   In the expanded menu that appears, click "Blur"

   .

   A green bar will move across the bottom of the screen while the changes are loading. Then, the blur effect will automatically be applied to your image. This effect is good for creating a subtle depth of field to your image but does not allow you a lot of control over the appearance of the final product.
