Soft Focus Sharpening one region of a picture while blurring all the rest is a
way to emphasize a particular area and grab attention. The soft
focus effect is a way to emulate a lens that allows shooting with
a short distance in front of and beyond the subject that appears
to be in focus.
Choose the central point of the area you want to be in focus,
then click the
Soft Focus icon beneath the photo. Adjust the
amount of blurring, then click Apply .
Straighten The Straighten effect helps you level a photo and is useful when
editing landscapes taken without a tripod (when the imaginary
line of horizon is not at 0°). This tool rotates a photo by a
specified angle and automagically crops the resulted image so
that you always see a perfect rectangle.
