Photoshop Tutorial How to use Blur tool

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3 Once you have chosen a photo you want to use, it will appear here.

Step 4 Go into blur… First we will look at tilt shift.

The blur is how much it blurs outside of the dotted line. Step 6 Distortion adds zoom and spin, depending on which way you adjust it. Adjust light bokeh to bring out the lightest possible colour in all areas. Change Bokeh colour to bring out the colour that you took away, it brings out the simplest colour at its strongest.

Step 5 The straight line is the area where the blur stops completely, and is clear The dotted line is the line where it completely blurs out completely, you can change the amount it blurs with the circle in the middle

Step 7 You can drag the white circle around to make the blurred areas more/less blury You can rotate and expand the area where the picture is clearest.

Step 8 The finished product… ...but are we really finished?

Step 9 Next thing we will look at is Iris blur.

Step 10 The white dots in the shape, can be dragged in or out to create a point of focus, the area within, slowly blurs out. Iniris blur, you can create an area of focus, from here you can adjusted a few things. Thewhite square can be dragged to make the field of focus, a rectangle to a circle. Again, the circle in the middle canincrease or decrease the blur. You can also create multiple areas of clear imagery, by making more circles.

Step 11 There are also the same tools that we saw earlier in tilt shift, Light Bokeh, Bokeh colour and light range.

Step 12 The finished product… …Or is it?

Step 13 The last step is the field blur

Step 13 This is the blur of the whole image, even if you have got areas where you want a clear image.

After fiddling around with these tools I have a finished product. Step 14

Thanks for watching, Hope you learnt something new..
