Feathering Box

A “feathered” option exists and an anti-aliased checkbox. Feathering nicely blends the edges of
a selection with pixels of the background, which in turn softens the transition.

Anti-Alias Box

Anti-aliasing prevents your round selections from having rough, square-like edges. Think back

especially curves and circular edges.
