Is there a way in Photoshop or in LRC to soften the edges of objects? I know I could turn clarity to a negative value. Is there anything else?
Adobe software’s ability to select objects (since you framed it that way) of all sorts in recent versions should also be useful here. One of the most useful (which I usually use in ACR) lets you. “paint” over things that you want to select, after which it tries (usually successfully) to select the object from your loosely painted selection. You can continue doing that to add more objects to the selection before applying various modifications to the group.
Of course, there is one complexity here than hasn't been addressed. It is possible to extract a single object from an image (as long as it isn't too obscured by other elements, etc.) and blur that object, but how that blur interacts with other existing elements in the scene can be a bit problematic. If that doesn't make sense, try it and you'll probably find out...
