Welcome to the third video in the series on new features in Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Today, we’re talking about new Blur Filters in Photoshop CS6. There are three of them:

All these filters are grouped in the Blur Filter category. One of the great new features in these filters that you are going to love is that you can adjust the filters right on the image! Excellent feature, very impressive!
