You can feather a mask if you want non destructive

But that tool is too destructive. Can anyone recommend how to make softening the edge non-destructive?
Thanks

I’ll have to read the directions where you mention the placement of the pin and moving the 2nd pin because I missed something. I always learn so much from your videos

This way creates an image that blends the flower with the background as if the background was originally in the capture.

The photographer who photographed everything on the day used one of the top of the range Sony cameras, and every part of all of the photos were tack sharp. I wanted to blur the background on some of these but used all the wrong methods you showed here. Thank to you I now know a better way of doing it and can correct all of my work. Cheers and Happy Easter from the UK.
