I use feather to avoid cutting too deep but that's just me though. Oh and I forgot to say that I only apply feather when cutting big spaces and stuff. no feather for tiny details. Like this for example :3 I also use the PT c:
=O haven't tried a bright green bg. I always work with Gray. I also cut from inside the lines but with 0.1 feather XD (wait, did i explain that right? XD)
Ikr. It's just... painful. And then when you work so hard on a render. then you slap it onto a black bg to see the dreaded white halo? aughhh.
I'm better at avoiding the halo now though, lol.

xD Yes you did.IMO you shouldn't use feather lol. feather blurs the edges right? And what one wants from extractions are sharp clean edges. *uses PT*

No probs! I used to use renders a lot, so I can kinda get where you're going. xD It's really hard to extract an image sometimes isn't it?
