The area around the image is transparent/nothing...just alpha channel. I've been "initializing" to the default white. I can select a region with magic-wand and grow/shrink. Gaussian blur uses white? So, what am I missing? I want the edges of my cloud to fade out.
ofnuts instructions are quite clear: he said initialize from selection
so if you have a cloudllike shape on a transparent background, you can alpha select the cloud shape and add a layermask from selection
then deselect, highlight the layermask and apply Gaussian Blur
so if i understand you correctly, this is what it might look like
(keep in mind, for getting a fade effect via Gaussian Blur, you would have to shrink the selection before you intialize the layermask)
it would be much easier to give advice if you provide an example in the form of an image
