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

Feature is working well. Suggest adding mask/edge control: feather/add/subtract with brush etc. as per Camera Raw Masing function. Also for masking: Shift Edge plus/minus would be helpful. 

For multiple subjects/objects: "Add/Subtract subject/object" with sticky lasso, etc.

Quality masking is the key to Bokeh FX in Post.

It might have been said already, but I would like to see a custom feather.  This is especially true for blur in front of the subject

Good on wide Boken areas, but I notice some artifacts in the finer details around the edges of my subject...  In this first image I used a very low percentage of blur, and selected the Boken that gave the best results.  I also had the depth slider all the way to the left, but I could not correct the bluring on the crest of the bird.  The second picture is the source image (exported as a .jpg) without using the blur.  The image was shot in raw.

I found it to be very good, very resource heavy at some points. Ryzen 9 5950X 16 Core. 64GB RAM.  RX 6900x 16GB
I found it to be very resource heavy when going back to a Mask to edit it.

Yikes.

Running under Windows 11 with all updates applied. i9, RTX4090 with 32GB RAM. Clicking on Blur or Focus doesn't always do anything. The spinning wheel shows for a few seconds, but then when you run the selection over the image, nothing happens. Swithing blur off and back on again, or flipping between blur and focus doesn't do anything. The only way I have found to resolve this is to shutdown LRC and to restart it again

For my bird photography, I find that when my image includes a bunch of branches, the lens blur tool doesn't cover all the spaces in between the branches - only larger areas - so the blur is inconsistent/patchy. If that could somehow be remedied, it would be a perfect tool for me! Still love playing with it for images without busy branches. Thanks!

It is a great tool that is easy to use and helps my DOF on the subject.

I like this feature, but if there were a tool to edit what is/isn't being blurred, it would make it even better

Exelente ferramenta , a adobe cada vez surpreendendo.

The blur worked pretty well. The graphics were not very clear as to what they were supposed to do so it was trial and error on the various modes and then a whanging exercise with the slider as to what was wanted. So it does not seem to have a way of setting an objective process. More explanation would of course help. In my picture the subject was well defined and now stands out from a blurred background. It needed to recede and be blurred while retaining its general contextual effect. I would also have liked to be able to smooth the brights and darks so that the brighter areas were less distracting. In practice this will need to be done back in PS with layers and masks.
