    Problem doing a selective gaussian blur in CS6

    Think I'm getting there at last! I've discovered if I use a small percentage in the feather box, ie: 5%, it allows me to make a smaller selection. Then I can go into Select/Modify/Feather and that seems to work. Need to play around with this new-to-me method to get a good result but at least...

    Problem doing a selective gaussian blur in CS6

    Okay, I'm lost here with your explanations. I see you're talking about the feather box being set to 0%. So I upped it to 150%. Depending on how much I include in the selection area, I can still get the pixel message come up. Other times the marching ants remain but change size/shape and it...

    Problem doing a selective gaussian blur in CS6

    By the way, changing preferences was mentioned. I've looked in preferences and there is nothing obvious relating to what I want to do. Can you suggest what preferences I need to set. Thanks.

    Problem doing a selective gaussian blur in CS6

    Hi, thanks for the replies. I'm embarrased to say that I don't know how to post screeenshots! To break it down, here's what happens at the moment. I draw a selection with the mouse and when I let go the size/shape of the marching ants selection changes to a smaller selection which is...

    Problem doing a selective gaussian blur in CS6

    My Photoshop knowlege is limited and I only need to use it for a few things. In CS4 I was able to select a small area of an image with the selection tool. I would then go into 'Refine Edge' and feather the selection. Then I would go into filters and apply a gaussian blur to the selection...
