What does the Object Blur effect change?

Object Blur confines softening to the intended semantic or depth region, keeping protected subjects and boundaries clearer than a uniform whole-frame blur. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Object Blur?

Choose Object Blur for motion-led poster graphics, miniature and tilt-shift scenes, or portraits with distracting backgrounds when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains soft source files, intricate boundary detail, or text-heavy images where additional blur would reduce readability.
