Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:10 pm

When it comes to digital image editing, one of the most common tasks is to smooth the edges of an image. Fortunately, this is a relatively simple process in Photoshop. Here’s a quick rundown of how to do it:

First, open the image you want to edit in Photoshop. Next, select the “Filter” menu and then choose “Blur.”

Now, select “Gaussian Blur. ”

In the dialog box that appears, you’ll need to enter a value for the amount of blur you want to apply. As a general rule of thumb, a value between 1 and 3 works well for most images. Once you’ve entered a value, click “OK” to apply the blur.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, this article may not be for you. The article covers how to smooth the edges of an image, but does not touch on how to actually use Photoshop.

Now that the image is blurred, it’s time to select the “Eraser” tool. With this tool selected, make sure that the “Hard Round” brush is chosen from the options at the top of the screen. Then, simply start erasing away the blur around the edges of the image.

As you erase, you’ll want to pay close attention to any areas where there are hard lines or corners. These areas will require a bit more work to get rid of the blur completely. Once you’re satisfied with how the edges look, save your image and you’re all done!

Conclusion:

So there you have it – a quick and easy guide to smoothing the edges of an image in Photoshop. With just a few simple steps, you can take an ordinary image and make it look stunning. So go ahead and give it a try!
