masking the subject causes undesired halo effect
I have a person standing with a background that I want to blur to eliminate recognizable features such as people signs etc…
I masked the person on a new layer, applied a gaussian blur to the previous layer…. because the background layer has the person in it – they too get blurred and cause a ghosting or halo effect around the masked person.
My solution. Clone the background areas to cause the the person on the blurred background to shrink so to speak…. is there a better way?
Thanks for any insights you might have.

If cloning doesn’t work you could also try eliminating the background person with content aware fill/delete. Making the person slightly larger might also work.

thanks for your response.
my solution is as follow.
mask the subject that I want to keep in focus.
invert the mask.
turn the mask off.create a lens blur on the image (not the mask)
assign source: layer mask.modify controls to my liking.
render.viola.
works great.
