Faking Bokeh in Photoshop
You will need a Photoshop software and follow the steps below:
1) Open an image and duplicate the layer you want to apply the effect to (shortcut is Ctr/cmd J).
2) Blur this layer by using Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur or Lens Blur.
3) Mask the blurred layer: Layer > Layer Mask > Hide All (or alt/opt click the layer mask icon in the Layers Palette).
4) With your mouse click the layer mask you created in the Layers Palette to make sure it's activated (it will have double edged corners).
5) Switch to the Brush Tool by picking it in the Toolbox or pressing the letter B on your keyboard.
6) Press the letter D on your keyboard to set white as your foreground color.
7) Now you're ready to paint in the blurred effect with your mouse in the image window. These are some handy shortcuts for controlling the brush tool:
a. The square bracket keys [ ] increase and decrease the size of the brush.
b. Shift + the square bracket keys increase and decrease the softness of the brush's edges.
c. Typing in numbers changes the opacity (strength) of the brush (i.e., typing 30 changes the brush's opacity to 30%)
