Any adjustments that you need to make to your image must be made in between the Local and Global layers.

If you make a mistake you can change the foreground to white and paint back over the area that you don’t want to be blurry.

Now paint over the areas that you want to blur by holding down the left mouse button and dragging your cursor over your image.

Press B to select the Brush Tool and set your foreground colour to black and the opacity to 100%.

Select the Local layer and go to Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal all.

You might have to redo this layer using a smaller setting. If the image looks really bad it means the Radius settings on your Gaussian Blur was too high.

The image should look very similar to what you started with originally.

Click on the eye icon of the Local layer to make it visible again.

Move the radius slider to blur your image then press OK.

Select the Global layer and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.

Hide the Local layer by clicking on the eye icon.

Change the blend mode of the Local layer to Linear Light.

Adjust the slider to give just enough contrast on the edge with the minimum halo effect then click OK.

Select the Local (top) layer and go to Filters > Other > High Pass.

Now, double-click on the name of the middle layer and change that layers name to Global.

Double-click on the name of the top layer and change the layers name to Local.

Duplicate the background layer twice by pressing Ctrl+J (PC) or Cmd+J (Mac) two times.

Is there a way using Raya Pro or Lum 32 (I have both) that I can have a blur layer that is not a clone/stamped visible layer that will allow me to make changes below the blur layer that will still show on the blur layer? In effect, this would be like a semi-transparent blur layer that still allows adjustment below to show through. Unfortunately, the only method that I can find to blur using photoshop, in-effect just paints a new blur layer like a clone stamp (or like a stamped visible layer for the blurred part of the photo) on a layer that is the new blurred layer which prevents me from making any adjustments under that layer that will show on the blurred layer. In photoshop I will often use a blur effect on water and clouds. I have a question that maybe you can shed some light on and maybe a new feature you could design into your app if it doesn’t exist.
