I have a single portrait photo that needs two edits in Photoshop. First, please move the female's left arm so it sits naturally against the body rather than on the male —no warping of nearby details or unnatural joints. After that, apply a moderate depth-of-field style blur to the background only, keeping the subject sharp. Please work non-destructively: use separate, clearly named layers or a Smart Object workflow so I can tweak the result later if needed. Deliver a layered PSD plus a high-resolution flattened JPG once the adjustments look seamless at 100 % zoom. Need the JPEG photo to be printable.

Hi We’ll fix the unnatural left-arm placement by rebuilding the area with a clean cutout and transform-based alignment, keeping joints natural and avoiding warping of nearby details. We have spent the last 10 years solving exactly this type of portrait retouch and background-depth problem. Next, we’ll apply a moderate depth-of-field blur only to the background using a non-destructive workflow (Smart Object or grouped masks) so the subject stays razor sharp at 100% zoom. We’ll deliver a layered PSD with clearly named layers/workflow, plus a high-resolution flattened, print-ready JPG once it looks seamless. Best regards, Zeeshan

Hi Fix the left arm placement so it sits naturally against the body, then blur the background only while keeping the subject sharp. I’ve spent the last 4 years solving exactly this type of Photoshop edit. I’ll (1) separate the subject elements into non-destructive layers using masks, Liquify/Transform only where needed, and rebuild any overlapping edges so joints look natural; (2) create a Smart Object for the photo and apply a depth-of-field effect to the background using selective masking or lens blur, preserving hair and clothing detail at 100% zoom. You’ll receive a layered PSD with clearly named layers/Smart Objects plus a high-resolution, printable flattened JPG after visual QA. Best regards, iqra
