Feather edges

[Gallienus]

Hi

I'm also trying to create a feathered image in Corel PhotoPaint X5. I only need the feathering in one direction eg a rectangle with only the base feathered. I've tried to follow your instructions. However it appears that I need to create at leat 100 rectangles to achieve the feathering. If I use 10, the 1st being 90% transparent, the 2nd being 80% transparent & etc., then the whole thing has very discrete steps. It looks horrible.

Corel PP X5 will only feather ALL edges of an object which is no good. Maybe I can make the objects oversized and then trim off all but the lower edge?

I've found that I can feather a mask for 100 pixels MAX (why this limit) and then after I create the object I can superimpose it on a larger object and feather that for 300 pixels. Wonder why these limits as it makes the whole feathering task or fade out very laborious.
