TriumphFriend Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I am looking for an easy way to blur some little parts in a photo. My classic car photos have sometime people in the background. To garble the faces I want to blur these. Is there an easy way to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted August 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hi @TriumphFriend, The easiest way would be to duplicate your layer, Apply blur on the new layer created, and use a clipping mask to "mask" the areas you need. Thanks, Gabe. TriumphFriend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 For the future you can also use stacking to remove people from images by taking multiple shots.

Staff Gabe Posted August 13, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 13, 2018 Or, an even easier method would be to select a face or a region you want to blur, go to "Layer > New Live Filter > Blur ". You can then paint with black and white on that new mask to add or remove blurry areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Or even easier still, just select the Blur Brush Tool and blur those faces into oblivion. Assuming you never want to see (recover) them again then the job's done. TriumphFriend 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
