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 bokeh effects generated with a real camera lens.
This filter can be applied as a non-destructive, live filter.
The following settings can be adjusted on the vertical sliders:
Radius—controls the number of pixels affected.
Threshold—threshold for bokeh bloom.
Curvature—sets how round the iris shape becomes.
Colour—controls the saturation of the bokeh bloom.The following settings can be adjusted on the context toolbar:
Split—enables the Before and After view. When toggled, it presents filter application side by side.
Apply—applies changes made.
Cancel—cancels changes made.
