[ 99 ]As you paint, you’ll begin to see a nice border of grass
with a believable texture, as if you cut out that grass with
a very fine selection. The Jitter creates enough variance so
that it’s believable, with no distinguishing pattern that’s
obvious to the human eye. Here, I added a new layer
below my grass layer and filled it with a blue color just so
you can see the effect.
Keep painting until you fill in enough of the mask to
produce your grass-edging border. Then, add any other
elements needed for your design. Here, we just added
some text.There you have it! Faking a selection-masked edge of some-
thing without actually making a precise selection. And you
can use those textures to fake your way into some great-
looking edge selections. n
