Lens blur

[default4fu2r2g79h6q]

I took a picture of a woodpecker today, and tried to blur out the background using the Lens Blur feature. Almost all went well, but the feet of the bird was blured as well, but should not be blured.

The masking is not always perfect. That is why you can manually paint in blur or erase blur.

Two ways to fix that…

Short term:

Click the Focus button so you can paint to add regions that should be in focus.

Long term:

Lens Blur is labeled Early Access because they don’t consider it “final” and are still working on making it work right. You should tell them about this kind of problem by clicking “Click here to share feedback on Lens Blur” at the bottom of the panel. You want to tell them that their depth estimation model is not working properly with those bird legs. Clicking that link leads to a specific discussion about this Early Access feature, so you will get a much more direct line to the engineers working on it. Hopefully, getting feedback will help them get this right by the time they remove the “Early Access” label.
