Changing the Feathering

select background with magic wand The feathering determines the sharpness of a selection's edges. A higher setting creates softer edges, and a lower setting creates sharper edges. If you increase the feathering, Paint Shop Pro will expand the selection's borders to include the area necessary to fade the selection's edges. 1. Make a selection with the magic wand. (I selected the bacground for the example)

feather 10 2. Select Selections/Modify?Feather on the Menu Bar.
3. Adjust the feather settings.

0= sharp edges
40= softest edges

4. Click ok

Some things you can do with it now that you've got it...

Try pasting your feathered selection into a new window.

Or for some fun, select Selections/Float on the menu bar and move your selection slightly to one side for a double image effect.
