Question

P: New AI-powered Lens Blur (Early Access) available across all surfaces.

This post applies to Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic & the Lightroom Ecosystem products.

The Lightroom team is sharing an early look for AI-powered Lens Blur–giving you the ability to apply optical blur on any image regardless of how it was taken. Lens Blur is now available to try on all Lightroom surfaces.
 
How does Lens Blur work?
  • Lens blur applies a depth-based blur effect, similar to what can be achieved with real-world optical lenses, by using AI-generated or device-captured depth data (when available).
  • Lens blur will automatically prioritize focus for the detected subject, but you can also interactively adjust the focus distance. Precise focus range tuning is also available (currently desktop only: Lightroom Desktop, Lightroom Classic, and Camera Raw).
  • You can also further customize the Bokeh shapes, highlight Boost (desktop only), and make depth map refinements (desktop only).
 
Will my Lens Blur adjustments on one surface be synced to other surfaces? I.e. mobile to web to desktop, and vice versa?
  • Yes, all edits will sync. To revert settings, you can go back to previous versions or history steps, or un-apply Lens Blur settings.
 
Can I add Lens Blur settings to my presets?
  • No, presets and copy + paste workflows are not currently enabled for Lens Blur during Early Access.
 
For more information, please check out Lens Blur. 
 
Please give it a try and share feedback in this thread as we continually improve this feature.

I want to apply this to the video. I divided the video into frames and applied it by dividing it into actions, but I saw the desperate result that the DoF from the first chapter applies the same to the rest of the frames.
Track predetermined objects for two or more images
Or it would be very useful if there was a mode that applied collectively with a predetermined high depth and intensity.

I definately found the tool useful to add depth, but what I lack is the the ability to match the noise to the subject.

If the background goes super fine and the subject has noise, its am imbalanced image. 

So where i want to retain the graininess of the image, i find that the blur lacks an option to add / retain the noise

 

thanks

Have you tried a background mask to add grain?

If this filter option could be added to masking it would be super. I find the AI doesn't select as well as the select people or objects selection in masks. If it did it would be a winner!

Very cool feature.  I have only played with it briefly, but I can see uses for it.  Will be happy when it is a full feature.

Is there a correction brush to correct the automatic subject detection? Its a great tool, but in many cases i needed to add parts of my subjects edge (typically things like small shapes on the head - flowers on a hat etc.) but coud not do so.

It woud be good to have option to refine the subject mask. For my example, all worked well, exept the subjet had doog on the leash and just the area between the leash and leg was not rendered right...
