Turn off the Blue copy channel, but don’t delete it… you’ll need it in a moment or two.Ĭlick on the letters RGB to make sure that th RGB channel is active. Turn on all the other layers (Click the eye to the left of RGB) Blur the channel again at a radius of 15 pixels. First, blur the channel at a 25 pixel radius.
