How Do I Smooth Rough Edges in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:45 pm

If you have ever used Photoshop, you know that one of the most important things you can do is to make sure your images are as high-quality as possible. This means having smooth, clean edges on your photos and graphics.

While it is possible to achieve this manually, it can be quite time-consuming and is often not worth the effort. Luckily, there are a few different methods you can use to automatically smooth out rough edges in Photoshop.

One method is to use the “Smart Sharpen” filter. This filter can be found under the “Filter” menu, and then “Sharpen”. Once you have applied the filter, you can use the “Fade Smart Sharpen” option to help blend the sharpened edges into the rest of the image.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, this tutorial may not be for you. It is important to have a basic understanding of the software before attempting to use it to edit photos. Otherwise, you may end up with poor results.

Another method you can try is to use the “Unsharp Mask” filter. This filter is similar to the “Smart Sharpen” filter, but it gives you more control over how much the edges are sharpened. You can find this filter under the “Filter” menu, and then “Sharpen”.

If you are still having trouble getting rid of rough edges, you can try using the “Liquify” tool. This tool can be found under the “Edit” menu, and then “Transform”. The “Liquify” tool allows you to push and pull on parts of the image to smooth out any rough edges.

Finally, if all else fails, you can always try selecting the area around the edge with the “Polygonal Lasso Tool” and then using the “Feather” option to blur the edge. This will give you a soft, feathered edge that should blend in nicely with the rest of your image.

By following these steps, you should be able to quickly and easily smooth out any rough edges in your images using Photoshop.
