Johan Crous Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I am not shure if I am using the correct terminology. I want to make a ellipse selection of a person's face and paste it as a new layer over another background. I want the elipse sellection's edge to fade to nothing on the edges, as wide as a pencil (1/4 inch). Almost like a vignette, but it fades to transparent nothing.

Staff Gabe Posted June 21, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi @Johan Crous , You can easily do this by setting the "feather" before you make your selection. Start with a low value ( 10px for example)and make your selection ( you will not see any difference until you paste it. Thanks, Gabe.

Johan Crous Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 It did not work as I wanted. I then tried duplicating a layer and applied a mask to it. I inverted it and draw what i needed wit a very large blush widt and a 1% hardness. It worked as I needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Crous Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 GabrielM, it is working. In the iPad version I made the sellection and nothing happened apart from the sellection ellips appearing. So I canged back to ordinary persona, select Paste boards, copy, and new pixel layer, sellect the layer, back to Paste boards and paste. Then it is there. I need the edge to be about five times wider, the section where the sellection fades to transparent. The biggest edge effect is with feathering at 7.5, but I guess the image pixel size is the determining factor. Gabe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
