PSCS - Problem with selected mask area

Steamedroller

I am currently working my way through a tutorial that requires me to use the brush tool and brush over a few parts of a womens face on a duplicated layer so I can add a gaussian blur etc later on. That's all working fine except that when I Select the brushed area and add the blur, it adds the blur to the whole photo and not the specified brushed area.... I'm wondering if there is a simple way of reversing which area is effected so I can reverse which area gets the blur, I'm pretty sure there is a reversing function but I can't find it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Try select/inverse if everything but the selected area is altered, if it's everything including the selected area and the rest of the image, check your on the right layer. Wayne
