Photoshop :: Feathering A Selection Outwards After Making A Selection
Dec 26, 2003If I have mad a selection with say an ellipse marque, of say 100px and now I want to fether that same selection outwards, ie to start the feather 10 px outward of the 100px selection so that the 100th px has a 100% transparency and the 110th px has a transparency of zero,thus making the new selection 110px, how could I go about doing it. With the current feathering of the selection, it feathers only in the marquee already selected, not outward, and you cannot place negative feathering px. I know that there is most likely some sort of a ration where you would expand the selection by a certain amount of px, and then apply a ratio of feathering to it to enalble it to feather outside of the 100px marquee.

Jan 27, 2008I've activated a feature without meaning to and don't know how to undo it. With the Rectangular Marquee Tool, the border shifts from a rectangle to a round-edged shape when I release the mouse after selecting an area. Then, when I cut that area, it lifts only a transparent portion of the selected area instead of the entire layer. How do I turn this off?
Also, I was once shown how to make use of the history brush to restore deleted / erased information along the edge of a shape that were overtaken by the magic wand. I've not been able to do that again on my own.
this is for Adobe PS 8.0.
Photoshop :: Does Feathering Start From Point Of Selection Outward To Designated Number Of Pixels
Jul 26, 2011When I use the feather function in Ps, does the feathering start from the point of my selection (marching ants) outward to the designated number of pixels, or from the marching ants inward, or half and half, or what?

Feb 27, 2007I am trying to vignette a posterised photo so that the edge of the pic gradually bleeds off into white. Ive made a new layer and used 100 pixel feathering. The only problem is that the feathered edge shows distinct banding lines particulasrly in smooth areas such as sky.
I considered trying gradient but as I see it , gradients cannot be applied to an oval vignette . I also tried applying gausian blur to the new layer (ie vinette) but that didnt help.
Photoshop :: Feathering
Dec 2, 2004Feather does just that. It expand and contracts the selection by the amount of pixels you indicate then applies a gradient to that area to create a soft edge (similar to glows).If you do not want this soft are, don't feather selections. Use Select > Modify > Expand or Select > Modify > Contract to keep a hard edge and alter the size of your selection.

Jul 30, 2008I've been using Photoshop for several years now and have never had this come up before.. I'm using Photoshop CS... and I used the Feather feature on my last project... closed Photoshop... then I opened Photoshop today and am trying to crop photos.. but the marquee still thinks i'm in Feather mode.. and wont' give me a sharp selection for cropping - it keeps reverting back to rounded corners (like with Feathering).. and won't crop properly... no matter how many times i select the rectangle/square marquee tool...it seems to think Feathering is still "turned on"... how do i get it to "turn off"?

May 14, 2006I have PS CS2. I tried to make a fireball I ran into a problem. I had to expand it by 5 pixels after selecting it (it was on its own layer). The selection box was the only thing affected by the transformation. I tried the other transformations and only free transform seems to do anything to it. Feather also does nothing to the selection and I have tried doing these steps on different images but I still get the same results . I know it must be a small setting somewhere or something I might have overlooked, I am even thinking of reinstalling

Oct 16, 2008feathering not being smooth. When applying a vignette to a portrait the feathered result looks more like a topographical map than nice smooth transitions. I have tried every possible combination in "Refine Edge", and this seems to have started the same time that Bridge started locking up on me. I have been seeing this on my finished portraits when they come back from the lab - so it isn't my display .
I am using PS CS3 on an XP lap top.
Photoshop :: When Does Feathering Take Place?
Apr 9, 20081. When does feathering take place? That is, when i make a NEW selection, there is already a number (from a previous feather on another image) in the Select-->Modify-->Feather command. Does it take effect on the new image when I click on OK in the Select-->Modify-->Feather command or as soon as I make the selection (without going to the modify command)?
2. Not only is there a feather number in the Select-->Modify-->Feather command, there is also another Feather number in the Select-->REFINE EDGE-->Feather command. How can there be two feather numbers at the same time? Which one takes precedence?
3. In some of the selection tools (eg. lasso tool), there is a Feather box in the options bar. That makes the 3rd place (option bar along with Modify and Refine Edge) where a feather number can be introduced. Which has precedence and when?
Photoshop :: Selections And Feathering
Jul 10, 2008I have Photoshop CS3 and am having trouble with selections.
Let's say I just created a new blank document at 1024x768 pixels. I create a new layer and make a new randomly sized selection with the Rectangular Marquee tool. I fill that selection with black and now have a simple black box on a simple white background.
I press Ctrl-T for the Transform tool and in the Width box on the toolbar I type 800px and press enter. Now I expect my black box to be 800px wide. But when I select it and click the Info tool I see that my box is in fact 799px wide. Sometimes I try to change it to 800px again and when I look at the info tool the box is now 801px! Why is this?
Second question.. when I fill a selection using alt-backspace I notice that the edges are feathered even though I have feathering set to 0. If I alt-backspace several more times I get a solid fill, but I'd like to only have to do it once. Where is this setting?

