Blur and Sharpen
Often, a photo will need a focus adjustment. Although global
changes are often implemented through blur or sharpen filters,
it's frequently necessary to lightly touch up an area by hand. To
do this, you can use the Blur tool (to defocus) or the Sharpen tool
(to add focus or detail). Both tools are driven by
brush-like settings, which allow you to change
size, hardness, strength, and blending mode.
Remember that if the Caps Lock key is down,
brush previews are disabled.
