: Halo around coloured glass bottle I have a product picture of a bottle which I need to cut out... I've created a clipping path and a mask to cut out but I have an awkward greyish halo that

@Alves566

Have your bottle without a background in 2 layers In the top layer cut the edges off by using a 10 pix contracted selection with 5 pix feather. It makes the edges gradually transparent.

The middle layer has the bottle as is, but with reduced opacity. Here the opacity is 33%, but try also smaller walues. A few % is enough to make the bottle solid.

At the bottom is the solid dark background.



This simulates the reflection of the current background. Another trick is to make the edges of the glass (=the shoulders and below) dark. It does not work with the metal on the neck and cap.

See an example. The middle layer is a black bottle, but its partially transparent to make the effect subtle. There's also a layer mask to keep the black out of the neck, cap and bottom edge.
