Make Images Blurry and Convert to Grayscale

Explore how to apply Gaussian blur to images and convert color images to grayscale using OpenCV in Python. Understand the functions cv2.GaussianBlur and cv2.cvtColor along with appropriate parameters to manipulate image appearance effectively.

You might’ve blurred photos or converted them to grayscale before with camera features or photo editing tools. These effects are commonplace and used to make images more suitable for a number of contexts. For example, flashbacks are often in grayscale. The OpenCV library provides us with functions to make images blurry or convert them to grayscale.
