Hi All Just wanted to present a not-so-good result of Photoshop's equivalent (Select/Modify/Contract) of the Gimp's Selection/Shrink. Here is the scenarioa:
When I use the elliptical selection marquee in Gimp to draw a full circle, use blend tool to fill the circle with a black-to-white diagonally-drawn linear gradient, shrink the selection using Select/Shrink by some pixels (say 8 or 10), fill the circle with a white-to-black diagonally-drawn gradient (to create a psuedo-button like appearance), it comes out neat in Gimp. The same operation using Photoshop 7 and CS8 using Select/Modify/Contract and PS's elliptical selection tool does not yield the desired effect (that Gimp does perfectly well) and results in corners ( or pointed bumps - I'm not so good at English!) on the filled circular selection's circumference. Try it yourself and you'll see. I do not want to start a PS-VS-Gimp debate - just wanted to give you people a reference to let other people compare Gimp's strengths.
