*UPDATED 2024 Blur Background Tutorial* ► th-cam.com/video/o_RfoDn6r1k/w-d-xo.html
I have an old version of Photoshop. Haven’t played in years. Nice to refresh! Thank you for posting! 🌹
Hands down the best and easiest "blur background tutorial" I have ever watched!
Thank you, diannescamera!
Exactly
Please which of the photoshop model you are using to edit this picture
Absolutely.
I agree! :D
For me photoshop was tough ..but you explained it in such a way..that it has started to become a little easy for now..thanks for that lesson dude ❤️
i'm struggling and i can't seem to keep up
check out this tutorial dear th-cam.com/video/Ry3B7mt9sCg/w-d-xo.html
Love how informative you are about everything. As a beginner, it's useful to know some shortcut and what each tool does rather than saying "Do this, do that" without saying what it does or anything. Just subbed!
Thank you!
Well said, my friend
i saw several videos on selections but found your video the easiest and most accurate. Thank you.
You're welcome!
One of your best ever videos Jesus. What I particularly appreciated is how you would state how one technique was not the best way, but you took the time to demonstrate the first one and then erase it and show the 'better' way. Brilliant. Excellent instructional technique and really brings home the learning. Thank you
I'm so glad I just came across this channel, the content is quality just like any paid courses I've consumed. Can't believe it's free. Cheers
woow smooth 😍
Thank you, Andhika!
You are truly amazing! Love this tutorial...so easy to understand. I also like the way you've bookmarked the different steps so you can revisit them easily!
Thank you!
The best way to blur background in photoshop without stress.. it's the best so far
Did not regret clicking to view the tutorials.... thought I knew how to do it in the first place but this method kind of brings me to another level. Thanks a lot.
You're welcome, Raymond!
I love the fact that he reminds us of features so even someone who is completely new to Photoshop can go through this tutorial without any difficulty
🙂
Who the hell dislikes these awesome and free tutorials. This is Gold 🥇
honestly, they probably jealous his tutorial is bettter than theirs lmao
I have been trying to figure out how to do this forever... THANK YOU! You made it looks so easy! Now it's time to try it out!

