Portrait Blur I've had my first client ever order prints from me with the request for them to be "fuzzy." How do I get just the right portrait blur (soft focus) in PhotoShop? What filter do I use? To what degree?

Gaussian blur ... under blur in the filter category. You could use diffuse glow for a different type of fuzziness.

You can purchase Photoshop actions that do portrait blur or soft focus, etc. Why go to all the work to do what someone has perfected already? Here is a link to a Web site that has some great actions like Porcelin skin, Glamour blur, etc. They're very reasonably priced, and they work great. I have used them myself as I won some of them in a contest ... and not just on portraits. They work great on all types of images. Craig also has actions for generating proofs, etc. Check them all out at - http://www.auraphotographics.com/Actions/actions.html

Adobe's community studio exchange on the Web offers other free actions for Photoshop submitted by members - like soft focus, glamour, etc. You might check there, since they are free.

u can try all thew answers above, but I would do a layer copy first, then make my adjustments in the top layer, you can adjust the opasity ( if thats spelled right) and if u screw up u can just delete the layer and start over
