Ahhh, thanks, Richard. Those were the clues I needed in my
floundering around. I experimented.
In the end, I made a mask freehand with the drawing tool: an oval-ish
filled shape covering the area I wanted to keep.
Then clicked Shrink a few times and Smooth a few times.
Then with magic wand I made all the unmasked area go white.
I'm sure I could refine my technique a lot, but the result will serve
the purpose: www.abbeypress.net/00temp/fuzzedge.zip (76K)
Thanks again.
