i know that you select the stuff you want feathered, right click and go to feather, but i've never really seen any effect. maybe i'm missing a step somewhere but i just dont really get what feathering does
View 4 Repliesim trying to make some text appear over a texture, and as I've been using programs such as GIMP and Paint.net before I know from them that you can have layers do this. Layers have depth settings, so layer 1 will be the lowest and so on. But it don't find these settings in autocad.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Feather 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'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"?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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
View 7 Replies View Relatedfeathering 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.
every time i use the selections tool in Photoshop it keeps feathering edges - the edges are slightly faded and not crisp.
View 1 Replies View Related1. 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?
I 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?
I 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.

I have tried a couple of methods of selection and then layer by cut command.
I have tried with feathering and without but i get a line around what i have cut out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.
For 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.
I just upgraded from photoshop cs4 to cs6 and all my "stuff" did not transfer over. By "stuff" I mean my actions, my Imagenomic noiseware and protraiture plugins, and various things I'm sure I'm not even aware of yet...
Â
I've been working with and adding things to my cs4 for so long I couldn't even list them all... I just know I'm going to be missing things. How to properly transfer over all my cs4 files to my new cs6 copy? Is there a link or a blog that tells you how to do this most efficiently? I thought cs6 would overwrite cs4 and transfer everything for me but now understand that is not the case.
Â
(I think I have imagenomic portraiture and noiseware figured out- downloaded new copies of the software). Can I just drag any items from the cs4 files in applications (on a mac) to my new cs6 files?
Everytime I add a shape or text the effects used last appear on my new stuff without my wanting it there. I have cleared my workspace and even when I begin a new project it still happens.

I have recently started using CS2. I am noticing a weird problem when I move stuff around. It is almost acting like its "Snapping". In other words, if I try to move an object, text, selection area or whatever, its jumping about 2-3 pixels in the direction I move it instead of moving smoothly. Its kind of like macromedia flash snap to grid action. I looked all around to try and find settings for the pointer but no luck.

I'm used to photoshop on a PC, and on them ( at least the versions older than CS3 ) if you want to make a selection of something on a layer you just go cntrl click.
But on a mac I'm told you need to select that layer then go select all then use the magic wand tool, which probably won't be 100% accurate.
when i change the blending modes, to not store in history, because i find it useless and it takes a lot of history states untill i dont have mutch undos to go further back.
