    Heres a tut on defringing ur renders. This will help get rid of the white outlines that appear when u save ur render with a transparent bg!!

    NOTE: Thx to yusuf for information on how to defringe. I couldnt have made this tutorial without yusuf's info!! I already asked yusuf if i can use his info and have repped him.

    Ok so here what you do!!

    1.Open up your image and cut around it! I use the pen tool!
    2.Right click the cutout and click on make selection or somethin like that..
    3.Choose on of the lasso tools and right click the selection and choose select inverse.
    4.Now press delete. This should delete the bg!
    5.Now right click the selection and click select inverse again.
    6.Press ctrl-c to copy the selection.
    7.Now go to file>new and make the bg transparent!
    8.In the new canvas press ctrl-v to past the render.
    Now for the defringing!!
    9.Make a new layer and put that layer underneath the picture layer.
    10.Select the picture layer and go to Layer>Matting>Defringe.
    11.Use a setting of 1 pixel and you are done!
    12. Save the image as .png!

    You should have now successfully defringed ur image!

    defringing doesnt help all images, about 60-80% of my renders, but it still is definatly worth knowing

    im curious to know exactly what it does
