I am working with a rectangular photo image and want to fade all edges. I have tried the Vignette tool in CorelDraw X4 and the Feather tool in PhotoPaint. The image overlays another graphic (not a solid color) and I want it to cleanly fade over this layer. The end result of both attempts appears to be beveled or contoured instead of flat.
How do I correct this undesired result?
Thank you.
Select image.
Edit in PhotoPaint
Open Object Docker. If object read Background, convert it to an object/layer. There is a button to convert.
Right click object ion in Object Docker and create a Clip Mask that will show all.
Apply Gaussian Blur to taste.
Combine ClipMask by right clicking the ClipMask icon in the Object Docker.
Save.
