Part 3/5:
The Gaussian Blur works by averaging the colors of the pixels around the text, effectively creating a smoother, softer edge. Experiment with the blur radius to see how it changes the appearance of your text. You might start with a blur radius of around seven pixels.
Step 3: Fine-Tuning the Effect
While applying Gaussian Blur, it’s essential to find the right balance—too much blur can wash out your text completely. If the text appears overly blurred, you can duplicate the layer to enhance the effect without losing clarity. By duplicating the blurred layer and merging it with the original text layer, you consolidate the effects into one seamless appearance.
