|The first image is Bokah made with camera by having lights in the background but with a low aperature so your camera can not focus them properly. You can easily create bokeh in photoshop using Bokeh brushes actions and even Alien skin do a plug in called Bokeh available here for a 30 day demo trial Alien Skin Software: Bokeh 2.


The 2nd image is camera based as well low aperature so throws everything out of focus except for what you have focused in. the link i provided also does this effect and so does many other companies like nik software and topaz labs they are called lens effects.


without 3rd party plugins though you can achieve it by duplicating your image then go to filter > blur > Gaussian blur and blur it to however you like.

Apply a layer mask and use a soft edge brush and paint in black where you would like your image to be in focus.

Just try not to have a hard brush so you can see it is photoshopped and un natural.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
