With Adobe Photoshop, we can selectively focus in on a desired subject(s) in a photo by blurring unwanted parts of the image, controlling depth of field. I'll show you how to do this in this tutorial.

First, I need to open the photo, so I'll go to the "File" menu and select "Open".



Now, I'll browse to where the photo I want to open is on my hard drive and double-click on it to open it. Alternatively, I could click on the file name once and then click "Open".



Here's the photo I'm going to work on. It's a pretty good photo, but just imagine what it would look like if I blurred all the distracting "crap" in the back.
