Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Defocusing backgrounds in Photoshop CC, part of Video Gear: Technical Tips.
- Alright Rob, you know my feelings about Photoshop.…It's my first love when it comes to software.…- I think you have already booked your Photoshop world trip…for the next ten years in a row.…Yeah, absolutely.…- Yes, I love Photoshop, and I love…what I can do with focus in Photoshop.…So, you mentioned doing some stuff here.…We already opened a still earlier,…but a lot of people don't realize…you can actually bring video files into Photoshop.…That easy, just drag it on there…and it's going to open it up.…- Yeah, of course, and this is kind of…one of those hidden things that's not so hidden…to users like you who know about Photoshop,…but I think it will surprise a lot of…editors and camera people.…
But, yes, you can in fact work with video in Photoshop.…So you know Rich, one of the things that I've been…playing a lot with in Photoshop is the blur gallery.…For me anyway, it's given me a lot of creative inspiration…about how to selectively blur a background plate out…and blur shots so I can sort of…target my viewer's attention.…
