Masking with color range cuts out part of my design, how can I properly mask this? Still really struggling with this type of masking...
When masking my design, the mask is cutting off a good portion of the edge noise that I feel really make the design pop, I cant figure out how to fix this. Added more details below on how I created and masked the design for as much context as possible, and any help is really appreciated! This type of masking has really stumped for quite some time, so I'd love to know a good fix
Design Process: Created this design by using Gaussian Blur, Iris Blur and Ripple on my smart object logo set to dissolve blend mode, for adjustments dropped a Threshold on top, then Curves & Levels to finetuning, finally adding a desaturated paper texture overlay.
Masking Process: To try and mask the noisy dissolve effect, I exported a png to add in a second ps project, used curves adjustment to make a sharp contrast between black and white, used the eyedropper tool to select the color off the logo, then used Select Color Range; this selection is what I used for my mask.
