Blur the background on this picture? Leon isn't online so can't ask him. I need the cat to be sharp still but the background blurred, or even changed and blurred slightly. A how to would be excellent I'm trying to put together a few photos for my parents and the house in decorating isn't a great background.

Thanks.

That's what I like to see .....a cat with attitude

My girlfriend calls him 'Hilter' because of his moustache

Cattitude surely :P

Just a thought, but you could have a look at PhotoFiltre. It's a free program which offers many different framing backgrounds.

It comes recommended and free of spyware. I've downloaded it, and it's relatively easy to use by comparison with Photoshop, though I can't say I've had enough need to get to get to grips with all of its options. It comprises a basic program download and options to download various other frames/backgrounds.

Just downloaded that on Mo's recommendation. I may use that more often, look what I did in just 2 minutes!

Needs to be redone, but thats exactly what I'm after, thankyou. Makes it so easy.

Download picasa 2 from the internet for free. It has some brilliant tools for altering pictures.

I think I can see what you mean........

Nice edit JR!

Hi In photoshop you first select the cat then inverse selection then use gaussian blur tool on background. killy

and I think it would be better if you also crop it

Hope this helps..
