182 CHAPTER 5 SELECTION Most of the selection tools (such as Rectangle, Ellipse, and Lasso) offer feathering as a tool option. But Paths doesn t, so you ll have to feather the selection after the fact, using Select . Feather… from the image window. (Some people prefer feathering after selection anyway as it gives you more chance to increase or decrease the feathering as needed.) This brings up the Feather dialog (Figure 5-14), which lets you choose the amount of feathering, specified in pixels. Figure 5-14. Feathering a selection The amount of feathering you need depends on how large your selection is, how ragged it is, and where you re pasting it. You will probably have to experiment and try several different settings to find the perfect value, undoing each feather before trying something different. In this case, the default value of 10 pixels wasn t quite enough. A feathering of 15 pixels smoothed the selection enough for it to look okay when pasted (Figure 5-15). You can still see the problems around the edge of the leaf, but now they look more like shadows than image- editing artifacts.
