You can also tap the background to bring it into focus and blur out the foreground subject for some sort of crazy reverse portrait. A white circle appears to help you find the right spot. Simply open the pic in Preview, select the area you wish to blur out then go to the menu bar > Edit > Delete and the selected part will be. If you find that the edges between the foreground subject of your portrait and the blurred background aren't quite right, you can tap on the photo to adjust the focus point. Move the Depth slider to the right to increase the blur effect and to the left to decrease it. It sits below the usual sliders for Light and Color. You'll see a belt of filters (including the new Color Pop filter, which I'll get to in a minute), but you'll need to tap the edit button again to get to the Depth slider. To adjust the background blur, open a portrait mode photo in Google Photos and tap the edit button. You can also change the focus point and use the new Color Pop filter for portrait mode photos that keep the foreground subject in color while desaturating the background for dramatic effect.

And now you don't need to upgrade to Apple's latest crop of iPhones to get this depth editing, thanks to a recent update to Google Photos. It's certainly a handy feature and gives you much greater control of photos taken in portrait mode. These new iPhone models let you edit portrait mode photos to increase or decrease the background blur effect - aka bokeh - to your liking. One of the big selling points of the iPhone XS, XS Max and iPhone XR is the ability to edit the depth effect in portrait mode photos.
