Smudge parts of an image in Photoshop
To blur or blur a specific part of the photo, what we must do is select this part. For this, we use the selection tool: rectangular or elliptical. This will depend on the shape of the area you want to blend. You could even use the lasso tool.
After having the selected area, you must go to Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur (Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur). In the same way, you specify the blur radius and OK. As simple as that!
If what you want is to keep an area of the image sharp and blur the background, surely what you are looking for is a radial blur. You can follow our tutorial to blur the background with a part of the sharp image to create this effect.
