Fade Selected Dots

The Fade Selected Dots button on the Standard toolbar is used to set the fade for the selected dots entirely to one picture instead of the normal blending.

This is most useful where you want to place a portion of one picture onto a portion of another picture, such as putting somebody's head onto somebody else's body. By default, photo mixes will blend both pictures together, creating a composite image that is a mix of both of the pictures. By setting certain dots to fade to the start and other dots to fade to the end, you can easily create smooth transitions in the resulting photo mix between the portions of the mix that will come from the starting picture and the portions that come from the ending picture.
