Old tech vs. new

[Khoi Pham]

If you spend 10 minutes in photoshop and create a bunch of soft edge mask and save them in a folder then it is instant next time you use them, I have a folder with nothing but mask in it, I hardly use region except when I have a need to keyframe it to move, but yeah if they can get blue to work with region that would be great, more power to us.

Sorry Khoi...
I'd miss the instant flexibility, ellipse and edge blur of Region.

Use 2 layers, one with a mask then you won't need the region filter.

I'd really like to use my NewBlue filters in the Region filter, but Region appears to be from the good old, flat-earth days and only has Edius filters in the drop-down list. :~(

Here's hoping there's progress on the old filters eventually.
