Re: GRRRRR
You got it. In standard mode, you're running the blur on the selection, or the part of the image contained by the marching ants. In QM mode, you're running the blur on the mask itself, making a smooth transition. This confuses me as well, which is why I prefer to save the mask as a selection, and do things like Gaussian blur in the alpha channel itself. Then when I want to use the mask, I simple Ctrl-click the alpha channel, switch the the layers panel, choose what layer I want to mask, and hit the Add Layer Mask button. You can also use the menu: Layer > Layer mask > choose the appropriate item from there.
Glad you worked it out.
