Hmm. Except I'm not really working with images. At least, I'm trying to avoid 
that if possible. Maybe I should have explained a little better.

I've got a stack that will eventually be a mobile app. I have to toggle a 
screen overlay of sorts that will present to the user only certain words to tap 
on. In order to make those words more apparent, I'd like to blur/darken 
everything else in the background. I have the darkening part working by simply 
using a gray colored graphic with blending turned on. But this doesn't make the 
clickable words "pop out" like I'd like them to. One example off the top of my 
head is the way Apple's update Reminders app works on the iPad under iOS 7. Not 
sure if you've seen it, but when you open it, your reminder list titles are 
listed on the left, with the reminders in the selected list showing on the 
right. The background of the app now as some kind of blur effect applied to it 
so the wallpaper on the home screen actually shows through.

Any way to do something like that in LC? Could this code provide a blurred gray 
image that I could then make semi-transparent? I actually tried it for fun, but 
it didn't seem to work. But my image processing skills are basically nil, so 
maybe it could be tweaked a bit to work?

Thanks,
Chris
