I hope you understood my title
I'm after a little advice on the best way to naturally soften edges on images when using masks and trying to isolate part of the image. I have an example here -
I took me quite a while before the edges didn't look so sharp and ended up using gaussian blur, in Paint Shop Pro. I'm still not too happy with it tho, the edges don't look natural enough for me.
Anyone offer some advice for the best way of doing this, doesnt need to be specific as most use photoshop i'm sure but an idea of the type of thing you do would be excellent.
Thanks again !
