Use the Brush Mask tool in CorelDRAW or turn on the Mask Overlay tool to see what you’ve masked. This will allow you to “paint” a mask on the area you want to “protect.” Choose the Blur tab when you open the Effects from the top toolbar. You will see many creative options to blur your image.
Once you’ve decided on the type of blur you want, select it, apply it to your image, click OK, and remove the mask.
You can save the file or experiment with other ways to blur photos or add blur effects.
Bring more focus to your main image by blurring the background using a collection of editing tools in CorelDRAW. It’s a creative way to emphasize critical characters or subject matter more. Depending on the type and level of change you want, you can incorporate anything from a minor blur effect to a motion blur.
Upload the photo you want to manipulate, choose the blur you want, and then decide how far you want to go. The entire background? A subtle piece of the landscape? You get to decide the details. Share your reimagined photo with friends, on social media, or as part of an original project.
Sometimes, your art, graphic design project, or client requires your photos to be as sharp as possible. CorelDRAW is a full-featured suite that includes a robust photo editing app. With Corel PHOTO-PAINT, you can apply detailed retouching, add versatile enhancements, and make selective edits to sharpen your images.
Open CorelDRAW, navigate to the Effects tab and select Blur.
This will open a subset of popular blur options that include:
Open and experiment with your images until you find the outcome you like.
Apply a Gaussian blur effect to blend, soften, or smooth an image using CorelDRAW. It’s a quick, four-step process.
Yes! Like the Gaussian Blur tool mentioned above, CorelDRAW has a specific blur filter called the Tune blur effect.
This filter lets you apply four blurring effects to a single image. Once used, you can preview the impact as you make your photo softer or sharper.
This process allows you to edit until you achieve the desired result.
