Dj Ozz G Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hi all, Can you please advise what i might be doing wrong with my selection from the photo attached? I am trying to make a selection to the background then apply some "Gaussian Blur" to the background (unsuccessful so far). Using iPad 8th Gen - iOS 14.8 Thanks.

Alfred Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Copy and paste from the original pixel layer to put the selected pixels on a separate layer, and then apply the Gaussian Blur effect to the new layer. If the original layer is an ‘Image’ layer rather than a ‘Pixel’ layer you’ll need to rasterize it before you can copy selected pixels.

That’s what I got here when I made a pixel selection and used the ‘Duplicate’ command (expecting only the selected region to be duplicated) which is why I said to copy and paste.
