you may learn a tad more from trying these out! If you go to our homepage and navigate to the very bottom of the page you will see a blue link typed Useful Links We had a stage of adding various tuts and tips in this section a few years ago. I will learn though, expect to hear from me a lot in the future! I am using Photoplus X4, and am struggling to be patient since I am new to photo editing. I will hopefully post the results here soon. That was extremely helpful thank-you Sean. Seanyriley45 (a group admin) edited this topic ages ago. I see that Caz is on the case whilst I have been doing this effort :>) I am not really all that clued up on PhotoPlus and others may comment further-but this works for me Then go to Effects from the toolbar menu and click on Blur and Blur More a few times till you are happy with the amount that the selection area has changed(blurred) ![]() in the example I use I have selected the bird and it's perch only, then when happy that I have done a reasonable job of this I then went to the Select menu of the toolbar and clicked on Invert This then selected everything but the bird and perch (the stuff I wanted to blur. ![]() On the other hand if it's quite a contrasting background you would have to use the Selection brush and painstakingly draw/select over either the stuff you want to keep in focus (ie Bird) or if its easier select/draw over the stuff you want to blur. If it's all one colour or very close colours it may be possible to use the magic wand. You can do this a few ways dependant on inspection of what you want to select! You have to select the area you want to blur first.

I'll try and post a mini tutorial at lunch (uk time). ![]() The best thing is that you can easily correct mistakes. It's a really quick approach (5 min or so) and gives good results. I'd probably do this using a gaussian blur layer and a mask. Plain and simply, I want to blur the background of one of my bird images, but whenever I adjust something, nothing seems to even happen.Ĭan somebody please give me a very easy step by step approach as to how to blur my background - this is so freaking confusing :s
