In this Photoshop tutorial, I show you how to create a soft, natural-looking bokeh background using the original background of a bird photo. Instead of replacing the background, you’ll learn how to transform a busy, distracting scene into a smooth, out-of-focus backdrop that keeps the edit realistic.
This technique is perfect for bird and wildlife photography, where maintaining a natural look is essential. Step by step, I explain how to separate the subject, blur the background, and enhance depth while preserving colors and light from the original image.
✅ What you’ll learn:
🔵How to use the original background to create realistic bokeh
🔵Background separation techniques in Photoshop
🔵Creating depth and focus in bird photography edits
🔵Non-destructive workflow tips
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Photoshop user, this method will help you improve your wildlife photo edits quickly and naturally.
📷 Ideal for: bird photography, wildlife editing, nature photos
