Cada vez que intento usar la función de desenfoque, aparece una ventana emergente que señala que Algo salió mal. No la he podido usar

Please share your system info via Lightroom>Help>System Info... Try to update to the latest macOS version or if you are on a Windows machine, follow https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-gpu.html to update your machine to the latest GPU driver and see if the problem resolves itself.

If the OS or the driver is not available or possible and the problem persists, then try the following workaround method as a last resort. The method provides a mechanism to allow LrDesktop/LrClassic/ACR customers to force the ML inference to always run on CPU instead of default. See details here https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/acr-gpu-faq.html#lens-blur

der este Eindruck ist positiv, die Tiefen Unschärfe erscheint natürlich,

beim einzoomen in das Foto werden aber unsaubere Ränder sichtbar! beim nacharbeiten mit den 'Fokus' und 'Unschärfe' Pinseln wird die Arbeit aber immer langsammer ! je mehr ich nacharbeite desto mehr! nach jedem Maus Klick erscheint für mehrere Sekunden ein blackscrenn (manchmal auch ein weithscreen) ! die Ausarbeitung dauert sehr lange, ich kann nicht erkennen ob das Programm noch arbeitet! teilweise dauert das auszoomen von 100% in die Gesammtansicht mehrere Minuten!!!

The first impression is positive, the deep blur appears natural,

However, when I zoom in on the photo, dirty edges become visible! When I rework with the 'Focus' and 'Blur' brushes, the work gets slower and slower! the more I rework the more! After every mouse click, a black screen (sometimes also a wide screen) appears for several seconds! The development takes a very long time, I can't recognize whether the program is still working! Sometimes zooming out from 100% to the overall view takes several minutes!!!

ich habe meine Raw Datei kopiert und diese in Camera Raw in in der gleichen weise Entwickelt wie zuvor in Lightroom Classic!
Das automatisch erzeugte Ergebnis sieht bei beiden Apps identisch aus!
Die Nachbearbeitung mit CR ging aber viel flüssiger und schneller und ohne längere Wartezeiten von statten!
Keinen Sekunden langen Black- oder White Screens!
Die Entwicklungszeit in CR hat etwa ein viertel der Zeit in Anspruch genommen als in LR !!
Wenn ich nun die LR bearbeitet Datei öffnen sehe ich als erstes wieder einen Black screen und weiter versuche der Bearbeitung produzieren beim jedem Mausklick zuerst wieder einen Black screen!
Ich hänge das mit CR bearbeitet Foto an!

Ich verstehe nicht wo die Unterschiede zwischen CR und LR liegen !!??

I copied my raw file and developed it in Camera Raw in the same way as before in Lightroom Classic!
The automatically generated result looks identical in both apps!
Post-processing with CR was much smoother and quicker and without long waiting times!
No black or white screens that last for seconds!
The development time in CR took about a quarter of the time than in LR!!
When I now open the LR edited file, the first thing I see is a black screen again and further attempts to edit produce a black screen again with every mouse click!
I'm attaching the CR edited photo!

I don't understand what the differences are between CR and LR!!??

Lens blur: This first test I performed seemed better than the Neural filter blur. Above all, I loved that it didn't blur the subject, although there is something white in the subject at the beginning if it has blurred it. The final result of this first time is very good, I have done it using 100% blur, perfect.

Buongiorno, ho appena iniziato ad utilizzare lo strumento sfuocato, ho notato che richiede molta CPU (io ho un I7 3.7GHZ e 32 Gb RAM) , a volte per piccole modifiche il sistema rallenta e la CPU va al 100% di utilizzo. Sicuramente su pc con meno hardware disponibile la situazione peggiora, questo aspetto è meglio ottimizzarlo.

Pois acho que é isso mesmo que tem acontecido com meu caso. Meu Lightroom anda muito lento não só no novo processo de desfoque de lente. Quando tento aplicar máscaras na fotografia, o sistema tenta encontrar pessoas e fica demasiadamente lento, chegando várias vezes a travar. Para sair do travamento só desligando por reset. Como podem criar novas ferramentas se os software e hardware de vários usuários ainda podem ter menos capacidade para as novas inclusões. Sou um usuário há anos do Adobe, com assinatura paga e vou ser obrigado a trocar o equipamento pq não consigo atuar nas novas opções? Não podem manter um processo que a máquina que você possui suporte?

The Bokeh filter is nice but if you use it for business portraits, where you have to exactly match the images, the filter doesn't work. Each image is handled separately, the result doesn't match between the images. One images has blown out lights in the background, the other one doesn't. Also you have to work on any image for itself, what is a serious waste of time. So in the end, I can't use it and have to go back to Luminar, to let it do the Bokeh.
I can't give you the sample images for DSGVO reasons.
