Operation Manual

2 If necessary, select the brushed adjustment in the Adjustments inspector or the
Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD, then click the Brush button in the adjustment
controls.
Click the Brush button.
The Brush HUD for the adjustment appears.
3 In the Brush HUD, click the Feather button.
Click the Feather button.
4 Specify the diameter of the brush and its intensity using the Brush Size and Strength
sliders and value sliders.
5 Drag the brush over the edges of the previously applied brush strokes.
Tip: When feathering brush stokes, it’s a good idea to display the brush strokes as color
overlays to help identify the boundaries of each brush stroke. Then turn the color overlays
off at regular intervals and visually inspect the image to ensure that the brush strokes are
feathered appropriately. For more information about working with overlays, see Working
with Brushed Adjustment Overlays.
The adjustment’s brush strokes are feathered, blending them into the image.
Erasing Brush Strokes
You can erase the brush strokes for any brushed adjustment applied to an image using
the Eraser button in the Brush HUD. The eraser brush erases the brush strokes of the
selected brushed adjustment only. The eraser brush uses the same parameters as the
standard brush (Brush Size, Softness, and Strength).
Tip: You can quickly switch from the brush to the eraser by holding down the Option
key. Release the Option key to switch back to the brush.
