We recommend being more than zoomed in for this one to go better detail, so we will zoom in.
10

Click and elevate the slider underneath the give-and-take "Radius"

.

As we elevate it, the numbers next to "Radius" are irresolute. This blurs the image. It actually changes the radius of the pixels. What it does is finds similarly colored pixels and spreads them, rather than allowing for so many unlike colors. If nosotros select the radius to be quite big, we lose the item.

Zoom out in the background by pressing "Ctrl" and "-" together

.

Note that the paradigm well-nigh looks like a painting when we have the radius increased.
12

Click and drag the slider underneath the word "Threshold" to the right

This is an alternate way to change these options. This can be useful one time we're more used to working with Photoshop CS6, and we may already know what number we want to use as a starting point.

We volition click "OK" to add together our changes to the sail. Note that this doesn't salve it to the image. We will still take to salvage ordinarily to make the modify permanent. If we change our minds now, nosotros can click "Edit" and pace backwards. We take shown you how to do this in another tutorial.
