Focus Object Tutorial

focus object:
the main objective here is, we will make the image to focus on something/someone and make the others blur.

-copy/duplicate the 'background' layer (you can see the layer in your bottom right hand side of the screen) by using the shortcut key CTRL+J.
-there will be a new layer formed; 'background copy'.
-then click on the 'background copy' and make the layer invisible by clicking the eye beside it.
-next, click on the 'background' layer.
-make the 'background' layer blur; go to filter>blur>gaussian blur>chose any radius until you satisfy.
-after that, click on the 'background copy' layer and make it visible again by making the eye appear again.
-after you done that, choose Eraser; shortcut key is E.
-then go up and you will see 'brush', click on it and choose the brush with '200' which is the blur brush.
-finally erase the part in the picture we didnt want to focus. ERASE THE AREA WHERE YOU DO NOT WANT TO FOCUS!
-after you finish with everything, emerge all layer into one; click CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E.
-now you will have a new layer call, layer 1.
-guess what, you finished with the focus object tutorial.
-you can save the image if you want because we already done with what we wanted.
