AI Photo Editing Prompt
PromptEdit the uploaded photograph by adding a shallow depth-of-field effect that blurs the background into a soft, creamy bokeh. Keep the main subject fully sharp and in focus with crisp edges, especially around hair and fine details, and create a natural gradual falloff between the sharp subject and the blurred background. Add gentle, realistic circular bokeh highlights where light sources exist in the background. Preserve the original composition, colors and lighting. Avoid artificial halos or a cut-out look. The final image should resemble a photo taken with a fast portrait lens at a wide aperture, aspect ratio 3:4
