Blurring Paint on a Layer

The Blur tool lets you apply a blur effect directly to the surface of your channel. You can use the Blur tool the same way as any other Mari brush, to apply a normal blur effect to any part of the surface.

Tip:  If you want to blur large areas of the surface, you may want to use the blur filters instead. These apply a controlled blur to entire patches. Mari includes several blur filters, including a controllable Gaussian blur. For details, see Filtering Images and Paint.

To use the Blur tool on paint:

1.   Start Mari and open your project.
2.   Select a layer with some paint on it.
3.   Select the Blur tool .
4.   Click and drag to blur your paint.
