Have a photo of my dog. I want to leave an area(ellipsoid shaped) around her
nice and sharp, but kind of smoke/fade the edges progressively off to
nothing.
Can someone point me in the direction I need to go with this? (CS)
Thank You very much

First make a copy of your background layer (insurance purposes), press d
to set your default fore and background colours (make sure white is the
background) then working on the copy I would make an elliptical
selection around your dog, invert the selection and put a 15-20 pixel (
the amount is up to you, more=deeper blur) feathering onto it and then
fill the background with white by pressing Control and enter.

So did I when I first started asking for help with Photoshop and I never
seemed to get a reply from this group. Then I "twigged" and joined the
Adobe forum for photoshop (free) and the help came flooding in. Check
the majority of the contributors, they all belong to the Adobe forum.
It's not a "clique" sort of thing, this site is merely a mirror for the
forum and as such is rarely if ever seen by the vast majority of the
people who can help. I only use it as it quicker to call this NG up than
to login to the forum.
You were lucky this time ;-) as I knew how I would go about achieving
the effect you were looking for.
