#TOPAZ CLEAN FUR AND FEATHER MANUAL#
More manual masking is needed to clean it up and remove some of the blur from the foreground. The feathered mask added blur to her sweater, which did not look right. It should be softer and blurred because it is not on the same focal plane as her eye. In this example, after adding a simple Center-shaped mask, the background over my subject’s left shoulder is still crisp. The Lens Blur filter does not have evaluate a photo for subjects and their relative depth. Then, shape and feather the mask to create a smooth blend from sharp to blurred. That’s where you want the photo to be sharpest. Position the center of the mask over your subject’s eye. The Center shaped gradient Masking Bug works well with portraits. The various Bokeh styles work well with portraits - just be prepared to do some masking. Brightness adjusts the exposure of the photo, Contrast adds contrast, and Noise adds grain to the image. The other sliders, Brightness, Contrast, and Noise adjust the entire image and do exactly what you’d expect they do. Blooming is the most specific to Lens Blur, adjusting the brightness of the bokeh. Raising Curvature rounds the individual sides of the bokeh, given you complete control over stylized bokeh shapes or smooth bokeh balls.Īt the bottom are four other sliders. A value of 3 makes a triangle, 4 makes a diamond, 5 makes a pentagon, and so on. You’ll see the shape of the bokeh change. Lower the Curvature slider to 10 or less. Try this as an experiment to see how the two sliders work. In the Aperture section, the two controls, Sides and Curvature, control the shape of the bokeh. I don’t advocate using Opacity to control the blur strength because the results usually have artifacts or look smudgy. Like all filters in ON1 Effects, the Lens Blur filter has an overall Opacity slider (above the styles) that can lower the strength of the effect. At the top, the Amount slider controls the overall intensity of the blur and the Optic Quality slider adjusts the smoothness or coarseness of the blurred areas. The Lens Blur filter has three sections of sliders. The Bokeh styles do not apply a mask by default. Other styles like Soft Vignette include an oval-shaped mask. Styles like Tilt Shift and Sides use a reflected gradient to blur opposite edges of a photo. Many of the built-in styles add a mask automatically. It’s rare that you’d add a Lens Blur effect to your entire photo, so be prepared to use your masking tools with this filter. The tilt-shift style is also helpful for certain cityscape scenes. Lens Blur is useful for portrait work and food or product photography. This filter adds bokeh to a scene, including controls over the shape and number of sides the bokeh shapes have. The Lens Blur filter creates blurring effects that simulate a shallower depth of field.
