If I make a section with the marquee tool, and then Select > feather 100 px, I get a smooth rectangular gradient.If I use the same Marquee selection, preceded by feathering in the Options Bar, I get an oval selection reflecting the feathering.I observe the feathering by creating a layer mask, or by dragging the selected Layer into another document.

Where can I find feather option and smooth/refine edges option in Adobe Element 7.
View 1 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 reset the feather to 0 but it still seems to be there. 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)?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have just upgraded to Photoshop CS3 from (CS2)
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'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.
As you might see in layer panel. there is a blending option applying on text. and when i try to applying new blending option i-e drop shadow or inner shadow to layer shape 5. it will mess with also to text layer.

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'm trying to create a selection out of the square marquee tool with rounded corners. The only way I know how to do this is to set the feather to 5px or 10px or whatever. But when I try to fill this selection with a certain color (with the paint or pencil tool) I get a gradient. That is, instead of a uniform color all throughout the selection, it's almost clear near the edges and slowly becomes opaque as you move closer to the center of the selection. I do I create a square selection with rounded edges so that filling it creates an evenly opaque color?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was using this nice tool for the forth time or so and I accidentally put the radius to 10, and suddenly these horrid jagged edges on model shirts disappeard.
The feather was at 2, and smoothness at 12. (in refine edges)
So should I now think of the radius and the the best method for edges rather than feather.
how the smooth mixes into this.
