I've downloaded the 3.36 and boltbaits new plug-ins and am having the same problems with the harsh edges,having said that I'm still quite the half-tard with all this and i'm probably just using it incorrectly. If I have a photo where the sky is washed out and I want to add more contrast whats steps should I be using ? TIA
I've tried both feathering options.
Edit : O.k I gave it another try...
opened my file
made a duplcate background (renamed sky )
on the sky background I drew a circle with the lasso tool
effects-selection-feather selection set at 10
adjustments-levels slid the input slider up a little to darken sky,pressed o.k
ctrl D select
with the new background toggled on and original background toggled off, I can see the checkerboard area around the darkened sky.
when I toggle on the original background as well I see how it shows thru from underneath and is in fact not as harsh a division as 1st thought but is not really a seamless blend.
I'm not complaining, just trying to figure whether I am in fact using the plug-in properly?
