Hi again,

On the subject of halos around selections:

They can be eliminated, or not show, if the selection is made over the color over which the final floating object will be placed.

In other words, if we make a selection on a white canvas, for instance, then float it over a black background, the feathered pixels around the edges will contrast against the black.. and look pretty bad.

However, if the selection is made on a black Canvas, for instance, then the object is floated over a black background, the feathered edge pixels won't show.

After all, feathering blends the objects color with the color from which the selection is made.
