Device: Samsung Galaxy A25 5G

App: Adobe Lightroom Mobile (latest version downloaded from the Google Play Store)

Subscription: Adobe Lightroom Premium

Issue: Lens Blur opens and works normally. I can adjust the blur amount, bokeh shape, and all other settings. The preview is displayed correctly.

However, when I adjust the Focus Range (depth range) and tap Apply, Lightroom always displays the following error:

"A refinement error occurred. Please try again."

The effect is visible in the preview, but it cannot be applied because the refinement process fails.

I have already reinstalled the application, and the issue persists.

My suggestion would be to start by posting some screenshots, so we can actually see what you are doing and what the result is.

My blur refinement tool doesn’t work at all. The blur tool makes all the fur on my wildlife photos and the bird beaks blur into the backgrounds. I adjust the depth and the amount of blur, but it doesn’t help, so I just skip the blur tool altogether. Any suggestions?
