You can do a certain amount of blurring by using the Adjustment Brush with its Sharpness slider dragged to the left (set to a negative value). If that&#8217;s not enough, you can also drag the Clarity slider to the left. If you need a better blur than that, it&#8217;s time for Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, how do I <strong>add<\/strong> light flares in <strong>Lightroom<\/strong>? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m7_HmAlXETg\"><\/iframe>While a lot of photographers will simply start scrubbing out the detail with the Photoshop \u201cblur\u201d tool, Lightroom actually has a tool for exactly this purpose, allowing you to add depth without destroying your background pixels.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Lightroom good for beginners?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Is Lightroom good for beginners? It&#8217;s perfect for all levels of photography, starting with beginners. Lightroom is especially essential if you shoot in RAW, a far better file format to use than JPEG, as more detail is captured. &#8230; You need some sort of processing software to view RAW photos.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you fake bokeh?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Faking Bokeh can work pretty well assuming you have the right looking image. While it is not the perfect replacement for a wide aperture lens, with a little careful selection work in Photoshop and some patience, we can create a pretty convincing Bokeh look.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you add bokeh to a photo?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Fast aperture is best (at least f\/2.8)<\/li>\n<li>Use fast prime lenses.<\/li>\n<li>Long focal length creates more extreme bokeh.<\/li>\n<li>Shoot lenses wide open.<\/li>\n<li>Increase distance between subject and background.<\/li>\n<li>Move closer to your subject.<\/li>\n<li>Take close-up portraits and macro images in nature.<\/li>\n<li>Use a backlight, side light, or hair light.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you blur a bokeh in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to create bokeh overlays in Photoshop is to use the Field Blur filter (Filter > Blur Gallery > Field Blur). This Field Blur contains an Effects tab that allows you to create bokeh out of the bright areas of the images.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you blur faces?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Skitch.<\/li>\n<li>Video Mosaic.<\/li>\n<li>Video Toolbox Movie Maker.<\/li>\n<li>MovStash.<\/li>\n<li>KineMaster \u2013 Pro Video Editor.<\/li>\n<li>Blur Photos.<\/li>\n<li>Mosaic Pixelate Censor Photo.<\/li>\n<li>Point Blur.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I blur the license plate in Lightroom CC?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the image you want to work on.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool.<\/li>\n<li>Select the area you want to Blur.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Filters \/ Blur \/ Gaussian Blur.<\/li>\n<li>Select a Blur Radius of 100 pixels or more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you blur part of a picture?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pick the Lasso tool.
