[Blur a part of a picture]

How do you blur something in an image without blurring the whole picture?

Thanks

Had to update my youtube link .New link

Thanks Martel, that does look better. Did the video make any sense or is it something that only I can understand?

Finally figured to right click and drag for a white frame, then it came to me to use the eraser to take out the white around the neck, thanks for your help.

Here is the YouTube link for a tutorial I did, it is a little blurry, I might have to upload a better quality video.

Thanks for the help, this is a test one that I did, I found out what I was doing wrong and am in the process of doing a YouTube on it.

Again thanks for the help

yes the black box and paint bucket is good (the tut uses a slanted box to add depth) it will work square too

make sure you are on the layer with the black box.

grab the magic wand

click the black box it will become grabbed or highlighted

next

switch to the picture layer below

then invert ctrl+i

then hit del

Thanks for replying, I tried it just like you said, even tilted the black box, but the black box will not co-operate, I am wore out trying to figure it out, maybe tomorrow. I noticed when I tried to drag the photo off the page a little I could see the the background picture, but the one I dragged a little to the right turned blue but no picture was on it, weird, oh well thanks anyway.

Hi all new here and like this site, having a few problems with this tutorial.

In step 3 I tried to create the black box using the Rectangle tool and doing a black fill with Paint Bucket. Is this right?

How do I Select the black box and then select the second picture layer?

When I Invert the selection it does nothing like is shown in the tutorial.

Thanks for any help
