Good bokeh isn't a sure thing, even with the best lenses. Sometimes background
elements just don't blend well, even when the lens performance is optimal. I've
used almost a variety of tools to repair bokeh: cloning, selective blurring,
painting with semi-transparent layers, and gaussian blur. Gaussian blur works
well in many situations, because it is adjustable. But other repairs, such as
removing high contrast elements should precede the application of the blur.
