The Adobe Photoshop Refine Edges dialog is one of the best things to come along, and be improved, since the Quick Selection Tool. Refine Edges is powerful and useful, but the interface is, well, kind of challenging. It is definitely one of those features which needs explanation in the form of tutorials and videos.

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions, from students and other users of Photoshop, on how to use Refine Edges.

PhotographyUncapped has collected some of the 10 best Refine Edges videos, tutorials, tips, and how-to articles taken from ‘official’ Adobe sources, such as Adobe TV and Adobe Photoshop Support.
