Filter Details

Description

EDGE GENERATOR: Generates sharp or blurry edges and all different shapes & sizes. You can also add Drop Shadows and make transparent edges. It also comes with 5 different modes.

MODES:
1. Creates a White or Black Edge with Photo
showing.
2. Turns your Photo into an edge, leaving white in the
middle. Good for DTP or layouts.
3. Creates a White or Black Edge Mask that can be
used in other Masking or Paint programs.
4. Creates a transparent Edge so your Photo looks
like a cutout. This mode only works if your
background is transparent.
5. Adds a Drop Shadow to your Mask. Same rules
as Mode 4.

There is also a Vertical & Horizontal offset supplied in case you need to move your New Edge around the canvas to center your photo. Many presets supplied to get you started.

TIPS:
When using a Drop Shadow (Mode 5), Radius Blur should be set to zero for best results.

Special Thanks to:
Ken for his Edges code.
CF andM for his Making Shadows code.
