Hi Stretch, The usual way to create blends is to use two layers and a layer mask. 1. Duplicate the photo to a second layer. 2. Blur either the top or bottom layer. 3. Add a layer mask to the top layer. 4. Use the Interactive Gradient tool to paint a black to white gradient on the layer mask. 5. Where the mask is white, the top layer shows. Where the mask is black, the bottom layer shows through. Where the mask is gray, the top layer is semi-transparent. Here's an example. Phil
