A selective focus point, coupled with a soft blur surround, provides a way to remove or minimize distractions in images and directs attention to the 'star' element(s) in the photograph. This video workshop covers how to work with Photoshop's Iris Blur (in the Blur Gallery) to achieve that end. It's an ideal blur tool to use with closeups and macro images. The demo shows how to set up your image in the layer stack to work with the Photoshop Iris Blur, what tools and capabilities the Iris Blur interface offers and how to use them, plus explains how to make revisions to a saved, Iris Blur output.
