I have been adjusting several landscape images that have needed two separate adjustments for foreground and background (eg washed out skies and color correction to the remainder) but in doing so have often ended up with an artificial look along the boundaries of the regions. Adjusting feathering values does make a difference but does not eliminate the effect totally and I have at times resorted to adjusting the problem area pixel by pixel.

In its simplest form the problem can be seen by selecting a region of an image (eg the sky) and adjusting its output levels to zero. Next invert the selection and again adjust the output level to zero. The result is not a totally black image but a black background with a narrow line along the boundary of the two regions, probably in the color of the original image.

Can anyone suggest a solution to the above?

Thankyou
