Enhancement Request | Bokeh / Background Soften

Just trying to be helpful and offer a suggestion. Sorry it doesn’t help you.

Yes, of course, sorry.

But I want to slowly leave all the old stuff behind me, I want to have solutions and not spend the whole day dealing with individual images.

That already exists in Lightroom Classic (and I’m sure other programs too). It’s called “Lens Blur” and even has its own tab in the Develop module.

You guys are really exhausting.

It’s about sharpening, not blurring.

I want to select the place of sharpness when the autofocus fails, not the place of blur when the image is already blurry.

He is sharp but she is unsharp, i want to solve it with a dept map instead of a mask.

You could “sharpen” your image in Topaz, and then use Lightroom’s tool to move the focus just a tad in in front of the “over-sharpened” front person. Before you poopoo the Adobe tool, have you used it?

I dont use Lightroom.

Of course it would work in a similar way, but a sharpening tool that works differently from all the others would also be interesting.

I sent an email to topaz a few monthes ago to suggest to add an option to “defocus” the background. Should not be so complicated. Still waiting tfor that feature to upgrade to a new version…I think we are a lot waiting for that feature !
