  Theres got to be a better way-feathering.

  This is how I am feathering the edges of an object.
  -cmnd click the thumbnail to selec
  -transform selection by 98%
  -set feather
  -inverse selection
  -edit/cut

  This seems like way to many steps just to add a feather. Is there a faster way?

  Ctrl Click on layer thumbnail to select
  Select >> Feather
  Layers palette, click on add a mask icon

  I am guessing that you are doing a transform of 98%, because your layer occupies to your entire canvas. Alternatively you can image >> canvas size >> add some more canvas even 1 pixel seems to work. Image quality degrades each time time you transform an image, and canvas size is faster (noticeable on high res images).
