Does anyone know why 250px is the maximum feathering size? When dealing with high-res images, 250px is often not high enough to get the desired effect. Is there any way to increase this? Or a technique to simulate higher values?
When you work with large images (lets say a1 size) you bring up the DPI to around 300+ (this can be found when you start a new document) that should sort out your problem :] if not let me know.
As EdenEvoX said, you need to change your resolution. 300 DPI is the most common resolution used for large and high resolution images. You can change your DPI on a pre-existing image by going to Image>Image Size, and changing the Resolution from 72 to 300. On a new document, there is an option for resolution on the new document window.
Change your resolution, and the feathering would show its works Really 250 PX is really Low For Bigger Images like A1 and so. It would be very hard feathering in the default resolution. Maybe NExt Version Of PS would solve this problem Thanks
I have a solution for you. Feathering is just a blurred mask automatically added to your layer. You can do it manually this way: - Draw a rectangular marquee around your image/layer that delimit the midpoint of the feather (more or less) - Make a mask out if it - the mask is automatically selected, so apply a gaussian blur to it. Not too much though. - that's it One crucial detail to look out for: - if you blur too much, the edge might come off a little hard. The idea is to blur the mask enough that the edges are 100% black; check with the eyedropper tool Hope that helps. PS: for this sake of this demonstration, I used a 72dpi image. The same applies to any size resolution. (continued...)
