Photoshop - Why feathering Is So Important
Brought To You By Layers Magazine & National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP)
Feathering affects the edge of your selection, and one of the main
reasons to use it is to smooth the transition between your selection and
the area surrounding it. Without the feathering there would be a harsh,
obvious edge where your selection ends and the background begins.
This is a very popular technique in photo retouching, where it's used to
smooth the transition in areas that have been copied and pasted to hide
defects or unwanted elements in the image.
