[Make select wand smooth?]

I ended up using Photoshop, as that has antialiasing. I still had to do a lot manually, but it worked like I wanted it to work. Hope that antialiasing would get added at some point.

There may be some misunderstanding here.

Can you explain or show us exactly which part of your image you want to keep and where you expect the edge to be smoothed please?

Are the images you have shown highly zoomed screenshots in which each block represents an individual pixel in the source image? If that is the case, you can't have 'partially deleted' pixels; i.e you can't have a smooth 45° line running through the pixels (if that's what you are trying to achieve). Pixels are non-divisible; they can have a colour and a degree of transparency and can be wholly selected (or not).

I am trying to do that. And it indeed is possible, as shown below (done with the Lasso selection tool). When deleting the selection, it works like I want it to work, where it makes pixels partially transparent. This for some reason does not work with the selection wand.

You're probably not using the plugins properly.

 

Let's say you have a line, (similar to the one above) like so:

 

I have zoomed in so you can see the individual pixels.

 

Without selecting anything (Ctrl+D) use the Effects > Object > Feather Object plugin:

 

 

This does not work either, as seen in the background here:

Even if I have the object selected and I use the Feather Object, it does not work.

Both of these suggestions still do not work sadly.

It did not work as I wanted it to. Even after using that tool, it still didn't smooth the make the pixels near the selection edge partially transparent.

Thank you, I will try it!

How do I make it, so that if I use the wand tool, it "part selects" edge pixels (like in the image attached)? I already set Selection Quality to "Smooth selection edges" but it still is exclusively pixelated (See second image attached). How do I make the selection smooth, so that when I press the Delete key, it isn't a binary "Delete" and "Don't delete", but rather a "Delete", "Delete partially", "Don't delete"?
