Get your favorite picture in soft light, get that feathery
effect...all with Photoshop's built-in features...Thanks Lisa!
Open
up any image.
Select the Paths Palette.
Select the pen tool from the tools
palette
Click on
the outline of the picture so that you get something like this
That
may take some practice!
From the paths palette, select MAKE SELECTION
Use a feather of about 4
pixels
Now from
the paths palette, select TURN OFF PATH
Copy the selected image by using
CTRL-C
You can
then paste it on a new blank image using CTRL-V
This will give you an effect like
what you see on top.
Did you get it right?
