Gokhan Eser Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hello, I'm not very familiar with AFP. I want to ask you something. After selection with the "Selection Brush Tool", when I copy-paste, it has a soft edge. But this is not possible with the "Flood Selection Tool". How can I copy-paste a soft edge with the "Flood Selection Tool"? Note: I need to use the "Flood Selection Tool" for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If you activate ‘Antialias’ in the Context toolbar for the Flood Selection tool before making your selection dose that help you get your desired result?

Yes! That worked.. But I could have sworn I tried that and, it didn't work☹️ I think it was a problem with AFP. There could be a delay or an error. Thank you so much for helping🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't, It's a well established phenomenon that works Norf of Nottingham otherwise you need to set the feather before making the selection. It always hacked me off in Photoshop as I never developed a feel for how much feather to apply so I took to making a selection with feather zero press Q apply Gaussian blur to get some visual idea press Q walt.farrell 1 Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I clicked near the top of the big pineberry just above the name 'Emmbean', giving me the solid selection shown in the second image. 'Select > Feather...' with a suitable radius (which, of course, I didn't make a note of!) feathered that selection to yield what you see in the third image.

That may be the difference. I did not understand you were using the Select menu, vs changing the Feather setting in the Context Toolbar.
