I want to fill a square selection that has been feathered, but when I fill/paintbucket the selection the fill is not solid and spills outside of the selection. I know it is doing this because the selection is feather, but is there anyway I can just get a solid fill?
View 3 RepliesWhen I use the square selection tool, the selection edges are rounded rather than square. I can't remember how to rset this.
How do you make the edges square by default?
I am trying to move a feathered photo (using cookie cutter) from the Elements screen to a colored page word document. I can move it OK. It is feathered. But it still has a square white background surrounding the feather. When I look at the Layer panel , the transparent added layer is showing nothing. The selection did not appear on the layer. But the background is feathered.

View 14 Replies View RelatedThis question is more theoretical, as I have found a work around. On a layer, I have a gray color, which I sample, and it becomes the desired Foreground color.
I would like to Fill a Selection in an Alpha Channel with this gray color.
However, when I view the Alpha channel, my forground color is lost to black/white, which I understand, as the Alpha channel is a gray scale image.
But, I am able to sample a gray Swatch to make a Foreground color, but how can I preserve my chosen Foreground gray selected from a Layer? The only way that I know would be to make a new Swatch, and then use that when I am in Channels.
I was just starting to experiment with the gradient tool last week. I could have a circle as the selection, use the gradient, and then it would make the gradient within my circle all nice.But now whenever I try to use the tool, it fills my entire layer with the gradient instead.I know I still have the circle selected.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe problem I'm having is when I use either the square selection tool or when I Control+Click on a layer and expand the selection (square or rectangle) the corners get cut at a 45 degree. I'm using PS7 and it is also doing it on CS2 also. A Graphic Artist friend of mine tried it on his computer (CS2) and it does the same thing. I thought for sure I've done this before without the cut corners.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using CS3. when I am in a document (new or opened) I will make a selection and fill it. Even though I have 0 px for the Selection tool and 0.2 under Select/Modify/Feather, when I fill it it is feathered, quite a bit I might add. However, if I select the brush tool, make a few strokes with a hard brush somewhere, then make another selection and fill it, it's no longer feathered.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a montage of small images with some text at the top. Say four 'oval' images and one line of 'arc-ed' text at the top. I intend to insert this finished monatge into a forum which has a plain coloured background. I wish my montage background to be transparent so that the natural colour of the forum background shows through (this could change out of my control).
The four oval images I want to be 'feathered' so that they gradually fade into the Forum background. I hope this is clear so far! Anyway I seem to manage this in Photoshop and can see the feather and the transparent background OK. Then I merge all layers and then save it as a GIF file. It still looks OK.
I am using CS4. I would like to make a 2-layered file, where the bottom layer is blank and the top layer is white and has an opening (say, heart-shaped) with feathered edges. I have tried so many ways, and can't make this happen.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a way to create a rectangle layer with rounded corners. Now, I know that's easy to do, right? Just take the Rectangular Marquee tool and put a feather on it, then do a fill with the paintbucket. Wrong! The feather somehow retardedly doesn't allow the "PAINT" to stay inside the selected area, and fills a slight gradient outside the selection, like so:
The quickest way I know how to do it is....well, really NOT that quick. Here's my steps:
1) Make a circle with the Elliptical Marquee tool and save the selection.
2) Add 4 of these to a selection, making sure they're lined up properly.
3) Now fill in the inside with the Rectangular Marquee tool.
4) NOW PAINT!
I have just completed a webpage in PS and want to slice it but I am not sure about how to slice my images that are feathered. Normally I would just create a slice around the borders of the image and then remove this slice in DW and insert the original Jpeg resized to suit. However the images in this page are a feathered.
I was thinking of perhaps slicing around the image leaving small border of say 5mm and save this as a jpeg. However howq would this match against the gif slices next to this. My background is an image so I am unable to just use a background colour option in DW.
how to do this, but ive hit some kind of digital design "block" i guess, and i cant think how to even draw right now, but yesterday i put a border using feather and then something else...and it made a nice curved edged faded white border around my pic, now i cant remember the stupid thing that i did after the 5px feather...
View 2 Replies View RelatedGray / black halo around feathered transparency objects. The halo occurs where the solid area of pic feathers to the transparent.
NOTE: Image looks fine in Photoshop(CS6) but when placed in Indesign (CS5) a black halo appears on page
This only happens when image is an RGB Tiff and layer mask is used to create transparency. If image is saved as .psd then it is fine. Also when RGB tiff is converted to CMYK then this is also ok.
Ideally I could just start using psd format, but I have to handle a lot of images that are already in RGB tiff and it is time consuming to have to open and re-save all of these.
Photoshop CS5 RGB tiffs are still working fine.

