Soft Edges
This parameter allows you to create soft edges for images selected with
the APPLY TO options. Choose the soft edge type. Each type defines a
different transitions from opaque to transparent within the soft edge:
SOFT VERY SOFT HARD VERY HARD
The setting FRAME does not create any soft edges, but adds or removes
pixels at the edges without changing the object’s outline (if possible). Select
NONE (SHARP) to leave edges unchanged.
In most cases VERY SOFT provides the best results. The setting SOFT creates
an entirely linear transition between opaque and transparent. With
VERY SOFT, by contrast, transitions are smoother at the beginning and
end of the soft edge and almost linear in the center. However, the soft
edges must be made larger compared to the setting SOFT.
Soft edges can also be created individually for selected layers of any
type (see page 17-9).
Area inside/outside
Use these parameters to define the size of the soft edges and whether
to create them INSIDE the original edge of the page element, OUTSIDE the
edge, or both INSIDE and OUTSIDE (see figure).
