  • automatic feather when using elipse tool for mask?

    Posted by Matt Chapman on July 1, 2013 at 7:58 am

    I want to make a simple circle cutout of a solid layer.

    When I select the layer, and use the elipse tool, it automatically feathers the mask.

    The feather shows set to zero in the opacity.

    Que pasa?

    You are looking at the layer’s opacity; that’s not the same as a mask’s feathering.

    To access the feathering property directly, make sure your layer is selected and tap the F key. You can see all mask properties by tapping the M key twice.
