Why would I blur an image on purpose?

You can use blurring commands to soften a selection or an image, to retouch a photo, or to remove noise in an image. The Blur commands smooth transitions and decrease contrast by averaging the pixels near the edges and near areas of significant color transitions. You can apply any of the Blur commands multiple times to the same image to increase the blurring effect.
