No...I usually blur it quite a bit, depending on how much I want to feather things.
You can pretty much use filters on anything (except paths. of course). Quickmask is just a special sort of temporary channel. You can get some interesting effects with things like the pick filter, etc. You can also go into the channels dialog and duplicate the quickmask channel to save it for something else. Or just turn it back into a selection and then do Select>Save to channel and play with it that way. The whole channels thing is kinda handy, you can use it to build up complex selections by working on parts of it individually. --- DJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Elwin, > > EE> You could do this several ways.
