Thanks for the reply. Yes there was considerable feathering. I figured it was something simple like that. So I guess there is no way to feather a selection and keep the square edges?
Well, the more feathering, the more rounded it will look - just the nature of the feathering.
Another way to do this - and to see if visually - is to set the feather amount to zero. Then make your selection with the rectangular marquee tool. Now, click on the Quick Mask button and you'll see the mask version of the selection. With the mask showing, go to Filters->Blur->Gaussian Blur and move the slider until you get the amount of feathering you want. (Make sure the Preview box is checked.) Then, click the selection button to get out of Quick Mask mode. The selection will probably be rounded at this point, but it actually looks like the QuickMask that you had.
Since the feathering softens everything, the corners won't be sharp by definition. But, you're making it sound as though the edges (not just the corners) are rounded - in which case you must have a huge feather amount. What is it that you're trying to do?
I was merely trying to create a rectangular selection without rounded corners for cropping purposes. I couldn't understand why once there were no corners and now there are.
I knew the answer would be something simple that I was over looking. It was indeed the feathering.
No deep underlying reason for the question. Just straight forward and thanks for advising me.
I have a real pet peave with using the lasso tools and after you make a great selection and delete you find that feather was set to 0, and if you undo and hit 0 for feather the current selection still has a 3px feather...grrr. Is there anyway to reset the feather to 0 without re-selecting???
When you make a selection, don't feather it. Save it as an alpha channel. From there you can dulicate the alpha channel, then run it through blur, blur more, or gaussian blur for a softer edge. Don't delete the original alpha channel in case you want to modify it further. The selection can be edited...
hi,
I have noticed when using the quick selection tool that the selection has about a 1-3 pixal feather around it edges, and it also noticiable when you do a mask. Sometimes that works to my advantage but other times I end up doing a little sharpening.
Forgive me if this is the wrong forum but it looked the closest. I'm using Photoshop 6. I have found how to get the feather facility and the need to put in the number of pixels you want to affected. Now do I use the lasso facility to surround the area that needs feathering or have I totally missed the...
Did a multi exposure fusion process but left with a problem.
The window frames are painted white. Because no light actually hit them in even the brightest exposures, they end of looking like they're painted gray. I've because of the way the frame areas intersect I'm trying trying to make...
