    Hey folks! I'm curious if it's possible to make a mask with a soft edge. Any thoughts/tips/pointing-in-the-right-direction would be greatly appreciated!

    The RayCastMask component in the UI Extensions bitbucket repository allows for finer masking using the base image (based on the image, not it's rect) https://bitbucket.org/ddreaper/unity-ui-extensions
    That should give you some hints as to what to look for.

    Hi Simon!

    I'm struggling with the RayCastMask in order to achieve a soft masking on an image (kinda a rounded avatar profile image).

    How is it supposed to be used? It has to be attached to UI/Image? How the image mask is specified? As you can see I'm a bit confused on how it works ;).

    Thanks for your support.
