Not only is there the Camera Lens Blur Effect in Adobe Photoshop that you can use on your footage, there is a whole collection of blur filters at your fingertips called the Blur Gallery. In this movie, author Richard Harrington walks you through the Blur Gallery and demonstrates how to use several of them on your footage in Photoshop.
- Besides the camera lens blur effect,…there's an entire collection of filters called:…the blur gallery.…These make it easy to create advanced looks,…using a wide range of blurring techniques.…Let me walk you through them.…I'll choose to open up several files.…And I've got a collection here.…Let's work with these four images.…One's a movie and the other three are stills.…This is a raw file, so I'll just recover…the highlights a little bit,…lift the shadows, and pull down the overall exposure,…and with the graduated filter, here,…we'll pull down the sky just a little bit,…reducing the clarity, but popping up the saturation.…
That looks good.…Alright, as we work, we have the blur gallery.…Now, you can choose to convert for smart filters,…if you wanna work non-destructively.…Now, from the filter menu, you'll see blur gallery.…And depending upon your version, these might be grayed out,…so if you can't work with these on a smart object,…choose to rasterize the layer,…or don't use the smart object effect.…Let's start here and use the iris blur.…
