I used PHOTOSHOP CS w/ this tutorial but PS CS is similiar to older versions as well
1) Open up your PHOTOSHOP program
2) Pick an image you would like to use this effect on, i chose the image below

1) Go to LAYER, then DUPLICATE LAYER.

1) You now have 2 LAYERS
2) Go to FILTERS, BLUR, then choose GAUSSIAN BLUR.

1) Where it says “RADIUS: ” choose around 3.0 pixels.

1) Now go to the bottom right toolbox where it says LAYERS, there is a drop-down menu that has all the effects it can add to your picture w/ the blur, i chose OVERLAY.

this is what i got :-p
