-- BTW, a good read if your interested in custom GMail themes.
A visual effect and blurring technique that resembles viewing the image through a translucent screen. The effect can be applied to the entire image or only a region, see the example below (a screenshot of the actual comment).
Before:
-View of the image before the effect is applied.

After (region):
-View the same image after the effect is applied only to the posters' nickname.

After (entire image):
-View the same image after the effect is applied to the entire image.

Here are a few free programs to create this effect (and others):
- Paint.NET - www.getpaint.net
- Irfanview - www.irfanview.com
- Gimp - www.gimp.org
Try a YouTube.com search for 'paint.net' to find video tutorials or view this Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=AA560F9E4F5986A9
