Fuzzy Selection Tool Options
Fuzzy Selection Settings
- Feather
The Feather slider sets the amount of feathering to create around the rendered selection area. Feathering softens the edge of the selection by the specified number of pixels. See also: Feather Selection.
- Antialiasing
The Antialiasing button toggles the rendering of aliased edges on the selection boundary. Aliasing produces smoother curves and angles and is recommended for most uses.
- Sample Merged
Sample merging takes the information needed for the operation from the sub-pixel layer of the image.
- Threshold
This slider changes the threshold of the selection area. A higher setting will cause more areas to selected. A lower one will decrease the final selection area. This setting can be adjusted dynamically by holding Button1 while making the selection. Moving the pointer up will dynamically decrease the Threshold slider and moving the pointer down will increase the Threshold slider.
