Depth of Field Control and Selective Focus with Photoshop

I want to blur everything else that is not currently selected. In order to do this, I have to invert the selection, selecting everything that is not currently selected and deselecting what is currently selected. I can do this by going to the "Select" menu and sliding down and selecting "Inverse".

Now that I have the background selected, I want to blur it. I can do this by going to the "Filter" menu, sliding down to "Blur" and sliding over and down to "Gaussian Blur".
