MadJik Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 1.Add a layer, fill it with black (for a black border) 2.Choose the rectangle selection tool and select from 50,50 to width-50,height-50 and press delete. 3.Gaussian blur, amount=50 (or more) EDIT: I haven't see your picture 4.For a square image you could do a radial blur 360!

Bob Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 :AddNewLayer: Add a new Layer :SelectAll: Select All :FillSelection: Fill Selection with Black Use a :RadialBlur: Radial Blur in transparency mode. Q&D. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Both methods will work well, Madjik's is easier. If you wanr rounded border then use Hold Shift Key while making the selection to get round.
