Hi Nguyen,

In my language there's no direct translation, although in printing/layout
jargon some use a word directly drived fron English. This is nonsense for
those who are not much into image-editing.

We have in this case used something similar to "obscure borders" "degrade
borders" depending on the context; feathering can be used for selections
as well as direct painting/filling in some software. There are surely many
more ways to express this.

Hope this helps
