Full transparency at the edge -- yes, very important!  I've noticed in some
cases that even the very edge, as faded as it is, is still a 'hard' edge.  That
definitely won't do.

I'm very interested, but I can't figure out what to do with the contents of file
feather_paste.py.  I can't find any .py files in any GIMP subfolder.  I've
googled, to no avail.  Thanks.

By the way, is there a way to not have to type in the 'challenge' every time I
want to post in this forum?  Can't always read those darned little things. 
Also, can I not edit a post after I've made it?  If you happen to know.  Thanks.
