FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between Soft Edges and Crop?

  • Solution: Cropping directly hides part of the image area, while Soft Edges makes the edges gradually transparent, achieving a more natural transition effect.

Q2: How to make two images blend naturally?

  • Solution: Apply the Soft Edges effect to both images, then adjust their positions so that the softened edges overlap to achieve a natural blend.

Q3: How to remove the Soft Edges effect?

  • Solution: Select No Soft Edges in the Soft Edges options, or click Reset Style to clear all effects.

Notes

  • Soft Edges will occupy the outer space of the image, so ensure there is enough room.
