Tips for a better Blur Effect

• Use the clearest file you have. Soft focus, tiny subjects, and heavy filters give the effect less to work with.
• Match the preview: if the sample is a close-up, crop in; if it is a wide scene, keep the surroundings.
• Compare your file with the preview on this page before you generate. Blur Effect follows that framing and that mood.
