If I click on the Blur tool and then Filter, Blur, none of the options are available to click on. What am I doing wrong? It seems so simple on the video. Thanks for helping me.

A couple of things to address Gladys’ concerns. Firstly, the Blur Tool seems to be at a default of 1% strength. At least, that’s what mine is and I’ve never used it before. So, if Gladys tried to use it, the effect would be almost imperceptible. Secondly, the Brush settings (Shape Tip Diameter, etc…) is not visible by default. One would have to double click on one of the Brush presets to open the Brush settings. In the video, the Brush settings just happens to be open by default. Hope that helps.

I am a little confused. On the main menu, I do not have a “filter” selection. Is this a different version of Pixelmator?

@Chasity, you have a newer version. The effects in the Filter menu are now available in the Effects Browser. Here’s quick video about it: http://www.pixelmator.com/tutorials/effects-browser/
