Photoshop TutorialHow to use Blur tool

Step 1

Step 2

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

Step 4Go into blur…

First we will look at tilt shift.

Step 6

The blur is how much it blurs outside of the dotted line.

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 8The finished product…

...but are we really finished?

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

Step 10In iris blur, you can create an area of focus, from here you can adjusted a few things.

The white dots in the shape, can be dragged in or out to create a point of focus, the area within, slowly blurs out.

Again, the circle in the middle can increase or decrease the blur.

The white square can be dragged to make the field of focus, a rectangle to a circle.

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.

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

Thanks for watching, Hope you learnt something new..
