Aldo de Falco Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hello, I am trying to apply a filter selectively over an area of an image. I understand that this can be done by applying the filter over a selection, but this leaves an hard edge that does not work for what I’m trying to do. With live filters (such as Gaussian blur) I know I can use a gradient, however is there a way to do the same with filters that are exclusively distructive (such as the radial blur)? Alternatively, is there any way I can soften the edge of a selection? thank you Aldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 12, 2018 Staff Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi Aldo and Welcome to the Forums, I can't see a way to use a none live filter on a gradient. If someone else has a trick i'm sure they will post. As for softening the selection, you could try using the Refine Selection and adding a feather to the edge of the section. You could also, use the Blur tool round the edge to soften it once you've applied the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
