Modifying the Boundary — Border, Soft Edge,
Beveled Edge, and Crop
You can apply a border to the boundary between the foreground image and
background image, or mask unwanted parts of the image.
There are four effects for modifying the boundary, as follows. You can use
all four simultaneously.
Border: apply a border to the image boundary.
Soft edge: blur the image boundary.
Beveled edge: apply a bevel to the image boundary.
Crop: adjust the image boundary position, to eliminate unwanted parts.
(For picture-in-picture and other effects in which a reduced image is
used, reduce noise on the periphery of the image.)
Note
Depending on the effect pattern, you may not be able to apply the above
effects. For details, see the section “Effect Pattern Variant Forms and
Decorations” (page A-22).
