Use Selective Blur
For the most professional results, apply blur selectively to specific areas rather than the entire image. This creates a natural depth of field effect that draws attention to your main subject.
Combine with Other Adjustments
For more impactful results, combine blur with other adjustments like increased saturation or contrast on your main subject. This creates even more separation between the blurred and sharp areas of your image.
Consider Your Content
Different types of images benefit from different blur intensities. Portraits often look best with moderate background blur (2-3), while product photos might need stronger blur (3-4) to eliminate distracting backgrounds completely.
Create Gradient Blur
For a more natural look, try creating a gradient blur that gradually increases in intensity from foreground to background. This mimics the natural depth of field produced by camera lenses and creates a more professional result.
