Step 1
Open a photo you would like to edit. Or, you may use the photo used in this tutorial .

Step 3
Select the top layer and apply a Median filter (Filter> Noise> Median). In the Median filter tool, use a Radius that will blur most of the detail without losing the shape of the objects.

Filtering the Effect
The effect is applied, but it’s applied to the entire image. Now we need to filter
it so that it’s not applied on the edges.
Step 4
Add a layer mask to the top layer (Layer> Add Layer Mask> Reveal All).

Layer Mask Added
Step 5
Make sure the layer mask is activated. The thumbnail of the layer mask in the layers window should have a white border around it. If it doesn’t, click on the thumbnail to activate the layer mask.
Step 6
With the layer mask activated, use the Apply Image tool to apply the following
properties:
Layer: Background
Channel: RGB
Blending: Normal
Opacity: 100%

Step 8
