Let me restate what I am trying to do. Suppose I come up with the design on the left. The jagged edge is unattractive. So, I want to smooth it through anti-aliasing. I use the free-select tool to outline my design as shown in the middle. I then move the selection outline to right and fill it. The bottom right corner shows the rendered difference between the original design and the improved one.
GIMP is extremely sensitive to where I place the connecting spots when using the free-select tool. It would come up with different anti-alias fading depending on the location of the spots. Even if a spot is moved by 1 million-th of an inch, the anti-aliasing would be different. This means I have to manually reprocess the anti-aliasing. Is there a better way? I suppose this way is still 100x better than doing the edge fading by hand, which was what I was doing until I stumbled onto this earlier. You can see on the right, the anti-alias is different between the left part and right part of the image. This is because I am not a bot and unable to place the connecting spots with precision to the million'th decimal places.
