Today, taking Log in to see links is considered almost a sign of good taste. Although, did it start just now? A couple of years ago, when Google Camera was one of the first (if not the first) software blurring of the background, it became a small but noticeable impetus for the development of technology, so soon other camera programs were brought up with the same option. Photo processing algorithms were imperfect, and therefore the result did not always suit the users.

So the program blurs the background gradually forgotten. Last year, Log in to see links entered a new stage of development. Now hardware, not software. Dual cameras today are even on some devices of the middle or budget price segment. Alas, the quality of shooting "two-eyed" middling leaves much to be desired, and the flagship is not everyone can afford. And still want to shoot cool pictures! Therefore, we are looking for workarounds.


This is my favorite, because with it we begin. I want to immediately warn readers to effectively blur the background in Snapseed, you have to work, but this application gives the widest functionality and here the result will be the best. Let's try step by step to disassemble the process of creating a blurred background in any image.

Select a picture, click the "Edit" button (pencil in the lower right corner).

Going Filters Blur.

We select the desired filter shape (rectangle or circle), based on the fact that the background should be completely (this is important) to be blurred, the borders of the subject can also be slightly blurred, we will correct this at subsequent stages.

Save by clicking the check mark. The lazy user at this stage may stop, but we are not one of those, so we go on.

Select the edit history (middle button in the upper right corner).

Click “View Changes”.

At the stage “Blur” click on the arrow, and in the appeared window “change” (central button).The most difficult and interesting stage. We create a mask, gradually highlighting what needs to be blurred (or left clear, this is more convenient). At the same time, we change the intensity of the blur, it is indicated as a percentage under the photo in the center.

By changing the filter intensity you can achieve the most realistic result. For example, in the case of a pony, the croup of an animal, we brush with 25% to convey the distance; we will walk the same brush on the grass near the muzzle to avoid a sharp border.
