Hahaha, that makes me feel better about my own lazy-for-correcting (though I have less excuses because I have considerably more improving room XD). It happens a lot that I select a character/background, either to move them, try a blending thing, or just put a texture in the background, and the selection is very slightly messy and I try my best to fix it and in the end I'm like "let's hope nobody notices that" XD I only just recently figured out you can add and suppress parts to a selection after it's done, and also save it in a channel when you have to switch to another selection, and then get back to it *FACEPALM FOR SLOWNESS* People say brushes help, too, but I'm not too good with brushes :/
Oh, while I've got you knowledgeable person—I sort of wondered if it's necessary to merge every layer before you save and post your icon? Like, does it look better, or do people just do it so it feels finished? Because until the icon is posted I'm liable to tweak it until the last minute, and even afterwards I like to think I could go back to improve and adapt it, so I hardly ever merge… but would that improve quality, or not at all?
