Halo around the finished picture

Alternatively, use a smaller brush.

It also helps if you move your brush from lighter side to the darker side but this is not always practical.

If halo still appears, you may have no choice but to use the cut back brush. I use this method all the time.

I just left a message in what appears to be an older thread on this subject. I'm a new user of PP 10 Studio and I'm seeing this same halo. I checked the hair and could see that there was a very faint selection extending into a separately lit white background and then even slightly further out there was an even fainter halo which I couldn't eliminate using the hair selection tool to reduce the size of the mask.

Obviously I'm not the only one with the problem so I'll just watch and see what the answer is. I'm removing the halo with a 5% magic wand selection, feathering and deleting. Not difficult, but an extra step that I don't need to do in an otherwise excellent result.

I'm also seeing a similar, very slight extension into the shirt collar what I have to go in and use the selection removal tool to eliminate.
