Lens Blur

The Lens Blur filter mimics the blur applied to a photo when a wide aperture is used to achieve a narrow depth of field. It can be used to improve the composition of a photo by applying a shallow depth of field to blur unwanted background. Unlike the Gaussian Blur filter, the Lens Blur filter recreates the the bokeh effects generated with a real camera lens.
