English term or phrase: murky sea of out-of-focus oblivion
Photoshop or Elements, can, however, come to the rescue and drop a distracting background into a murky sea of out-of-focus oblivion. A careful selection to isolate the subject from the background and the application of either..... usually does the trick.

Gracias de antemano.

(relegar/aplacar)... a un segundo plano borroso


Explanation:
Me parece que quiere dar a entender que Photoshop puede "eliminar" la distracción del fondo, creando algo "que no se percibe nítidamente", que quede visualmente relegado a un segundo plano (y por tanto, olvidado)...

(eliminar/relegar al olvido)... un mar turbio/sucio y fuera de foco


Explanation:
Creo que no está de más recordar que el término en la jerga fotográfica es "fuera de foco". Espero que ayude.

Para mayor precisión:
Photoshop y Elements pueden rescatar la imagen y relegar el fondo hasta convertirlo (convertir el fondo) en un mar turbio y fuera de foco que pase inadvertido,
