 Here's a little example of using blur image to do a saturated/blurred fade to white.

[pbcode]
   AnimalIMage=LoadNewFXimage(path$+"gfx\animal.jpg")
   
   scaleimage AnimalIMage,GetScreenWidth(),GetScreenHeight(),1+2

   Do
      Drawimage AnimalImage,0,0,false
      BlurImage AnimalIMage,8.5
      Sync   
   loop

[/pbcode]
