In this tutorial, I’ll show you a clean, modern workflow to get beautiful, natural-looking background blur with precise edges and fine details. We’ll start by properly separating the subject and background, then use Camera Raw’s Lens Blur with focus range controls to dial in depth exactly where it belongs. You’ll also learn how to fix common issues like missing shadows, mismatched grain, and rough edges, and how to refine everything easily with masks, Smart Filters, and subtle finishing touches. This method is fast, flexible, and works even on complex scenes where traditional blur techniques fall apart. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching 🙂
