Advice on blending out hard edges

[watter5]

 Hi all

Can anyone give me advice on the best way to blend the hard edge that I've got in this R-P shot I'm working on please? I'm trying to make the circle look less like it has the really hard line and contrast / colour change at the lower vertical part of the image.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

(Attached a jpeg version as the AP file is too big...)

 

Thanks

Hi watter5,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Here's how to attach file/images on the forum. New users have a few restrictions when attaching images/files in the beginning  to prevent spamming. Those limitations will be lifted after a couple posts. You will probably have to use a (Live) Blur filter and use its built-in mask to protect the areas you don't want affected.

Hi MEB

 

Thanks for the advice - I'll give that filter and mask a try when I'm back home tomorrow night.

 

Thanks
