                  Blur Tool makes the image hazy or softens the pixels of an image. It helps to
                  highlight the main object in the image.

                  Follow these steps to apply blur effect:

                  Step 1:    Open the image on which you want to apply the blur effect and
                          select the Blur Tool from the Tools panel.
                  Step 2:   To increase/decrease the blur effect, use the Strength settings in
                          the Options bar.                                                      Image before and after

                  Step 3:  Click and drag over the area which you want to blur.                   using the Blur Tool
                  Sharpen Tool increases the contrast of the pixels at the edges thus increasing the focus on the image.

                  Step 1:    Open the image and select the Sharpen Tool from the Tools panel.

                  Step 2:   Keep the value of Strength under 25% to get a subtle effect. When
                          working with Sharpen Tool, use the Zoom  Tool over the areas
                          where you want to apply the tools.

                  Step 3:  Click and drag over the area to increase the sharpness.              Image before and after
                                                                                                using the Sharpen Tool
