Digital Bokeh in Photoshop - Screencast by Photo GuidesListThumbs
Digital Bokeh in Photoshop - Screencast by Photo Guides
One of the most popular tutorials I've ever written was the one for the image I use on my Twitter profile, that is a digital Bokeh effect created in Photoshop.
I have already published a tutorial on how to create that in Photoshop and Pixelmator, but I still receive quite a few emails from people asking me how to do that. So Ash Davies from Photo Guides recorded a screencast showing how to create the effect.
In photography, bokeh is one of the most incredible implementations of Aperture. The shallow depth of field causes any light in the background to blur into a floating orb. Bokeh is derived from the Japanese word ‘Boke’ which means blur or haze. In the late 1990s though, when ‘boke’ photography was becoming popular, the word was changed to ‘bokeh’ to help us english speaking people say it properly.

How great is that? Very cool tutorial and design, this is one of the things I try to do. Thanks for the video :D
Really good tut, abducted ^^
Nice tutorial, but I think using lens blur instead of gaussian blur would give a more realistic result.
The brush preset'ing won't work in cs3..
nice tut!

Hey I was really hoping for a tutorial for the winter season, I know it can be corny decorating a site for winter (especially falling snowflakes), maybe a tutorial on sleek and intelligent looks to dress up your site for the holidays.
Awesome tuts

I did exactly the way the video showed me, but my brush came out too dark and I don't have that glow look on my stroke. I changed the circles to an Overlay and it was a little better but not like yours. Did I miss a step?
great video!
