How to get more Accurate Feathered Edges - Adap - 02-20-2022

I am trying to get my edges of my image to look smoother I'm using feathered edges by 2px and it looks like the the blue one. I want it to look more like the green image but feathering only doesn't seem to work. If I add more than 2px it just looks blurry and any less it barely even changes it. Any suggestions?

Probably a case of a little difference in selection I think (gimp = pixels). If you want just the same feathering as the green one then there is an easy solution, just make a layer copy from the green one and change the colour to blue.

If you want sharp and smooth edges use paths:

If you just want the same object in another color, either
  • Lock the layer alpha-channel and bucket-fill the layer (no selection necessary) with the new color.
  • Layer ➤ Transparency ➤ Alpha to selection, add a layer, and bucket fill the selection with the new color.
