The Center X slider defines the position of the center of a selection along the horizontal axes. You can move it left and right.
The Center Y slider defines the position of the center of selection along the vertical axes. You can move it up and down.
The Rotation slider rotates the selection.
The Stretch X slider stretches or squeezes the selection horizontally.
The Stretch Y slider stretches or squeezes the selection vertically.
The Gradient profile slider defines the width of the gradient transition from the selected to the unselected area.
The Show gradient only checkbox turns on the special preview mode in which the gradient selection is shown in black and the rest of the image is white. You can use this mode to see the exact contour of a selection if you cannot see it clearly in regular mode.
The Invert effect checkbox lets you invert a selection.
