.

You're welcome, hopefully it was helpful 😋

+William Gunawan Aha yea it's funny. I'm definitely not a professional photographer by any means, but as I've worked professionally as a retoucher, if you can get the lighting half decent (as I think that's the hardest bit to cheat), the rest can largely be retouched in Photoshop :)

+Lisa Doherty Hey thanks very much Lisa :)

Yeah! Immediately subscribed. Btw how often do you put out new stuff?

Hey Lisa, new videos go up every week day. Sometimes things can be pretty hectic with work and stuff, but I always aim for 5 videos per week, even if they're a little late going up sometimes ;)

Great. Good to hear : )

You're welcome :)

Happy to help Joanna :D
