| Layer only affecting certain other layers However - this only produces a neat looking image when on a solid colour background, I try and put a pattern underneath and it doesn't look as good as I was hoping as the gaussian blur is now affecting the lines and the background. So, I was wondering if it is possible to have a Gaussian Blur layer as i described that only affects certain other layers, rather than all, and if so, could anyone give me step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish this? Cheers, Mike |

| Select your items you do not want effected on the layers without blur then go back to the layer you want blurred and with the selection mask it will prevent the blur in those areas ......hope that helps perhaps "JLBerry" can explain better, my typing skills limit me to short to the point. PM him, he's far better at detailing explanations, i am sure he will not mind.

| Hmm, I'm afraid I didn't see your edit till just a few moments ago - I managed to get the effect I wanted by using a layer mask and some very careful work with the sponge tool. Cheers for the help, Mike P.S. I'm very new to Photoshop, though I am aware that the best way to learn it's full potential is just to randomly follow tutorials. Could you share the URL of a decent website for photoshop tutorials that you know of please? I'm currently going through PSD learning | Learning Resources for Adobe Photoshop however there are relativley few tutorials on there. Last edited by Mike Read; 11-25-2009 at 08:06 PM.. |

| Actually that's false. The best way to learn Photoshop is by doing a course by a NAPP Photoshop expert, live or using a video or book. Tutorials come much later and are often not as useful as most people think. Take for example masks and channels; no tutorial will explain these as extensive and accurate as people like Deke McLelland, Katrin Eismann and Scott Kelby do (just name 3 random experts). |
