In photoshop goto the filter in the toolbar and then choose the blur option. In order to blur the image, select the part of the image and then choose different blur options.

Make use of layers. Using the lasso tool, select parts of the image you don't want blurred then put that on its own layer. Make sure that layer is on top. Then select the previous layer and use a blur filter.
