Changing the Opacity of this blurred-duplicated layer will result to something like this:

After that, go to Filter > Blur > Lens Blur and input the following:

Once you hit OK, change this layer's Fill to 55% (Note: This is still the same layer that we've used the Magnetic Lasso Tool on, duplicated and Gaussian Blurred)

Now, the result of that would be like this:

Take note of that very obvious blur. Does it look nice? I don't think so, so what do we do? We erase it. Activate your Eraser tool (E) and then set the following:

  • Brush size: 250px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 100%
  • Flow: 100%

Erase the area shown below (make sure you select the duplicated layer before proceeding or else you'll be erasing the original layer).

The result:

Step 3: Add dramatic light to the Background

In this step, we will be using the Brush tool (B) to create light and darkness on our background.

To start, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) above the "Background copy" layer (To do that, simply click on the "Background copy" layer and then press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N and a new layer will be automatically be on top of the selected layer).

Now that you have a new layer, rename this layer to "Light 1".

Activate the Brush tool (B) but before we start, make sure that the active Brushes are the default brushes. The default Photoshop brushes are shown on the image below, if that's not what you see, then follow the instructions below:

Right click the canvas while a layer is selected and while the Brush tool (B) is activated and then click on the button highlighted below:

Then click on "Reset Brushes" from the contextual menu.

Now, that that is done input the following settings for our Brush tool (B):

  • Brush size: 1100px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 25%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: ffffff

Note: The "#" means the color of the brush.ffffff is the color white, but to make sure that you will be using that brush color follow the steps below:

After clicking the Foreground tool, the Color Picker box would open. Once open, input the following on the # space:

  • #: ffffff

Now, let's start painting in the light:

The result:

Next, create a new layer again (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name it "Light 2".

Activate the Brush tool (B) next and input the following:
