My experience is that taping causes as many mess ups at it prevents. Only use where absolutely necessary, imo.
agreed! I've never mastered painting edges freehand (I think the pros call it cutting in or something like that), but I got one of those straight-edge thingies and it works well for me

Learn how to paint straight so you don't need tape
However, one other thing you can do with tape is wet it. Let the water soak in a bit, but cutting it and pulling sooner are the main methods.

And pull out & down
Good advice.

pull really slowly, and at the first sign of peeling, cut with a knife. You couldn't figure that out?

Everything everyone else has said is good advice. But the real secret is to not slather a bunch of paint on the tape in the first place. If you're painting 1/2 or 2/3rds of your tape, you're screwing up.

Caulk on painters tape is the only answer

Just paint everything the same color including the ceiling and floor.

The quality of the brush is definitely a factor in how straight you are able to paint.

I basically did this in a house I just built. All different shades of white.
