Blur.cs

{
    Bitmap blurred = new Bitmap(image.Width, image.Height);
 
    // make an exact copy of the bitmap provided
    using(Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(blurred))

            {

Hello,
I have seen you code in a StackOverflow conversation, and I found it was behaving weirdly. I think I found a bug inside of it, for me :
Color pixel = blurred.GetPixel(x, y);
Should be
Color pixel = image.GetPixel(x, y);
You can find the conversation here : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44827093/how-to-apply-blur-effect-on-image/44827454#comment76636962_44827454 if you wish

update on
// now that we know the average for the blur size, set each pixel to that color
for (Int32 x = xx; x < xx + blurSize && x < image.Width && x < rectangle.Width; x++)
for (Int32 y = yy; y < yy + blurSize && y < image.Height && y < rectangle.Height; y++)
blurred.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(avgR, avgG, avgB));

will be
// now that we know the average for the blur size, set each pixel to that color
for (int x = xx; x < xx + blurSize && x < image.Width && x < rectangle.X + rectangle.Width; x++)
for (int y = yy; y < yy + blurSize && y < image.Height && y < rectangle.Y + rectangle.Height; y++)
blurred.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(avgR, avgG, avgB));

x < rectangle.Width replaced with rectangle.X + rectangle.Width
and y < rectangle.Height reaplced with rectangle.Y + rectangle.Height
to blur the any specific portion on the image as the code is working right for entire image but for part of image it amy or may not work depending on provided coordinates in rectangle in the below function.

return Blur(image, new Rectangle(0, 0, image.Width, image.Height), blurSize);
