In the “Mode” drop-down box, select “Overlay”. In the Layers dialog, select the Blur Overlay layer. This step is not strictly necessary, but it is helpful to prevent confusion about what is on each layer, especially if you add some additional layers for other editing purposes, or more importantly, if you save the file with layers and open it six months later. Now double-click on the duplicate layer and rename the new layer “Blur Overlay”. Right-click on the Background layer and select Duplicate (there is also a button for this in the bottom button bar of the Layers dialog ( ). Open the Layers dialog (if it is not already open, it can be accessed through: Windows → Dockable Dialogs → Layers). Here is the original example image, loaded into GIMP. I adapted it for GIMP from a Photoshop tutorial on the web site (great photography web site BTW I recommend it). Giving credit where credit is due: I did not come up with this method. The basic technique is to create a duplicate layer in the image, lighten it and blur it, and combine it using a layer mode with the original. This is an interesting technique that intensifies and saturates the colors in the image, increases contrast, and adds a slightly hazy, “dreamy” feel to the image.
