Feathering edges


    The Feather command softens the edges of an object (or rasters) by fading them to transparent over the distance you specify.

    This command is only available as an effect (see Using effects.)

To make the edges of an object fade from opaque to transparent:

  1. Select the object with the edges you want to feather.
  2. Choose Effect > Stylize > Feather.
  3. Select Preview to display a preview of the results.
  4. For Feather Radius, enter the distance over which you want the change from opaque to transparent to occur.
