Questions about AI Image Background Blur
How do I ask for light background blur?
Use a phrase such as “soften the distant trees slightly” and identify what should stay crisp in the foreground.
Which photos work best?
Start with an easy-to-see foreground outline and some distance behind the subject.
Can the blur affect the subject?
It can extend onto fine edges in the regenerated image. Examine glasses, hair and bicycle spokes at full size.
How do I avoid a blur halo around the subject?
Use a photo with a clear gap between the subject and the background. Name any boundaries that matter, such as glasses or bicycle spokes, and ask for moderate blur. Enlarge the outline to check where foreground and background meet.
