Hi everyone,

Why is it the case that blur function works on one line of an image but not on the other line?

Sorry I'm learning how the forum works and made two similar posts. Response to either one is appreciated.

Using the Blur tool directly on an image is destructive in the sense that if you save & close the image, you can't revert back to the un-blurred version. For this reason, I always make a duplicate layer with Ctr / Cmd + J beforehand. If I totally mess things up, I have the orginal layer as backup.

It's unrelated to this topic but is it possible to have arno - pro font in its non-bold version OR is it always in bold? I want to use its bold version in one part of the line and its non-bold version in the other part of the line.

Hi

The most likely reason is that they are on different layers. If you don't see it, you can show your Layers panel here.

Excuse my ignorance but how does one see or show layers? I started using Photoshop today. P.S.: this image was created by a friend so don't know how she did it.

Go to the Window menu. All the panels are listed there in alphabetical order. The one you want is called "Layers". It may already be open — it looks like this. The blur filter will work on the selected layer.
