Combine with the background enhancer if the background is cluttered as well as sharp.

Common questions

What does the Bokeh Effect tool do?

Adds the shallow depth of field of a portrait lens, with believable falloff rather than a uniform blur, so the subject separates from the background.

Any tips for getting a good result from Bokeh Effect?

Combine with the background enhancer if the background is cluttered as well as sharp.

Does the lighting match the new background?

Yes. The model relights the subject to agree with the new scene — key direction, colour temperature and shadow falloff all follow the background rather than the original shot.

Will my clothes and hair be affected?

Background edits are scoped to everything behind the subject. Clothing, hair strands and accessories are preserved, including fine details like flyaway hair against the old background.

Which background should I pick for LinkedIn?

A neutral grey or soft office blur reads as professional without dating the photo. Pure white suits a company directory; a bright colour suits a personal brand or speaking page.
