Editing Blur Effects

After you add a blur effect to an image, you can edit the effect using the File Properties dialog or the Profiles Editor. Use the File Properties dialog if you want to edit blur effects for a single image only. Use the Profiles Editor if you want to edit blur effects for a profile, which can be used when capturing future images. See Creating Profiles.

You can also remove a blur effect.
