I think I get it now! Feathering is as you described; the feathering *guide* uses features from the image to change how feathering works, and I was mixing up both. Is that correct? J. Andrew Greig writes: > Hi David, > > Feathering is the tapering-off of an effect from the hard line to the

Hi David, Feathering is the tapering-off of an effect from the hard line to the dotted line. If you want to affect the power of the module then "opacity" is your friend. Cheers Andrew On 6/1/21 5:12 am, David Vincent-Jones wrote: So .. a question: does feathering become applied to both

Hello, There is "feathering", used in mask refinement, which adapts a mask's edge to edges detected in image. And recently, when updating the translation, I saw "feather size" referring to the radius of the outer circle (or ellipsis) when creating drawn masks. But those are not exactly the

Jeronimo In a mask, the feather is fall off, a weakening of the effect at the edges of the mask. It disguises the fact that a mask is in use. In the retouch module the feather does the same, sometimes I use a large feather, and sometimes not, it depends on what I am retouching, but the
