hi, im cutting parts of images (shoes) from the background and pasting them onto another background. when i do that i get a jagged edge on the pasted image. then i go in with the blur tool in photoshop and rub along the edges to blur them and make them non-jagged. i dont see any "blur edges" filter in my filters. i was wondering what is the bes way to blur the edges of a cut image? any help greatly appreciated. thank you. derek

I tend to use the eraser with a "Natural Brush" or "Dry Media Brush" selected and just "dab" the edges.

great thanks again chris. derek

Or, you can make your selection, then go to Selection, Modify, Feather, give it a few pixels, then copy the selection to the new location. It works about the same as the brush idea.

I would recommend feathering personally.

how about a feather? after you have selected the cropped image, press ctrl+alt+D simultaneously. Adjust the feather weight. I usually use 1.5 or 1.0 on the feather weight.

I also recomend feathering.
