6. Grow, Defringe, and Fill commands are available in Photoshop. Elaborate all three with appropriate example. Which command can be used to blend a selection and How? Ans.
Grow The Grow command selects more adjacent pixels. The Similar command selects more pixels throughout the photograph, not just adjacent ones. Go to Select > Grow, or Select > Similar.
Defringe This command is performed after you've made the selection, and placed it on a new layer. For example, let's say you selected a red apple from the top of a green picnic table. Some of the green pixels of the picnic table may be present at the edge of the selection. When you moved the apple to a blue bowl, this halo of green pixels are evident against the blue of the bowl. Use Defringe to change the color of the green pixels to red, the color of the selection, the apple. Go to Enhance > Adjust Color > Defringe Layer. Fill
A color of an image can be changed easily with the fill command.
open the Edit menu and choose the "Fill..." option. Within the Fill dialog is a drop down menu called "Contents". From that, choose Foreground Color, and click OK. Once your selection has been filled, repeat this step, but choose Background Color from the drop down menu instead.
