My blur tool does not work half of the time when I'm trying to blend background from subject after using the lasso tool to change subject brightness, etc. I try to use the blur tool to fade away sharp edges and it won't work. I create a new layer, then try and nothing. Please help!!
Something I suspect a lot of people overlook is that we can choose any brush preset with any of the tools, so check that you have a hard round brush selected.
If you are trying to soften the intersection of a composited element, it gennerally works better to blur both the outling of the composite layer and the layer beneath it, so check Select all layers in the Options bar.
A trick I like to use is to stroke a path with the blur tool. You don't need a super accurate path, so might get away with Ctrl clicking to select, and making the selection into a workpath
This also makes it easy to repeatedly blur the outline by clicking the stroke path icon. Note: I do have it set to use the blur tool respite it say Brush
