selective unsharpening?

Isn´t possible to get out of focus some selective areas of a photo?

If add a gradient mask in a new layer, sharpening amount is 0, and I can only add...

    Try using negative Clarity to soften the focus.

    Clarity has small effect... but thanks for your support

    Add more than one Clarity Adjustment layer.

    Consider what you might be able to achieve with the noise reduction tool as well - combined with negative clarity if necessary.

    If you are working with portraits and skin tones there may be relevant tools in the Colour Editor - Skin Tones section.

    If you need more than any of these provide you are probably really looking for some effect that is beyond the current scope of a RAW converter as conceived by Phase at this time. You would need something based on a graphics editing tool to make your task simpler by offering a wider set of image manipulation tools.


    HTH.

    Depending on the radius, you can also use negative structure.

    There is no difference after one or more than one clarity or structure layer...

    What I want to do is unsharp a distracting object in background... I can´t did it when the photo was taken, I had just time to point and shot.

    Is not so much as I like, but combined clarity, noise reduction, structure and desaturating a litttle, the result is better than before.

    THANKS again for your help

    It's a job for a pixel editor like PhotoShop.

    One thing to consider is that any sharpening or perhaps Clarity adjustments applied to the whole image would make it more challenging to then unsharpen other parts of it.

    The C1 approach tends towards subtle adjustments that merge well together rather than strong effects.

    If you have have some strong settings to apply at the "Background layer" but for only part of the image it may be worth considering making those adjustments using a selective layer as well in order to avoid both adding and subtracting quite large relative adjustments in the same area of the image.

    However if the requirement is for some rather strong changes applications that are intended to offer extended image manipulation across a range of graphic sources may well offer much stronger adjustments as part of their toolkits along with some specialised approaches to performing them.

    Perhaps a workaround: Since the sharpening via Local Adjustments allows only positive values (so some aditional sharpening) you might test an inverted approach for the general sharpening of the image by using here different (lower) values, a different radius and then doing the "sharpness recovery" for the main subject via local adjustment (the positive sharpening values).

    Edit: Tested it and probably the BG softening doesn't reach the levels you're after.

    You can try the healing adjustment.
