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.

Please give it a try and share feedback in this thread as we continually improve this feature.
