One of the novelties that has reached our Android devices in recent days is the “universal portrait” from Google Photos. For more than two years, we could blur the background of any portrait, that is, any photo in which a person appears in the foreground, but now this requirement is not no longer necessary.
Google has extended the tool to blur the background or foreground of the photograph
Blur any photo with Google Photos
If we want to blur an image through Google Photos, we must open the image and click on Edit to display its entire options menu. In category Tools we will find the desired option under the name of fall out
This tool allows us change direction tapping on the photo to tell Google Photos which elements we want in focus and which not to be in focus. This allows us to blur backgrounds or an unwanted foreground.
Once the focus is established, all we have to do is play with blur and depth levels. With the Blur option we adjust the degree of blur we want the background to be and with the Depth option we adjust from what distance we want the blur to start applying.
For photos that weren’t taken with the camera’s portrait mode, Google Photos will pull your artificial intelligence to virtually calculate the planes and distances of the images to offer more than acceptable results for most photos, thus allowing us to give our photos a more artistic and professional touch.
