I had lifted a subject from one background and place it on a new one, but I can't get the subject to blend into the new background. The edges around the person on the new background is not smooth or blended into the new background. How can I feather or blend the person into this new background.

Hi Gerald,

I'm sure I didn't welcome you to RetouchPRO, so consider it done. :) Check this (http://retouchpro.com/tutorials/?m=show&id=17) out to see if it helps.

Try selecting the pasted figure. Then select-modify and contract usually about 5 pixels. Then select-invert and apply a Gaussian blur to blur edges. Play with amount of contraction and also amount of Gausian blur to get your desired result. Hopes this helps.
