Hi:

My first time in this forum…

I have to "blur" the edges of 180 JPEG image files… 180..! (I hope I am using the right term, blur: smooth the image towards the edge, so no straight edge is visible)

The only way I know how to do this with Adobe Photoshop (5.5) is by using the "eraser" tool, with the brush’s hardness at 0% and diameter large, and then drag the mouse over the edges several times until the blurring effect is obtained… repeat this process several times for each edge… and I have 180 images..!

All these images are square (in case this helps). I also have Adobe Illustrator (8.0) in case this program can do it better… did I mention I have 180 images..?!

Please, help..! Reply directly to my Email since I
don’t frequent this newsgroup…

I appreciate it; thanks again.

Hugo,

Create a new action that does a select all, then stroke the selection with a soft white brush of the desired size. Then use the batch command to change all the images, or create a droplet.

My approach would be oriented to apply a Greyscale Mask of my choice (or make a new one) to each image with an Action command.
I have found very useful the tips from this link:
