A blurred background is the latest photography trend. The newest smartphones offer modes that allow users to automatically blur the background to draw attention to the subject or object. This feature is also available on digital cameras; all you have to do is set a large aperture. If you do not have portrait mode on your smartphone or do not own a digital camera, you can use Pixomatic’s Blur tool to add blur to your image instantly.
