CathyZarMI Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Could using a gradient on a layer mask introduce noise and therefore cause pixelated edges to your brush when cleaning up the edges of the mask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to your question is no. I have had problems with layer masks twice now. Once when I was preparing a photo book cover for print, and now when I was editing a Senior Session (See "Help!! I'm trying to clean up trying to clean up the edges of a mask on an image"). I used a gradient on the layer mask of the book cover and it introduced noise that looked terrible when I sharpened it for print. The second time I again used a gradient on a mask and when I tried to use a brush or stamp tool to clean up the edges, I couldn't get a clean edge.
