How to blur backgrounds

This is a tutorial on how to blur out a background. I think it makes portraits look a little better, but it can also help for any other photo in which you want to blur a certain section of it. You use the select and mask tool to select everything you want to stay in focus. Using a copy of the background you then use the lens blur and adjust accordingly.
