Remember that even removing the subject from the layer still results in
artifacts on the edges? I forgot how you got around that. Seems much more an
issue with "lens blur" than Gaussian blur. Gradient mask is great. I think a
refresher Moose tutorial might be necessary. Subject separation is much
harder with the portable slower zooms for MFT but that is the price of
portability.
Fuzz out w/o artifacts, Mike
