Blur Background
This feature can be used in a subtle way -- to tone down un-important background details, or for dra-
matic effect -- by making the main subject of a photo pop out of the picture.
How to use Blur Background:
1. With your cursor, trace a line around the person or object you want to stand out. When you release
the mouse button, the area outside the traced line will become slightly blurred.
2. Drag the first slider to make the transition between the blurred and non-blurred area sharp or
smooth.
3. Drag the second slider to increase or decrease the amount of blur.
4. Click "Apply" if you like the result. Click "Cancel" if you do not.
Saving Your Results
When you're done editing a photo, click Save As to save your results. You can choose to overwrite the
original file or save a new one.
Click "Close" to exit the Photo Editing module.

fect, like moving a nose from one person to another.
