Gaussian blur not working correctly? - CC_Dev - 12-20-2017
Operating on osx. Problem getting desired effect
Desired Effect of a guassian blur:

so It looks like the blur effect is a gradient opacity, but inverted? I want it to blur out from the border, not increase the opacity on the inside of the border. Border should be 100% opaque, with an increasingly transparent gradient out from the edge.
What am I doing wrong?

1. Duplicate the layer.
2. Blur the lower layer.
(3. If necessary, increase the size of the lower layer before blurring - to get the effect you want)
Don't have an active selection when blurring
Select > None

Ah! thank you Blighty, that did the trick.
