StefanK Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 It is not possible to set up a menu for the mouse with the purpose of creating a layer from a mask? That would significantly improve the workflow. CTRL-J requires you to release the mouse each time. It's annoying. BTW. Does this function exist anywhere? I can not find anything.

StefanK Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Question to feathering: Thanks for the tip for the feathering. But that's not what I mean. The transparency function is missing in APhoto and does not work with asymmetrical shapes. And gaussian blur affects the entire object, but only the edge should be feathered over "x" pixel. It might be possible to create and refine a mask, but the result is not very nice because uneven stripes form And that too, I don't want to start a mouse click orgy for such a simple thing.

v_kyr Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Then try some of the FX effects (Umrandung, Schein nach aussen ... usw.) to get an similar/equal effect.

StefanK Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 No, no halo please. That is known. The edges of the object should be run out transparent, from the inside to the outside.

StefanK Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 So this function is not included. OK. 🤔 Quote bisher: Micrografx Picture Publisher 10, Photoshop 6, Affinity Photo 1, Affinity Photo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanK Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 The overall image sharpness should not be lost. That is the point. Quote bisher: Micrografx Picture Publisher 10, Photoshop 6, Affinity Photo 1, Affinity Photo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your initial sample posting (with the feather panel) I don't see much image sharpness at all, it's pretty much overall unsharp too there!

You could keep one hand on the mouse and use the other to hit the shortcut. You could also simply change the keyboard shortcut to something more convenient if this is a feature you use frequently: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
