White line around textures

[ebrich]

Have just read a way of ridding textures of the white line by Eric Tozer. So to Eric Tozer or anybody with more Pshop experience than me . I've been making my own winter trees and have ended up with the finer branches white. I went to layer matting to try and rid my trees of this great frost look but although it helped it was not enough. When separating tree from background I thought the thing to do initially was to have the greatest difference between the two. Can you give me some pointers for the masking with the same color.

Maybe this can be helpful a bit for you - I couldn't find my post about masking (trees and other things) on images, so use just the direct link:

Hi ebrich
I just use the eyedropper to select a colour in the image that I want to use for the background.
Then make a new layer & fill it with that colour & put it underneath my tree layer.
If you've still got some white coming through you may need to alter your mask until the white doesn't show.
Cheers

Many thanks both of you. Martinez that is not just 'helping a bit' that is the bees knees of tutorials. Is it copyrighted!!?? All that remains is to have the pleasure of going through it. Thanks.
