Masking blur and sharpen layers

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 the 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 effects so that we can focus our attention just on Lens Blur.…Now I'm going to want to mask most of this effect away.…So, I'll drop…down to the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the panel.…And I'll press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac and click on it.…

And that'll create a black layer mask.…Now, go ahead and switch to the Brush tool…that 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'm going to reduce the size of my cursor…a little bit and paint inside of this high noise area…
