In this tutorial we will show you how to feather a photo in Paint Shop Pro.
First, open an existing photo

Now add a new raster layer: (Layers/New Raster Layer) and create a selection as shown below:


I set the Ellipse selection type and feather:50

After doing so, Invert the selection by pressing: Ctrl+Shift+I
Now, lets select the Floodfill tool and lets floodfill our current selection with a color of our choice.
I chose white since I want to blend it with my site's background color


This is the result:

As you can see I wanted to emphasize the mouth and neck of the singer, you can emphasize the part you like =)
Its easy!!
