Without violating basic editing rules Gaussian blur can be applied & faded through edit menu. For fading by this method you don't have to be a image data in adjustment layer.Hope this helps to you.For your kind information I have ribboned in previous soft focus challenge Soft Focus III by using same method.The top 5 entries are validated on this site, which reconfirms the editing procedure.