View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Feathering, Faded Edges...
Sep 30, 2006I want the edges of a picture to fade into the background. I know I can use the erase tool to obtain this effect. A friend of mine showed me a few years back a different and somewhat easier/quicker way. She showed me to use the rectangle/elliptical tool and select the area you want to show. Then select inverse. After that use the feather option to round the edges/amount of feathering. My question is what would be the next step? I know there is something else that needs to be done to actually fade the border, but I can't for the life of me remember.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Stretching Bitmaps All Of Sudden Feathering Parts?
Apr 23, 2012For many years, I've been able to stretch bitmaps with a simple, repeating style (eg. a single block of colour, some lines etc, nothing complex) whenever needed, with no problem. This I do by first selecting the part of the simple bitmap I wish to stretch with the marquee, then using scale (apple + t) to stretch it either horizontally and vertically. End result, the bitmap is extended, looks solid,sharp, all is good.
Lately, and consistently, i've discovered a fresh hell in that this no longer works. When I repeat the process above, all looks good, marquee, stretch... then the second I commit the transform, part of the bitmap beginning where I stretched from gains a feathered/opacity effect. For years, solid, now it's gaining a feathered section highlighting where I made the transform.
Something must have changed (it's not the version of PS) in my settings, which i've hit or shortcut-ed by accident.
The only way I can "fix" the process is by ensuring I only marquee the last 1 pixel strip (either horizontally or vertically) and stretching just that. This works fine, like it used to, but is time consuming and driving me insane. I cannot fathom why it's creating this weird feathered effect when I'm stretching a solid bitmap, when I know it didn't used to.
Paint.NET :: Way To Accomplish Feathering Operation
Jun 9, 2011I'm certain there is a way to accomplish a "feathering" operation in Paint.Net, I just cannot find it. I am looking for details on exactly how to remove rough edges from some photos that I have cut out. It may be called softening instead of feathering.

GIMP :: Layer Mask Feathering / Blending
Nov 6, 2012I have a picture of a black dog which I want to merge into a black background as seamlessly as possible. I created a layer mask and blacked out the photograph area behind the dog so that the black of the layer beneath shows through. What I want to do now is somehow feather the edge between the dog and the black background to melt the two together rather than having a sharp crisp edge. Can I somehow feather the edge of my layer mask to do this quickly and easily or do I have to do it manually using the smudge tool etc?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGIMP :: 1 Pixel Wide Line With Feathering
Jun 12, 2012I'm trying to create 1 pixel wide borders for some web buttons. I've tried to use the GIMP path tool to do this but I can't figure out how to get it looking right. See attached image.
1 - copied from a button I found on a web-page. This is what I want - single pixel horizontal and vertical lines with feathering on the curved bits.
2 - path that I used to generate the images on the right.
3 - 'Stroke Path' with 1px brush size & no antialiasing. Corners are not smooth.
4 - 'Stroke Path' with 1px brush size & anti-aliasing. Straight lines are too fuzzy as they are 2 pixel wide rather than 1.
Is there a way to do this with the path tool or any other way with the GIMP?
GIMP :: Correct Feathering By Subtracting White
Sep 7, 2012I have some round PNG icons where the pixels are either fully opaque or fully transparent. They look fine on a white background but are no use on a dark background.
E.g. see the orange icon attached. Ideally, the edge of the round icon would be semi-transparent orange so that it would merge nicely into either a light or dark background.
So, is there any tool in the GIMP that can correct the feathering? I.e. subtract the white from the pixels to leave a semi-transparent orange.
I.e. convert...
pure-white -> fully-transparent
light-orange -> semi-transparent fully saturated orange
fully saturated orange -> leave unchanged

View 10 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Feathering Layer Edge - Increasing Intensity Closer To Edge?
Mar 25, 2013I'm having trouble getting the edges of my eyes to look like they are part of the chair, which got me wondering. Is there a way to feather my edges with increased intensity closer to the edge? To be specific, I'd like to start the feather 100px inside the border with 60% opacity, all the way to the edge (border) with 0% opacity. I tried doing this manually a couple of ways and it just didn't look uniform.
I have also tried with the eyes seperated (without the middle area), but I still have the same issues.
Photoshop :: Why Vector Selection Tool (white Arrow) Change Layer Selection To Another
Sep 1, 2013I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?
Photoshop :: Selection / Patch - Select Blue With Quick Selection Tool?
Dec 10, 2012If you look closely in the attached picture, there is a spot of light blue on the player's helmet, that looks like a mistake (think it should look like the grass behind it)...though it actually may be part of his helmet.
Regardless, I'd like to take it out. My idea was to select the blue with the quick selection tool, then bring that selection out to the grass, select the grass with that size/shape of selection, copy/paste and then bring the grass selection into the blue part so it looks like grass in what was the blue part.
The problem is I don't seem to be able to move the selection without taking the blue with it (so it's not an empty selection and therefore can't select a piece of the grass.)
Photoshop :: Selection On Sliders And Curves Altered When Click Off Them After Initial Selection
Sep 13, 2012I have Photoshop CS5 on a Mac OS 10.7.4 My problem is that when I am using curves or a slider, my selection does not stay in the same place. For example, I chose the number 8 on a slider, after I release my selection it will either go one number after or before my selected number. I have had this problem since I got my computer, December 2011, but it has only recently started to frustrated me because of having to use Photoshop a little more than I usually do.

On a side note I have also tried taking the photo on blue, green, black and white backgrounds but due to the number of colours present in the products its just not working for me.
