10 pixels on a 4000px image is pretty small, on a 500px wide image, 10 pixels is pretty noticeable. When you’re on a decent resolution image, you’re less likely to notice it rounding because it has more pixel density to work with. GIMP and Photoshop both round off when you feather (it’s just a math issue). The most likely reason for your feathering issue is you’re trying to use it on lower res images than you have in the past. What happens now? Well, in the first place, when I have a Selection, and then I go Feather > Selection, the “marching ants” deform into a smoothed out version of the Selection:Īlso, forgot to add after looking for videos. Most importantly: I cannot achieve this incredibly important effect! (I can go over edges with a fuzzy eraser, but this is both too time-consuming and very imprecise.) See the results in the Luke Skywalker picture and the little headshot.īut now…things behave radically different for me in GIMP 2.8.
Then, you had a perfectly smooth, gradual transition between the foreground and the (now deleted) background. Again, this was just for me in my GIMP 2.6. It 100% retained its structure when the Feathering was applied. NOTE: The “marching ants” selection did not deform in any way at this stage. So, how were these smooth perimeters achieved for me in GIMP 2.6? I did this a billion times:Ģ) Feather the Selection the desired amount The effect was also applied to this photo, as I needed to cut out the background behind my head, but I did not want the area around my head to then look all jagged and fake:
The effect I’m describing was applied to the photo of Luke Skywalker, there. …However, it seems that it definitely seems as though this problem is unique to my own settings of GIMP 2.6, as everybody seems to insist that this given effect works identically for them in 2.8 as it did back in 2.6.īe that as it may, this situation is very important for me because I use it all the time…and now I cannot achieve the effect in my GIMP 2.8! So this is very bad for me. For my own personal usage of GIMP, I am having a major problem with 2.8.
