How to blur a desk behind a signature photo
1. Start with a signature card photographed on a busy desk
Choose a sharp image, keep the full mark in frame, and leave a little breathing room around the subject.
2. Check the edge against the paper
Compare the original with the result on contrasting backgrounds. Control the blur so the paper context stays believable. Use the small erase and restore controls for the last pixels.
3. Export a softer photo with the handwriting in focus
Choose a JPG or PNG preview, keep the proportions, and place a copy in the intended document.

Save softer photo with the handwriting in focus for portfolio scans
Export a softer photo with the handwriting in focus in a JPG or PNG preview. Keep the original beside the cleaned copy so you can revisit a difficult edge or resize the mark without starting from memory.
