mckayandrew Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If I create a selection ( example the foreground of a landscape shot ) and I want to apply a curve adjustment to that selection is there a method if softening the edge of the selection line?If I pull a curve to boost the contrast there is a harsh cut off line line separating the selected area and the non selected area.It means I have to be perfect with my selection but I would prefer the adjustment to blend in or feather ( not sure of the right word ) either side of the selection line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cc4FuzzyHuggles Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Hi. You can try one of the Feather plugins, there are two object ones and a selection one, all three are downloaded from boltbait's plugin pack. If you want, you could also try the Alpha Blur plugin, or perhaps gradient blending is a technique that might help you (this tutorial is a little long, but you might learn a few things from it). Tip, make a new layer or duplicate your layer and apply the re-coloring on that layer. Erase/delete what you don't want and use edge-smoothing plugins or blending methods on the duplicated layer. Edited May 1, 2015 by BoltBait Fixed the url for the feather effect. 1 Quote *~ Cc4FuzzyHuggles Gallery ~* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
