You know that lovely, soft blur you sometimes see in the background of photos? That’s called bokeh. It’s all about the aesthetic quality of those out-of-focus elements, giving images a beautiful, almost dreamlike feel. The term “bokeh” is actually derived from the Japanese word “boke,” meaning “blur” or “haze.
Expensive camera gear and specialized lenses are common ways photographers achieve bokeh through settings like a wide aperture. However, these Photoshop actions offer a great shortcut, making it easy to add that dreamy blur without needing high-end equipment.
Think of these actions as pre-configured settings that instantly apply the bokeh effect to your photos. They’re simple to use, and you can fine-tune both how strong the blur is and its visual characteristics, allowing for a wide range of creative outcomes.
