On the front page, you'll see the main logo, with some sort of a "zoom-in" effect.

How do I apply this effect on a picture?

Alright, here's what you do:

In Photoshop [this is the only thing I can think of to do it in, I'm sure PSP has a stole--worse filter version of this] first open the image, and then use the Lasso Tool to outline the part you -don't- want blurred. It doesn't have to be perfect, just get the basic 'concept.' Now that you've got it selected, feather it [Select:Feather] about 4 pixels or so. Then, invert the selection. Apply 'Radial' Blur from under the Blur subselection in the Filters menu. Hit Zoom blur, set it up how you want, and VIOLA!
