The blur tool is one of the most popular tools in Photoshop. It can be used to create a light or strong blur on an object or layer. There are many different ways to use this tool, for example it can be applied to the whole image, leaving the rest of the photo intact; it can also be applied to a specific object within an image.

The Sharpen Tool in Photoshop is a great way to bring out details that may have been lost in an image. This tool can help bring out the texture of fabric, make hair look more feathered and make colors pop. It also helps to reduce noise and graininess in images.

The Blur Tool is a powerful Photoshop tool that can be used to create a soft-focused effect for an image. It's also very useful for hiding imperfections in an image such as dust, scratches, and reflections. In this article, we go over how to use the Blur Tool on both Mac and PC.

The Sharpen Tool is a quick and easy way to sharpen, or unsharpen, an image. It's good for bringing out features that may be hidden in an image or making low resolution images look more crisp. You can adjust the effect by changing the radius and threshold settings under 'Options'.
