 Hello everyone welcome back to another adobe photoshop 2020 tutorial guys this one i'm going to show you how to get a depth of field or that sort of nice soft blurry look into this photograph and i'll show you how to do it in like 90 seconds or less we're going to use the lens blur which has been adjusted a little bit inside photoshop 2020 so let's just get in and dig in and get going uh i've got a layer here selected i've got a guy doing taking a photograph of him taking a photograph which is weird but whatever um bottom line is guys the first thing you want to do is we want to well basically we want to make the trees in the background a little bit soft and blurry and we want him to be in focus so the first step here is i want to go up to select and then i'm going to go up to select uh pardon me i'm going to make sure i'm clicked on the layer yes i am so i'm going to go up to select and then i'm going to select subject in this case you'll see here it has drawn a pretty good looking um pretty good looking uh marching ants here a little selection here around him there are some changes i would recommend making so let's go ahead and do that and i'll try and do this nice and quickly i'm going to go over here to the lasso tool and i'm going to select l and boom i've got my lasso now if you just start doing lasso work it's going to make a new selection so what you have to do is you have to hold down the shift key and now i'm going to lasso around this camera and i didn't get it perfectly as you can see so i'm going to do it again okay and maybe there okay that's a little better and the tip of this guy's hat i'm going to add to it again i am holding down the shift key wow i'm sorry guys normally i would do this with a with my ipad pro but um i don't have it with me so yeah okay so this is again you would probably want to then hold down the alt key and then sub or part of me the command or the option key and start minusing out portions of this as well but i'm not going to show you how to do a mask like i mean or how to draw a selection that's another video that i've already done part of me so there we go we've got a decent selection here of this guy now let's get into the meat and the potatoes all right so the next step here is you want to go up make sure you're clicked on your layer you want to go to filter drop down to blur and now we're going to go to lens blur when you click on this you're going to see a bunch of stuff you're going to see that the um the guy is well in my case i've got it set up so i'm going to do it you'll see here that he is blurred out but the background is not blurred out now you would probably be not be seeing this because i've been messing around with the specular highlights so i'm going to do this a basic reset as to what you would see if this is your first time so this is what you would see without any of my adjustments um he has been blurred out the background eh not so much um the way you want to do this you want to fix this part of me is you want to click on the invert button here and then presto bang he is now in focus and he is nicely focused on and everything else is a little blurry now as you look over here you're going to see a whole bunch of things the ones that really matter i think are the radius so depending on how much blur you want to put in there so if we want to go like ultra blurry like he's had 46 beers okay that's one or if you just want a very subtle like maybe i don't know what you thinking 15 let's go with something like that that's yeah that's about right you can mess let's go with 13 right so it's a soft so he's in focus the the background's a little softly blurred um you can make changes to other things down here like brightness and thresholds so if you want to under specular highlight so if you want to like um put some some nice little finishing touches in that can also do that but again i don't want to go way down that rabbit hole this this technique alone you probably do in about 90 seconds if you start front to back on it and that's it guys this guy's out of focus he's in focus the background's nice and soft you've got to depth of blur uh depth of field that's how you do it guys thanks for watching tutorial i got a lot more stuff coming up stay tuned
