Photoshop alpha mask not great

Photoshop alpha mask not great

Scot,

Is Photoshop set to antialias your mask edges? If so you will probably
want to disable this. The other thing you can try is shrinking the
selection area by 1 pixel.

I generally work with Tiffs. (I am a Carrara 3 person now but I did a
lot of work with the alpha mask in 2 and it is quite reliable.

Let me know if I can be of any more specific help.

Yours,
David
