I have an action in Photoshop cs6 (win7/64) which does the following:


select color range, skin tones, fuzziness=56
refine edge, radius 42 pixels, smoothness=61, feather=0, shift edge-15, smart radius, decontaminate colors=67% and save to new layer
duplicate layer 3 time
merge down 3 times << to try to solidify the selection
save as png
close


It shows just the skin areas and some hair if blond, but the edges and parts of the inside are semi-transparent. I want either 100% opaque or 100% transparent and nothing in between. If I made 256 copies and merged them all, that would surely do it. With the 4 duplicates of the selected layer, turning them invisible one at a time, the transparency on the edges noticeably increases.

I turned feathering=0 and tried to move the edge inward 15 pixels.

I want the result to be as though I went in with the eraser tool and deleted every non-skin pixel with a razor edge.

And, the deleted areas can either be white or transparent (or black)?
