I would suggest 1. ) Make a selection with the lasso tool. 2. ) Increase the selection by several pixels. 3.) Feather this selection by the same value. 4.) Darken the selection by using the Dodge/Burn Tool (SHIFT + D). HTH, Claus -- Home Page - http://home.arcor.de/ccyrny/ [in English] graf-o-matic 2.0 - http://grafomatic01.twoday.net/ [in German]
