Selecting
To define a feathered edge for a selection tool:
1 Double-click the marquee, lasso, polygon lasso,
or magnetic lasso tool to display its Options
palette.
2 Enter a Feather value in the Options palette.
This value defines the width of the feathered edge
and can range from 1 to 250 pixels.
To define a feathered edge for an existing selection:
1 Choose Select > Feather.
2 Enter a value for the Feather Radius, and
click OK.
Note: A small selection made with a large feather
radius may be so faint its edges are invisible and thus
not selectable. If a message appears stating “No pixels
are more than 50% selected,” either decrease the
feather radius or increase the selection’s size.
A. Original selection B. Feather: 0 C. Feather: 10
