When we cutout images specially with automatic selection tool in photoshop and apply contrasting background behind it, we often get unwanted fringing that’s comprised of stray pixels, and looks like a fuzzy halo around certain parts of the image. With the help of defringe option in photoshop, we can get rid of such fringes of the image. After opening image in photoshop, with selection of foreground layer click Layers > Matting> Defringe. Enter pixel value for defringing. Really easy way to remove it, isn’t it?

In many cases, we are required to save different layers as separate files at the end of image processing. Especially, when we are working with group product image, where each product in the image needs to be processed and saved as separate files. In such case, it might be good to save each layer as different files manually when you are working with few files. But just imagine if we are doing same thing for hundreds of group images at the same time. Even saving different layers as separate files can be time consuming task. We can do this process automatically through auto script available in Photoshop CS6. File > Script > Export layer to Files Here is an example

While using transform tool, you must have noticed that while transforming the image size – the quality of transformed image gets degraded. We can avoid this to certain extent and maintain the quality of the image using the smart object tool. If the same image is converted to smart object by clicking Image Layer – Right click and select convert to smart object, this converts the rasterized object to smart object and hence, when enlarged the quality of image doesn’t get degraded to certain extent. Here is an example to show you the difference: 1. Enlarged image using Transform tool  2. Enlarged image using Transform tool after converting it to smart object
