Blurs make image transparent

[132ads]

Hello, I am just editing a photo but when I use, say the gaussian blur, it makes parts of my image transparent.

 

I don't think this is a bug but if someone can help me with this that would be great.

 

Attached is a photo of what happens.

If you are blurring an image that contains transparent pixels within the radius of the pixels being blurred, some of that transparency will find its way into your blurred pixels. That is the nature of the blur function's math routines.

If you want to eliminate the transparency, there is a plugin in my pack that you can use. Just use "Adjustments > Transparency" and move the slider toward "Opacity".

Or, you could try my Gaussian Blur+ plugin with the "use most opaque alpha" check mark.
