Applying Softness Using Pickers
Applying Softness Using a Uniform Gradient
Use the Softness fields to apply
a constant range of softness to the edge of the mask. The Alpha
and Offset fields define the fade-out of the softness gradient from
the edge of the mask.
Once gradient transparency and offset have been
determined, the degree of smoothness can be set using the Inner
Edge and Outer Edge fields. You can then use the Distance field
to determine the area where Inner Edge and Outer Edge settings have
an effect.
To
apply uniform softness:
- Access
the Garbage Mask menu.
- Select
a mask in the image window.
- If
necessary, toggle the Advanced Gradient button to Softness.
- Set
the border of the softness gradient using the Offset field. The gradient
will be affected by how far the softness border is offset from the edge
of the mask.
- Set
the transparency of the gradient using the Alpha field.
- Use
the Inner Edge field to smoothen the softness gradient towards the
inside.
- Use
the Outer Edge field to smoothen the softness gradient towards the
outside. Adjusting this value is especially noticeable if you are smoothening
a transition from a black inside edge to a white outside edge.
- Use
the Distance field to modify the area of which the Inner and Outer
Edge adjustments have an effect.
