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.

Worked very well with little or no hair issues BUT had couple in a pickup truck and the selection was excellent except for where the back of the bed intersected with her shirt.. bed was fuzzed out in an arc along her shirt and unsalvageable.. so far so good but be careful

Works good. Maybe an edge refine to soften the subject/background. And an "add to" "subtract from" for the mask.

Should be able to selectively apply Lens Blur using selection tools

As others have said, subject detection sometimes misses part of subject (ear on left) or includes part of background with subject (on right). Note: this is an imported iPhone photo from Lr Mobile but Portrait Mode was not used in the original.

Trees in background take on very unnatural appearance above blur level of 15 or so

It seems a little gimmicky right now. I see the potential for sure, but it looked cut out on the images I tried. It also scares me to an extent. I said 10 years ago we're approaching the point where you'll point and shoot a camera, it'll take a bunch of pics in a flash, then you'll go home and choose the aperture and shutter speed. It's probably around the corner. I believe it's taking some of the field art out of the craft.

For Photoshop users, instead of putting this inside Adobe Camera Raw, why not add it to the Photoshop Neural Filters panel ? This would allow us to place the correction on its own layer (current layer, smart filter, etc.) which would open the door to the many creative options which come with Photoshop layers which are too numerous to mention.

Seriously? Are we supposed to guess the error and the circumstances that trigger it?


Bonjour aussi,

Effectivement cela n'est pas suffisant pour solutionner le problème. Ne sachant pas s'il existe des fichiers log ou autres à transmettre j'ai écrit pour un premier contact.

Cordialement
