You can create smoother transitions between selected objects and the background image by using the Feather or Feather Selection option. When a selection is feathered, FotoCanvas creates a transition zone between the body of a selection and its edge. The transition zone incorporates a portion of the area outside of the selection and gradually decreases the opacity until the selection fades at the edges.
To feather a selection using the Tool Options:
Select a part of the image using the Select, Lasso or Magic Wand selection tools.
In the Tool Option box, check the Feather Selection option.
Select a Feather Radius.
Do one of the following:
Click Selection | Floating.
Move the selection.
Note:
A selection can also be feathered by clicking Selection | Feather after floating the selection.
Feather Radius |
The radius is the number of pixels wide the transition area is between the edge of the original selection and the feathered selection. |
The resulting selection is changed, similar to the example following.
