In this Photoshop tutorial, you'll learn how to use Photoshops Neural Filters to blur a background of a photo with realistic or creative results. Using this technique is one of the fastest and easiest ways to blur backgrounds in the photoshop, but by selecting the subject and separating the background, you get more control over the background blur for a more realistic result. If you are dealing with a subject with hair or fur, this tutorial will also share an easy way to retouch the edges of the hair and add realistic hair strands back into the photo to complete the project. Hope you enjoy! :)

Thank you so much for sharing this, I am stuck by my the neural filter , I got the message" the filter is not available". and when I am trying to fix this, I found the solutions are for Mac computers on RUclips , there is no solutions for Windows.

I dont have the word expand anywhere on my screen and I cant progess

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

Is there a slider one step function ? I have tried this and continue to get the error message ; Bounding Rectangle is Empty Can't Complete Tilt Shift. As a result I was unable to blur the background. However, I usually blur my background using a wider aperture.

After copying subject selection to background layer, I cannot get to where I am able to select content aware - it is greyed out. (Mac OS)

[@donmooney7159]

Sorry! no pixels showing in option bar to expand

Why don't you think things over and over again before publishing ? Why are so many YT influencers not really that altruistic , that is, responsible ? Probably because having people react in the comments is feeding the buzz to their channel, right? Bad publicity remains publicity.
(So I'm not going to explain and add here the mayor steps missing for a more realistic rendering..

Amateurish. Blur looks fake.
