Suppose I have a selection that includes an entire image border (for example, suppose I select the top 20 percent of an image, i.e. 400 pixels of a 2000×2000 pixel image) in CS2. When I feather that selection with a wide radius, say 200 pixels, the pixels along the top of the image remain fully selected.
However, if I do the same in CS3, the feathering may cause pixels near the image border to be just partially selected. It seems to depend on how far off the edge of the image I drag the selection tool in making the original selection.
I can see how this might be useful in some circumstances. But in most cases, I’d rather have the CS2 approach.
Does anyone know how to get feathering to work as in CS2, so that (in the example I’ve described) the top edge of the selection would remain completely selected after feathering?
I’m using CS3 (v 10.) on a windows machine. I noticed this issue in the CS3 beta, too.
