                    CORRECTION TOOLS

                 Correction tools are used to improve the quality of the image by blurring, sharpening, smudging,
                 dodging and burning the image.

                 Blur/Sharpen Tool

                 This tool is used to blur the image or some part of it. It is also used to sharpen images to improve
                 their quality. It helps to reduce detail, smooth transitions, or create a dreamy effect. The Opacity
                 control, however, can be used to limit the amount of blurring produced by a single brush stroke,

                 regardless of how many passes are made. You can adjust the Opacity based on the level of
                 sharpness or blurness you desire.
                 To use Blur/Sharpen tool, follow the given steps:
                 Step 1  Open an image.

                 Step 2  Click on the Blur Tool icon in the Toolbox or press Shift+U.
