Imagine you have a border between a red and a blue area. The pixels on the border have mix of the red and the blue, depending on the subpixel are that would be of each color:
When you do the Color Erase with blue, the purple pixels become pure red, but semi transparent:
If you then paint over with green in Behind mode, the transparency in the semi transparent pixels red pixels is replaced by green,, so you red/blue pixels are replaced by red/green pixels where the green exactly replaces the blue: you get the smooth edge back, but between different colors.
This does not work. Everything I touch with color erase becomes some different color on top of a new background. In the case of your example above, the green-red mix would combine into a yellow frame that does not look normal next to the red.
Which is why I rescinded in my previous post and recommended to use a layer mask.
However, if you use AI-generated images:
- There are also AI-based tools to remove background
- Maybe the image can be generated on a transparent background directly by just asking a slightly different question?
