In a mask, the feather is fall off, a weakening of the effect at the
edges of the mask. It disguises the fact that a mask is in use. In the
retouch module the feather does the same, sometimes I use a large
feather, and sometimes not, it depends on what I am retouching, but the
effect is the same. Panel beaters and plasterers also refer to tapering
the edge of their filling material as "feathering off" making it
invisisble to the eye but in their case, also to the touch.

Hello,
There is "feathering", used in mask refinement, which adapts
a mask's edge to edges detected in image.
And recently, when updating the translation, I saw "feather size"
referring to the radius of the outer circle (or ellipsis) when
creating drawn masks.
But those are not exactly the same... The latter seems more
like a smoothing/gradient area around the mask, not depending on
image features, while the former changes the effect of a mask in
a non-uniform way using image features (whatershed detection, or
something else? -- I'm not an expert in image processing).
So -- is this intentional, and the same name was menat to be used
in both cases? If so, then I probably misunderstood something
(could someone help me understand why?)
I ask in order to decide if I translate them to the same words
or not.
Thanks!
