Output inspection: Avoiding Halos Around a Subject
A bright or dark fringe usually means the subject mask needs closer edge inspection. Review the result at its intended size and inspect details that previews can hide.
Practical review sequence
- Preserve the original input and note its important limitations.
- Apply the smallest change that addresses the current task.
- Compare the result with the source at the intended display size.
- Record settings and uncertainty before the result is reused.
This public workflow document covers one bounded quality-control task. It is intended as a repeatable reference rather than a substitute for checking the source material and the final output directly.
