This little app packs a lot of punch.<\/p>\n<p>Tadaa offers background blur for any subject. Blurring is done by painting on the subject with your finger. You can later modify the strength and quality of the blur.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I&#8217;ve begun to paint the subject in the photo below.

For instance, you can use the linear blur effect to create <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/tilt-shift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stunning tilt-shift photos<\/a>. This creates a single line of focus that runs through the photo.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve applied a linear blur to the photo below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76869 aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/20286\/1120\/blur-background-app-135.jpg\" alt=\"Blur background app 135\" width=\"320\" height=\"569\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is a downside to Tadaa.<\/p>\n<p>The app is complex.<\/p>\n<p>The interface isn\u2019t intuitive and the tools aren\u2019t easy to use.
