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.

It does not work for me, it gives me an error.  "There was an unexpected error and your request could not be completed".  Darn 😞

Probablemente sea un problema con el controlador de la GPU. Siga la respuesta fijada en la parte superior.

I am excited about this new blur feature. I wish there was a paintbrush where you could manually adjust the mask.

Yes. There is one. Just expand the Refine collapsible widget in the lens blur UI to play with the focus/blur brush. Checkout Julieanne's nice tutorial video.

This feature is a great addition. 

 

I feel like it will benefit more from a simple explanation of what each tool is and how to be used

 

For example, the Focus option - is this for bringing blurry images back into focus or selecting the area of the picture that needs to be in focus. Same with the blur.

Loved it but it does take some extra work so I got stuck on the wheel of torture for a bit. Thank you for all your hard work. You are amazing! ❤️

Love it, but PLEASE add a Feather option.  The blur is incredible, but I can't use it often because the line around the subject is so hard that it make it look cut out and fake...

 

(sorry for the repost, but there was a typo in my previous comment that didn't make any sense)

Hi

A fantastic new tool that seems to work very well in most cases.

Now and again though after analysing the image some elements of the image in the near range are identified as far range and the effect is ruined as a result.

Will there be a way to modify select parts of the image and change the depth from the purple range to the orange or yellow range, or visa versa?

I.E. select the affected area and pull forwards or push back.

Many Thanks
