Photoshop Gaussian Blur Effect

[::cyborg::]

Step 1:
Open your image .




Step 2:
Duplicate the layer 1 (or background) by pressing ctrl+J or going to Layers> New > Layer via Copy.

Step 3:
You need to apply the Gaussian Blur to it. Go to Filters> Blur> and Gaussian Blur. Apply a setting of about 2.0-3.0. The blur mainly depends on your image size. 2.0 to 3.0 works for most images..

Step 4:
In your layers pallette, set the mode for the layer to lighten.

Step 5:
You need to duplicate the original layer again. Do this by clicking on the original layer (or background layer) and then pressing Ctrl+J or Layers>New Layer.

Step 6: Apply the gaussian blur to the layer (about 3.0 blur)

Step 7: Now change the blend mode of the layer to Screen.

See mine . after all this (first one is with the screen and second one without the screen blending)
Ohhhhhh !!!(HILARY IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!)

Nice tut, but there is a very simple way. Make another copy of the original layer, and place the duplicated layer under the original layer. Now apply the Guassian Blur to the duplicated layer(6 would be better) and decrease the opacity of the original layer by 75% and you're done.
