In this tutorial we will be learning how to smoothen the edges of an object using Adobe® Photoshop. The following picture (for demo) contains scratches and rough edges around the circle. These jaggiest can be removed very easily in Photoshop. No basic knowledge is required for this tutorial.
The first step is to add a mask. First select the whole objects by pressing Ctrl+A. With the layer still active, add a mask. Click on the Add Layer Mask .Also notice that a new icon appears in front of the layer to show that the layer has been masked.
The next step is to blur the object. Go to Filter--> Blur --> Gaussian Blur and slightly blur our mask, just enough to see the jaggiest disappear in the blur.
The next step is to adjust the levels of the layer. Go to Image--> Adjust--> Levels and adjust the little sliders until the edge of the mask is sharp.
In most cases you move the black slider close to the middle, with the white slider on the other side and the gray slider in between.
That’s it. You can now see the image having smooth edges.
