Filter -- Blur -- Gaussian Blur
To add a Gaussian blur to the picture. At this step you will get a window as so:
Adjust the settings in it according to the above screenshot. And hit OK. Later on you can mess around with the setting to add or reduce the effect.
Having the blurred layer selected click on the drop down menu which by default should say “Normal”. Then select “Overlay”.
And that’s it. Your effect has been added:
