Question

smoothing a rectangular selection results in aliased (jagged) edges

Using the rectangular selection tool, select an area. Then use the Select/Modify/Smooth operation on it for something like 10 pixels. Now fill the selection with a color and see that the smoothed edges are actually aliased and jagged.

 

To contrast, if you use another selection tool such as lasso and create straight lines by holding down Alt/Option, and create a polygon selection, then use the smooth operation on it and fill the shape, you see that the smoothing is actually antialiased as expected.

I'm guessing this has to do with the fact that the "Anti-alias" checkbox is grayed out and unchecked when using the rectangular selection tool, so it's treating it as aliased edges even during the smoothing operation.

 

Finally, why is it so impossible to properly report bugs for Photoshop?

Untested:

 

  1. Rectangular selection
  2. Enter QuickMask mode
  3. Median filter to round
  4. Exit QuickMask mode

Creating a new topic with the "bug" label is the correct way to report an issue. So hardly impossible.

Ok, great. I should have said "difficult". Have you actually tried reporting a bug from Photoshop lately, and been able to do it without asking google how to do it? There should be a simple "report a bug" option in the help menu, period. It should take the user wherever they need to go for reporting a bug.

Use Case: Any situation where you want to round off the corners of a selection.

Finally, why is it so impossible to properly report bugs for Photoshop?


By @tgillissie


Creating a new topic with the "bug" label is the correct way to report an issue. So hardly impossible.

Hi @tgillissie, thanks for reaching out! I see what you mean about the aliasing on selections, however, we would like a few more details. Can you send your system info and a screen recording of your issue? You can find your system info by going to Help > System Info, copying and pasting it into a text file, and attaching it here. Also, can you explain the use case on what you are trying to do. Thanks! ^CH
