I have a small photo, similar to the image at the bottom; I want to insert it into another image...OK, I can do that... I want to feather the oval image that was inserted, to make it seamless with the larger [background] image.
I have attempted to do this in both Elements-9 & CS5... I cannot get the "feathering" option to work... I have tried every (IMO) possible combo of layering & masks... the feathering effect never happens..??... I found this link, which does a decent job of explaining the process; but it just doesn't work for me..!!
I'm not sure about this part... maybe this is where I'm screwing up..??
black out the background of our cropping layer... then making the selection active on a new layer. Invert the selection so you can (option-delete) fill the non-print areas with black.
from this link... he says "a simple" process"... OK... maybe after you've DONE it once..!!
----sorry, no link to the site; I can't post active links, yet-----
