In Adobe Photoshop, the blur option that allows users to create the effect of making an image appear softer and further away is called "Gaussian Blur." This filter softens the image by averaging the pixels next to the hard edges, creating a smoother transition between colors.
To use Gaussian Blur:
- Select the layer you want to apply the blur to.
- Go to the top menu and select Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur.
- Adjust the Radius slider to control the amount of blur. A higher radius will create a more pronounced blur effect.
For simulating depth, you might also consider using the "Field Blur" or "Lens Blur" options, which give more control over which areas are in focus and how the blur transitions across the image.
