Blur image areas

The Blur tool softens hard edges or reduces detail in an image. The more you paint over an area with the tool, the blurrier it becomes.

  1. Select the Blur tool .
  2. Do the following in the options bar:

    • Choose a brush tip and set options for the blending mode and strength in the options bar.

    • Select Sample All Layers in the options bar to blur using data from all visible layers. If this is deselected, the tool uses data from only the active layer.

  3. Drag over the part of the image you want to blur.
