Brushing away blur and sharpening

In this movie I'll show you how to convert this sort of ghostly effect that we've achieved …so far into this final corrected version of the photograph by masking the contents of …both lens blur and high pass layers. …So I'll go ahead and switch to my image in progress here and turn-off the High Pass effect …so that we can focus our attention just on Lens Blur. …Now I am going to want to mask most of this effect away, so I will dropdown to the Add …Layer mask icon at the bottom of the panel, and I will press the Alt key or the Option …key on the Mac and click on it, and that will create a black layer mask.…

Now I will go ahead and switch to the Brush tool, which you can get by pressing the B key. …Right-click inside the Image window and make sure the Hardness is set to 0% because …we want some very soft transitions. …Then press the D key to instate the default colors, which when masking is white for …the foreground and black for the background, and then I am going to reduce the size of …my cursor a little bit and paint inside of this high noise area right there in order …
