📌 Why this matters
Blurring images lets you create professional-looking backgrounds for text overlays, direct attention to specific slide elements, or soften distracting details without removing the image entirely.

You can also use varying blur levels across multiple images to create visual hierarchy, guiding viewers through your content in a deliberate sequence while maintaining the emotional impact that photos bring to presentations.
