Controlling Effects Using Selections
When you apply an effect, Illustrator applies the effect equally to the entire image. Unfor-
tunately, that might not be what you had in mind. For example, you might want to apply
the Gaussian Blur effect to a portion of the image. In that case, Illustrator's selection tools
come to the rescue. The primary purpose of making a selection is to define a work area,

will be the selected area.
