As many of you have already discovered, Photoshop has the ability to add a number of different types of blurs to an image. However, in previous versions, it was always a challenge to add noise back into the blurred area in order to create a more realistic effect. Now, when selecting any of the Blur Gallery filters, you have the option to add uniform, Gaussian, or grain noise back into the blurred areas. I'll choose to add grain to this image, then increase the amount to match the level of noise, decrease the grain size, add a bit of roughness, and reduce the noise in the highlights to better match the original. Toggling the noise option off and on demonstrates how adding noise creates much more realistic blurs. And that's just one of the incredibly useful features in Creative Cloud 2015.
