CJ2007 05 18When I get to this part "The goal here is to blend this blur effect into a focused area, obviously the focal point of the photo. It's easy in my example as this is a portrait and the face is the focal point. So, make a selection covering your focal point, leaving room for the effect to show around the edges. Take a look at the screen shot to see what I did" my photoshop tells me this "warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible." Then I click okay and nothing happens.
