Looking to blur out a background to reduce distractions? In Lightroom 3, use the adjustment brush with Sharpness at -100. If this is not enough blur, do it again: click on New to start a new adjustment, and paint a second time.
Also consider using the graduated filter with -100 Sharpness to simulate a shallower depth of field where the sharpness drops off gradually. UPDATE: If you blur out an object that you want to keep sharp, use the adjustment brush and paint back over the object with +100 Sharpness to restore its sharpness!
Is this cool, or what?
Here’s a video on how to use the adjustment brush in Lightroom.
Very cool. I wish I had thought of this. I will now.
Thanks for the tip
Video: no Flash on iPad, Laura. Bought DVD and love it on iMac and Macbook but .. iPad?
Appreciate all your tips. .. that’s why I bought DVD. Great reference!
Yes, Ed! The website flash ones won’t play on the iPad, but the DVD ones are MP4′s. Import them into iTunes, and then sync movies. I have them on my own iPad and iPhone.
