Question on creation of alphas

[Daveyboy]

Hi gents a quick question on alphas.
How do you create alphas with soft edges so that they blend in together. I know you can use the MRGZGRrabber tool to create an alpha from the canvas, but the resulting alpha edges are too defined.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. :)

Hey DaveyBoy , I'm not sure what you're after but I think it's Radial Fading.
Fo to the alpha palette , enable the extra options and there should be rf 0
Which determines how much around the edges of the alpha is faded. try a setting of 10-15 and try it out with the simple brush on your canvas , the edges will be softened...
