This comes from several requests that I’ve gotten in the last few months. Some of you will know what bokeh is, and some may not. But ALL of you have seen it at one point or another, as long as you look at photographs or watch movies. Check out the preview image below for a visual example.
Bokeh is a Japanese term used in photography. It is used to describe the qualities of the area of a photo that is out of focus, and is used to help draw your eye to the subject of the photograph. Some pretty cool things happen with bokeh, too, and that’s what these brushes will help you to create.
This set of Photoshop & GIMP brushes is composed of various bokeh designs. It comes with several brushes for painting your own bokeh, as well as some that are already put together into scattered groups like the ones you see in my preview image. Some are circles, some are polygons, some are more blurry than others. They are all high resolution, with an average size of about 2000 pixels.
Be sure to check out our Creating Faux Bokeh Backgrounds in Photoshop Tutorial.

I assume you’ll just turn down the opacity on the brush like in Photoshop. However, I’m not a GIMP user, so I’m not sure how, sorry!

Thank you for these wonderful bokeh brushes that I will use in layouts for my daughter in marriage. She is Japanese, and I’m trying to respect her heritage within my layouts that will also include my youngest set of grandchildren.

It’s not a button (though it will be soon!). It’s text that says “Download the brushes”.
