You can only adjust the blur on images taken in Portrait mode.

Fixed your title

how do you edit the title?

 

[Mr Bojangles1]

Go to your gallery and open the picture there. There should be a pen Icon to edit or it might be in the 3 dot menu

Or you could download an editing app like Snapseed

You dont have access from your account only Mods can do this

that is the funny part. tapping on the pen icon or 3 dot menu i do not see the pen edit icon. the only time i see that is after i do a screen capture.

i think you can only blur the background of a portrait photo with a face, correct?? by tapping the 3 dots and select 'add portrait effect'.

i see s21 has the option to blur out a picture using the pen edit icon, but that icon is clearly missing for the s22
you can watch the video here for the S21

and this is the pen edit icon that is missing for the S22

My s22 Ultra does not have the same layout as in the video. I opened this picture of Kiwi & after selecting the regular edit pen, I went to the draw feature which let's you choose options to blur the photo.

yes, i do have what you indicated in your picture. however, this allows you to blur the background before you actually take the picture, correct? what i want to do is the selectively blur part of a picture after it's been taken.

2. then you can see from the picture below, i do not have the same options as yours

After you open your picture & select the edit pen, then select the smiling face. You will see the draw option & the blur option is the pen I pointed to.

Here's Kiwi with no blur around him & a little blur around him. Just a quick no frills attempt. (A little rough, but it was just a test.)

the smiley face is the key. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

i wonder why samsung changed the pen edit icon to the smiley face from S21 to S22 because it sure it's not intuitive, at least for me.

have a wonderful day @BerryBubbles, and thanks again !!

You are very welcome! The Smiley Face is a strange icon for that option. Once you find it, the pens have different options like the patterns, etc.

Have fun with it!!

You can also download third-party photo editing apps like Polish and PhotoRoom to do that. I almost exclusively use Polish for my photo editing needs.
