Select > Feather - OR - Select > Invert > Feather

Hi Gimp-users,

I've seen some tutorials that do either:

1a. Make a Selection and then Feather. - OR -
1b. Make a Selection, Invert the Selection, and then Feather.

Sometimes, in either case, there is an intervening Grow.

Does the Invert of the Selection and then the Feathering (1b) produce different results than just Feathering the original Selection (1a)?

Thank you.

The feathered version of the inverted selection will of course be inverted compared to the feathered version of the selection, but otherwise identical.

I am going to retract that -- or at least qualify it. There is a difference if the selection mask is not "boolean", that is if it was already "feathered" to some degree before being feathered.
