blurring on the layers on the layer list or the image at the top?

Just the image at the top. I used two Kige heads in that one. I just blurred a copied layer of Kige when I had it desaturated, matched in look and cleaned up. When his head is moving up or down, use the blurred layer. When his head is at the top or bottom (not moving as much), use the original (unblurred) layer. It's a small thing, but it helps the look of it.

I'm assuming just for continuity?

Yes

Also, am I right to assume that desaturating the image so you don't have to deal with color leveling is a lot easier?

Correct. A lot of times you will see a color tint or sepia in photos. If I am farking something into that photo, most of the time I will desaturate/grayscale both images. You can always add a color tint when you are done. That way it applies to both images the same instead of trying to match a tint to the original image.
