How to use Straighten: 
1.  Move the slider (or click the rotate buttons) until the 
photo appears straight. 
2.  Use the superimposed grid lines for vertical and 
horizontal reference. 
3.  Click “Apply” if you like the result. Click “Cancel” if you 
do not. 
1.6 Blur Background 
This feature can be used in a subtle way – to tone down 
un-important background details, or for dramatic effect- by 
making the main subject of a photo “pop out” of the 
picture. 
How to use the Blur Background function: 
1.  With your cursor, trace a line around the person or 
object you want to strand out. When you release the 
mouse button, the area outside the traced line will 
become slightly blurred. 
2.  Drag the first slider to make the transition between the 
blurred and non-blurred area sharp or smooth. 
3.  Drag the second slider to increase or decrease the 
amount of blur. 
4.  Click “Apply” if you like the result. Click “Cancel” if you 
do not. 
Saving Your Results
