Blur Background in Photo

A sharp subject on a cluttered street or open office reads more professional when the rear plane is softened. Manual blur rectangles let you follow hair edges and shoulders without a segmentation AI that might miss wisps.

HideShot is ideal when you already have a JPG and only need a quick depth effect before a deck or thumbnail—not a full Lightroom session. Blur strength comes from how wide you draw over the background tiles.
