                        By default, the pattern created will be of the same size as the document. To avoid this, select a
                                            particular portion of the image to make it as a pattern.

                           Blur, Sharpen and Smudge Tool

                      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.

                      Follow these steps to increase the contrast of the pixels:
                      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
                      Smudge Tool mixes and blends the colour of an area in the image. Smudge
                      Tool pushes pixels around the canvas. It looks like you have dragged your finger through wet paint.
