I know people do all sorts of craziness using layers and masks, so hopefully I can grasp my head around <em>this</em>. I knew this was possible, with Photoshop/GIMP/etc, my problem always seems to be finding the most <em>efficient</em> and easy method. My clumsy clicking usually takes way too much time with rather boring results. Thanks so much!

The only thing i would add to the tute is to use a gradient in mask mode to create the gradual change in blurriness Thanks Emma, a good primer for people to experiment with, of course there are various methods to tweak this but the principle is the same.

I, however, do not criticize negatively. Sometimes, negative suggestions are merely the way some persons attemmpt to show off their knowledge, but it is a poor way to do it. Thanks for your tutorial.

Apologies about the idiots who seem to pull a part every photoshop tutorial that gets posted on DPS. It's a pity that people can't be constructive or appreciative of the work of others.
