Photoshop create lens blur effect

Lens blur effect usually happen naturally when you shot object using DSLR camera. It's hard to get your background photo blurry while using pocket camera because the lens in pocket camera doesn't had a flexible depth of field. In this post I will share how to create a blurry background photo using photoshop.

Blur effect usually uses to enchance the point of interest of photo's main object. There's some techniques to make a good point of interest in photography, I'll explain in the next post... :D
Well, here's the step by step process:
- Open your image
- Choose lasso tool then select the main photo object first, that will be a point of interest.



- You can set the feather into 40-50 px to make your selection smooth the outer area. Open feather menu by pressing Shift+F6. Feather will help you to reduce the boundary between the focus and the blurry area.

- Inverse the selection (ctrl + shift + i) This will invert the selection into background.



- Now go to filter - blur - lens blur. Change the amount of blur in radius menu.
- Click OK then you've got the blur effect applied to the photo.
