This boring and distracting background was transformed to highlight an intimate moment between the couple with the Lens Blur tool.I recently purchased a EOS M100, which came with the 15-45mm kit lens (autofocus). Look at how we transformed this image in just a few simple steps. You can save it to your computer, or save it as a project as a BFD file in BeFunky or your desktop to come back to and work on later. Next, select the Save button at the top of your canvas and select where you want to save your final image to. This will apply the effect to your image. Step 4: Apply the Effect and SaveĪfter you have achieved the perfect amount of blur and bokeh, and isolated your subject to your liking, click Apply. If there is a section that you want blur to cover that the Isolate Subject button removed it from, select the Keep option to use the brush over the areas you want the blur to stay. Adjust the size of the brush with the slider so that you are able to click on the image with a brush size customized to the section that needs the effect removed. If a section of your subject is still blurred, the Remove button will remove the effect from certain areas that you use the brush on. This may not be perfect, so there might have to be some fine-tuning that occurs with this. If you click on the Isolate Subject button it will automatically locate the subject of your image and erase the effect from it. This will pull up the settings menu for erasing the effect from your image. If your image has a main subject that you want to isolate, you’ll select the Erase tab. Step 3: Isolate the Subject of Your Image

The higher the blade count, the softer the bokeh in your image will appear. A standard DSLR camera lens typically has 7 blades, while film cameras have 6 on average. The Blade Count refers to the number of blades you would find on a camera lens that controls the aperture. The Blade Curvature controls the shape of the bokeh orbs, decreasing the amount makes your bokeh shape have sharper edges while increasing it gives you round edges. Bokeh Intensity is going to adjust the intensity of the effect to the light sources in your image, the more intensity you select the more the lights will have orbs around them. Blur Amount will increase or decrease the amount of blur in your image, too much and your photo may barely be recognizable, and too little and there may not be much impact on your image. Play around with the sliders to see what effect they have on your image. Step 2: Customize the Settings of Lens Blur This can be a little shocking at first, but the next few steps will help you create the perfect image. Click on it, and it will apply the tool to your entire image. It is found under the Blur and Smooth section. Once you have opened your image locate the Edit tab on the left side of your canvas, and select Lens Blur. To get started, click here to open up your image in the Photo Editor.
