This tutorial is to help you learn how to give a photo a soft
edge. This technique is mainly used for collages, but it can
also be used for displays, reports, or just to make a picture more
pleasing to the eye. Once you have your photo open in
photoshop: 1.
Select either the Rectangular Marquee Tool or the Elliptical Marquee
Tool. For this example I used the Elliptical Marquee Tool.
2. Make a good sized selection
around what you want in the final product. Allow a little
extra room as well to create enough space for the soft edge so you
won't lose some of what you would like to keep.
3. Then choose
Feather under the Select Menu. (Select>Feather).
For this photo I entered 45 pixels, you may wish to choose a
different amount. 4.
Then Copy that selection (Edit>Copy) 5.
Make a new document (File>New) 6.
Paste the selection into the new document (Edit>Paste). |
