 |
|
ok really dumb question here!
I can't for the life of me figure out how to crop using a shape from a photo and then to soften the edges???
I know how to select and use invert to crop the outside of the sleected area but I don't want to use a square.
HELP!!! |

An easy way is to use the polygonal tool in short lenghts. Once you have gone al the way around making your selection go up to SELECT / feather and enter 0.3 (as good a starting point as any)
Or look up Quick mask ... on this forum or in PS help.
