How do I invert the lens blur effect

I have a very crisp photo of a long narrow room, taken at an angle with the far corner in the centre of the image with a very narrow aperture.

I want to use it as a back drop for a green screen video where the speaker is sharp, centre of the image.

That means I need the sides slightly in focus, but the centre blurred because it is much farther away.

Every tutorial is about getting the centre in focus, and the sides blurry. I need the opposite.

What’s the way I do this?

    Try the Lens Blur filter with a depth map

    To do that :

    Add a layer mask revealing the areas you want to blur - remember a layer mask can be a gradient not just black or white

    Go to Filter > Lens Blur

    In depth map select  "layer mask"

    Adjust the blur

    Hit OK

    Disable the layer mask