I bought a five-picture package from you for US49. I downloaded three pictures for the first time. When I downloaded the second time, you didn't show any price or it was different from the package I bought or prompted to download it, and my credit card was automatically charged. After the second US199, the credit card monthly statement was sent after the discovery.
When registering an account, a credit card was naturally bound and different prices were mixed into the package I bought, but I didn’t know the situation and downloaded it, that is to say, your website design is a trap, and you don’t care about goodwill to protect your own interests. Now you send an email to express no. Refund, I suspect you are a black shop.
This is one of the most professional though easiest tutorial I have seen so far. Very cool man, thank's a lot!
Your Kindness is a Precious Gift to All of Us; Thank You :-).
This is exactly what I needed for an assignment I'm working on, right now. Thank you.
You're welcome!
How do u select it's not showing here
@@godsentonobrauche97 We have different photoshop versions, starting from photoshop cc 2015 the command is available...but let's wait for the teacher😂
You explained it in a very logical manner. That's why it's the best tutorial for doing this.
I had to stop and start frequently as I don't use PS very often, but this tutorial really worked well for me. Jotted down all the steps so hopefully next time I will be able to make adjustments more quickly. Thank you for a clear, thorough tutorial!
Simply great, thanks ! At the beginning it takes sometime but the final result on my photos is 😍😍😍
Thank you, Magic!
This is one of the best Photoshop tutorial i attend after a long long time.
Thank you!
I just came across your channel when searching for how to blur the background in portrait images. I really do like this technique quite a lot and not overly complicated to do. There were times in the video I thought you went a bit too fast and had to replay those parts a few times. I think you have a very complete knowledge of photoshop and look forward to watching many other videos on your channel. It's a love/hate relationship for me and Photoshop. I love the power it has but hate the clunky and outdated user interface.
ive been learning via youtube over the years..... youre one of the channels that makes it easier to absorb what youre teaching, thank you.
This is a well explained and easy to follow along tutorial. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Your patience is of another level.
Thank you!
For me this is the best channel on TH-cam about Photoshop.
You really open the "black box" of Photoshop !
Greetings from Brazil!
Thank you very much!
Using photoshop for over 20 years i hardly learn new things, but i learned new things in this video that work great! Thank you for posting this!
i appreciate this so much sir, i honestly cant believe this is free, feels illegal
Thank you!
Oh, it should be illegal. It’s absolute garbage, and it lessens the trade of photography significantly.
Pedler's of trash, are trash.
@@lucaschudleigh7193 What about designers, Lucas? As a designer, this is often done. A client/art director sends you an image where you need to place text. If the photo doesn't have a shallow depth of field then you have to create it. Not everyone is a photographer.
@@lucaschudleigh7193 You seem to assume that photography is the only time this technique can be applied. As the saying goes, "Don't let insecure thoughts ruin something amazing". Good luck
You're the best one, thank's a lot
Thank you!
Nothing to add really, hands down best tutorial !
I have been doing this for YEARS, this is GREAT!
Jesus, I have been struggling so much trying to fix heir on ladies. Now, I will put this into practice and will keep you posted. Thank you so much
I think the method you showed in your previous video on this topic was better, as it did not require to shrink the selection around the subject after it was expanded to content-fill the background. It just required to make the subject selection, create a mask for it, then CMD/CTRL click on it to get the selection back, expand it a few pixels and use the expanded selection on the background layer to content-fill the area occupied by the subject. I do understand that using the special filter Minimum on the selection not only shrinks it but it can also be used for smoothing it, but that trick can also be used in the previous method, if needed.
check out this tutorial dear th-cam.com/video/Ry3B7mt9sCg/w-d-xo.html
That Bonus Tip was LIFE CHANGING!
This was the BEST video explaining how to do this I have ever found!! Thank you so much for this
Very helpful, thank you Jesus!
Man, this guy is so good it almost fills my heart with hate! 😄
😄
Hahaha keep it up man. Your videos are amazing! I have learned so much, I can’t thank you enough 😊
This is exactly what I need for the task I am working on, thank you very much.
Your tutorial was informative and easy to follow. I loved the description tiles after you introduced an element (i.e. smart object). I also enjoyed your friendly way of communicating the informaiton.
check out this tutorial dear th-cam.com/video/Ry3B7mt9sCg/w-d-xo.html
This is a fantastic tutorial. However when I get to Filter, tilt-shift (4.20) I keep getting a pop up saying could not complete the tilt-shift command because the initial bounding rectangle is empty. Any idea? I am a complete newbie on Photoshop. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the exact same porblem. Did you find a solution?
Nice
Thank you!
Great video! Made it so simple, and the results are amazing! Thank you so much :)
You're welcome, Cartier!
Thank you! You explain in a way that I can actually follow!
You're welcome!
Why won’t it allow me to choose “content aware fill”???
I'm facing the same issue
you may have accidentally done content aware scale. that's what I did the first couple of times
@@Miranda-bj5nd then,,,, as for me i dont
have content aware fill
It depends on what menu item you are using and what version of Photoshop you are using. You might have to go to the drop down box that specifies what to fill with (labelled "Contents" in PSCC Edit/Fill or "Use" in PSE Edit/Fill Selection) and select "content aware" from there.
You also need to know that it only works on a pixel layer, the menu item will be greyed out if you're trying to work on an adjustment layer.
Great tut, thank you. I appreciate the speed and how you broke up the sections, Subscribed.
You are the man. Clear, comprehensive, fluent. There are no better Photoshop tuts on the 'tube.
Thank you, Ross!
this is so far the clearest and easy to follow tutorial
The hair brush is awesome! Adding the grain to the blur is a great idea!
Your video is both informative & simple enough for a true beginner like myself. I look forward to learning more. Thank you.
You're welcome, LM!
Thanks Jesus! I do a crude version of this regularly to my photos for various reasons, but your technique is far superior and easier!
Thank you, Al!
Thank you so much for this! I can continue with my image!
You're welcome!
learning daily is my portion but this guy is addictive, the best tutor have had online. keep going you are amazing
This is BADASS!!! I did NOT know I could do this! I have been Manually removing backgrounds
This was a great video. I watched several times to following along with some of the photos I'm trying to edit and make into artwork. Thank you for short, sweet, and descriptive little tutorial.

As time has gone by I have referred to your channel more and more. I've learned so much and I wanted to thank you Jesus. Of all the channels I subscribe to on TH-cam, this one has become the only one I really can't live without.
Amazing, really helpful! Especially the masking tips!
I'm glad you found it useful, Andy! Thanks for Watching!
Excellent video! Thank you for making it simple and not going way too fast!

Dude, you are truly awesome! Very clear and concise. Thank you very much!
You're welcome, George!
one of the best tutorials I watched, very useful for photographers, thank you so much, I love your channel and you're the best, youtube is full of useless tutorials.
This is my first personal editing and your tutorial really helps a lot... keep going
Very informative. Thanks a lot for sharing your valuable findings and knowledge. Really helpful.
super ! even if i looked the other similar tutos with hairs, the way you use it here is very useful ! i will look again the "updated" tuto with blur background. i think we didn't make +5 and -6.
Great video Jesus!! Great tool to have when I can't take all the lenses I want on travel shoots! Thanks!
You're welcome, Chris!
This is awesome, now I’ll know what to do when I draw my comics
Thanks, Sir, for the good work. I'm really learning a lot from you.
You are a talented guy. I really love the way you teachs us how to use diffrent technics in PS. Keep it up 🤩
Thank you very much!
WOW this was so helpful and I learned so much! Thank you!
The use of the minimum filter is great. Never knew about that one.
👍🙂
Why expand first if you plan on contracting later? Great videos!
@@BillSmithBSartist Because if you do not expand you will most likely get an edge with the Content-Aware fill. And even after blurring the edges could be noticeable.
Loved the way it was processed neatly
Thank you, Photography Tips - Telugu!
A combo of expert knowledge and teaching skills unparalleled anywhere online 👍👍
Thank you, Richard!
It's very useful tutorial for me. I didn't keep touch with photoshop for months. Now I'm refreshing my mind to work with photoshop as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts💓
