View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two images/photos to which I applied a gradient feather effect. The documment printed fine, but when the PDF is viewed online in Fire Fox, the gradient feather no longer displays and only the sharp edges of the photo are visible. Is there a specific setting when saving to PDF that I need to select for best viewing online? I'm on a Mac CS 5.5.

That is, I make a selection, and when I color it in, there is still a bit of blur (about 5 to 10 pixels worth) between the colored region and the outside region. How do I ensure that feathering is disabled (or set to zero)?

In previous versions (CS2 and earlier), if you select a part of an image, including borders, and then apply the feather command, then the selection edges along the borders were not feathered but the selection edge inside the picture (and bordering another part of the picture) was feathered. (The selection may be a rectangle or an irregular shape. In either case it is just the selection edge that is INSIDE the image that is feathered, and the selection edges along the border of the image are not feathered.)
Result: you get a rectangular selection with one edge feathered. (Or with a slightly irregular shape if the selection border within the image is not a straight line.)
Very useful if e.g. if you want to darken the sky in a high contrast sunny-day image.
Now to the problem:
In CS3 feathering occurs on the entire selection, including those parts of the selection that are along the edges of the image.
Result: you get an oval shape selected where all edges are feathered. And you cannot use that to darken e.g. the sky.
I'm trying to get the feather on my selections to retract instead of expand. With any of the marquee tools, I can set the feather in the options bar at the top to n pixels and the selection area retracts by that amount. But if I use the magic wand tool or Select -> Color range... I don't have the feather option on the option bar, but I can go into Select -> Feather... and set it that way. Unfortunately, it seems the same value I enter in there has the opposite effect of the marquee tools' feather. That is, the feather EXPANDS by that amount. I can't enter a negative value since it doesn't allow values below 0.2.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have made a small 10x10 px. pic (lets say it's a diamond shape), and want to enlarge this to, say, 500x500 px. to get a sort of "digital" effect, where you can see the pixels clearly.
I use free transform to do this, and it looks fine until I press "enter" to confirm transformation.
Then the pic suddenly gets very blurry, like the "feather" effect.
So does anyone know if it's possible to enlarge pictures of this size, and keep the edges "un-feathered"? I've looked around, and can't seem to find a solution ("feather" and "anti-aliasing" is set to "0").
Alternative is if you know a way to make the same effect without having to enlarge the pic.
I made this picture in Photoshop CS2 using the select -> feather, option:
As you can see I feathered a few layers and put them together. I applied the mask layers. But now, when I want to save my picture as a png or jpg file, it saves my picture like:
So almost without the transparency. How do I make sure that the transparency is just as much as in the first picture ? I want it to be at least as like I see it in photoshop. I tried to let someone else save the picture, but it gave the same result. I further tried all sorts of settings when saving the file. But nothing helped until now. I also tried to merge the layers together, without any positive result for my problem though.
If I draw a closed path with pen tool that has sharp angles and then make a selection out of it I always end up with a feathered selection. How do I make the selection follow the path exactly?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using feather on image photo to create the all corner faded edges however after I upgraded to ver CS6, I encounter this problem when I applying the same method using feather (radius: 15-20) on the image photo and did an inverse, a warning message popped out
"Warning: no pixels are more than 50% selected the selection edges will not be visible". Hence, cannot apply any feather on the image, My image is a full solid color layer.
Seems impossible. Most common thing in After Effects. Why isn't this implemented in Photoshop, or am I blind?

Select -> Feather: that only makes feather value larger.
I have a picture which I have surrounded with a round mask and black towards the edges and I would like to feather the edges of the picture.

I'm using a Photoshop CS2.
When trying to run some actions, I get this error message in PS CS4:
The feather command is not available now."
WHy is it unavilable and how can I make it available?
I select an area with the rectangular marquee tool and then select "feather". When I click ok, the are to be feathered does not remain rectangular, but instead takes on a dome shape that varies depending on the size of the area I selected and the pixels to be feathered.
I have NO idea why this is happening, as I've used the feather tool before and it has just feathered in a square. I don't want it to feather all around, I just want it to feather left/right. Does this make sense?
I use the Marquis tool. Draw a circle. Right click and apply stroke.
But what if I want to apply a feather to the stroke?
I have an image, for example a car.
I want a white border (30 px) aroud it. So I select the space aroud it, then I inverse the selection so the car is selected.
Then I go select-modify-expand and give it a border of 30 px. The selection looks "squarisch", i mean not smooth, so i go to select-feather and give it a amount of 15. Now is the selection smooth, the way I want it.
But now the problem:
If i want to fill the selection with white, the color doesnt stay in the selection. there is some sort of gradient white outside the selection. That isn't what I want. Only the selection should be white, nothing outside it.
Is it possible to create a gradient similar to radial gradient, except that the shape is other than circular? This image would be the starting point, but I would like the white part fading to black to be another shape (say, a rectangle, a banana, etc.).

I save all gradients at:
C:UsersRHAppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6PresetsGradients
However it does (mostly) work when I import pre-made (from web) Gradients.
I don't know why this happens but it also did the same thing when I had CS5.5!
I am trying to find a vector shaped feather to use in photoshop CS5.
Where can i find it (is it a file with an CSH ending?)
Is a brush the same thing? is it also a vector?
How do you turn off the feather when painting a simple square or circular selection? Also, when I delete, it feathers as well... and I can't seem to findhow to adjust this!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an image which can be considered to be a donut on a transparent background. Using the pen tool, I drew a complete path around the donut, made it into a selection with feathered edges, and successfully copied the feathered donut to a new transparent background. The problem is that, while the outer edges of the donut are feathered and nice-looking, the inner edges of the donut hole are still unfeathered and sharp. recommend an easy way to feather the inside edges of this donut hole?
be aware that this "donut hole" is actually the inside of a dog's ear, so use of the elliptical marquee is not an option.
I have a ellipse I'm trying to fill with a solid color. The fill always "feathers" the edges. I don't want this. I want it to fill with the solid color only. How can I stop the "feather" on the edge?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI saw this cool shortcut for adjusting brush size and feather by holding control option and then dragging left right or up down to adjust the brush but in the video when he clicked and dragged to adjust the brush displayed red while being adjusted and I can't seem to get the red rubylith to display so I can't see the brush feathering when adjusted.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIve just spent 20 minutes polygonal lassoing round an image and after I'd closed the lasso shape I found I'd accidentally set feather on 34 rather than 1.
Is it possible to remove the feather option at this point, or better still change it to 1, or am I going to have to re-lasso it all again?
I've tried adjusting the feather number but that doesn't do anything.
I have a edu version of Adobe creative suite CS2. I tried to learn some text effects in online turtorial but I found that feather, modify, grow, similar, transform selection submenu are disabled in the select main menu. I would like to know why and how to make them enable.
