Blur and Sharpen tool in Photoshop telugu tutorial Part 6

We’ll start with the blur, sharpen and smudge tools. With these tools, the name pretty much says it all. They don’t require that much explanation, but a few tips are always helpful!
The keyboard shortcut is R and you can toggle between the three tools using Shift R.

Blur – blurs the area where you paint.
Sharpen – increases contrast in the areas where you paint.
Smudge – blends the pixels where you paint simulating the action of dragging a finger through wet paint.

Each of these tools has a mode option and a pressure setting. The pressure setting determines how strong the effect is applied. With the sharpen tool especially, you will want to keep the pressure setting very low. Too much sharpening can have some really disastrous results. If you need to see it to believe it, just crank that pressure up to 100 and make a couple swipes across any image.