i have just downloaded a trial version of Paint Shop Pro X6 because I'm looking for a program that will go a good job on oval vignettes with soft (feathered) edges.
I can open the program and select a picture from my files. Through the videos I learned how to identify some of the PSP X6 tools. I click on the Ellipse tool on the lower left in the tool bar. Then it gets weird. Sometimes I'll make an ellipse on the photo and the ellipse outline stays there. Sometimes when I do this an oval is created. Every time an oval is created my picture is the background, and the part of the picture I want is white. It's like it's doing it backwards. I've seen the tutorials about selecting INVERT, but I've had no luck whatsoever with that.
This should be a very simple process, but I'm totally mystified how it works. I used to run a very simple program years ago that Microsoft put out called PictureIt. I really liked that program but it's outdated now and it won't work on the Windows 7 64 bit I'm using. I have tried several programs and Paint Shop Pro X6 seems to be the closest to Pictureit that I can find, but I'm expecting PSP X6 to be more advanced, precise, and better overall. In PictureIt I'd do the exact steps I just mentioned and the area I selected would be the oval picture, the rest was white, and then I feathered the edges. In PSP X6 it's mostly like that, but it's reversed. The picture I want is the background.
Any way to produce a feathered edge to a movie clip? Similar to what people often do with photographs where the outer say 30pixels fade to transparent. Can't find any way to do it in VS X2 or in virtualdub.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI can crop and feather a selection of an image, but what i wanted to do was apply a feathered edge to an entire image so that i could drop it into a word doc and it would look a bit smarter.
I've been trying to do it by -
'Select > All ' then ' Select > feather ' applying the amount of feather (i did an inch just to make sure).
But it made no difference - i tried exporting this as a JPEG to see if it came up then but it still didn't make a difference...

Attached is a free macro which allows the user to draw a vector shape and give it a feathered edge. The macro allows the user to adjust feathering and opacity and it came about as a result of the discussion in this thread:
A Suggestion for a "WOW" effect for the New Corel Draw X7
click on the small grey button at the right of the macro. how to use the macro. The macro currently only works on shapes with Uniform CMYK fills. I intend to bring out a revised version of the macro which can handle various fill types/colour models if I can pull it off.
I'm using CS3 with a new computer and a 17in crt monitor. I set the monitor resolution via windows to 1280x1024. Made a 4 in square in Photoshop. It's square. When I change the resolution to anything less than 1280x1024 the square is taller than wide. It still shows 4x4 inches with the rulers.

This is a basic question as I am a novice with both Illustrator and Photoshop. I have a vector shape of an apple in Illustrator. It is 2 piece- the body and the stem. I would like to fill this shape with a part of a photograph.
I'm wondering if I should do this in Illustrator or should move it over to Photoshop as a selection and then do it there? I'm also going to bevel the edges of the shape.
The next question is how to do it, which tool should I be using in either program? Is this considered a "fill" operation or am I cutting this shape out of the photo?
I'd like to select a section of an image and then fill it with a texture from another image. For instance, I could add bark texture from a tree to a section of a face. I'm not sure how to select a texture from one image and apply it to another.
