Sure it can be a useful tool. The difference between us is that if I
need to use it I have no one to blame but myself, if you have to use it
you can blame your camera.

Nothing of the sort. You're beating a dead horse.

So tell me this how long does it take you to blur the background on a
portrait?

Depends on the quality of the image and how good it is, but usually less
than an hour, including whatever other manipulations I might make.


Ok, I have done background blurring in the past and it took me a fair
bit of time as well,it just seems to be that if I can spend 5 more
seonds and get a shot with the background already blurred it is going
to same me a lot of time.
