Computers 8 - Blur

Hi Computers 8!

The assignment for today is called "Blur" and the gist of it is this:

1. Select a photo with a focal point.  Any subject will do.
2. Add any effects you would like (optional - filters, selective colouring, etc).
3. Under the "Effects" tab, select "Blur" (you will have to scroll down quite a ways to find it).
4. Make note of how the background looks, and adjust the vertical and/or horizontal blur as necessary to make sure that the background is sufficiently blurry.  DO NOT APPLY THE EFFECT.
5. Using the paintbrush tool, paint the focal point back into clear focus.  Utilize your zoom tool, smaller brush size, reverse effect, etc. to make sure that your lines are clean and precise.
6. When you are finished your effect painting, click "Apply."

Save the assignment as Last name, First initial, Blur.  You can hand it in to the folder next class (folder does not exist yet).
