Using PSCC(2014) and a Wacom tablet, when I use a layer mask to cut out an
area with the intent of allowing something else to show in the cut out area, I
can get nice, precise lines. However, I don't always want nice, precise edges.
For example, this image is of a model train layout. Using a layer mask, I'll remove
the wall at the top of the image and add a layer of one of my stock sky shots
behind the scene. Even though I work with highly magnified areas of the image,
and a soft brush, the edges of the pine trees will be too smooth and even.
Is there a technique that will result in an edge that is less sharp? Jagged, even,
since the edge of a tree is somewhat jagged.
I don't photograph model trains very often, but this is used as an example.
