This actually works really well, thanks for the run through! I have 1.4 prime lenses but I also own a micro 4/3 setup and the lens blur especially with zoom lenses is lacking sometimes. This tool changes things I'm shocked how precise it is 90% of the times. What I think also helps is to select the background (with the new subject select tool) and apply a 20-40 noise reduction just to get that smoother bokeh if you have a noisier image.
I’m a sports photographer, and currently when taking Sports pictures I usually opt for a safer aperture of say 5.6 when using a long lens instead of opening up to 2.8, but I’d really prefer the bokeh an aperture of 2.8 gives. What this tool will allow me to do is to shoot safe at 5.6/6.3 and quickly and easily add the blur effect that I want.
Yes I could do it in Photoshop but it’s quite time consuming to do it right. Quite simply I think this is brilliant.
Thanks for sharing! 🤗
Greatest tutorial ever!
Another great tutorial.
another excellent video. Thanks !
Thanks for using real world samples and pointing out the challenges. Easy samples are great for 1 minute intros, but we photograph in a complicated world. Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks!
I started phlearning Photoshop from this dude back in 2015.. nice to have this video pop up on my feed
thanks for watching and being part of the phamily!
For the hair part of the 2nd example, I would bring it back to PS and outline where I want to new hair to be, and then do generative fill with by using the word (HAIR). Works quite well!
thanks for sharing your idea with us! 🤗
i have used Lens Blur several times and its brilliant....
we love it!!!
Basically a combination of the portrait mode that iPhones have been using for a long time combined with masking tools of both Photoshop and all Lightroom. Interesting alternative for photographers with lenses that are not top of the line heavy and very expensive lenses or that had to shoot with more depth of field for the subject but want to blur more the background...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback with us!
still gonna gett better blur with a large Aperture
Too Good Info...
Well, it looks really promising, but great expensive heavy lenses with full-frame body still are the best. Thanks Aron🙂
We agree that high-quality lenses and full-frame cameras are still the best for shallow depth of field,. The new Lens Blur tool in Lightroom is a great option for those who want to create blur effects without the expense and bulk. It's still under development, but it's already come a long way. 🤗
This method works well for the poor photographer like me 🙂
Magic
I did not know that this was available . PROBLEM : In my images the fur or hair (fine detail) is quite noticeable. I also noticed it in your images. IS THERE EASIER WAY TO FIX THAT??
How to I apply it to multiple photos😢😢
would be awesome if it allowed you to create a custom mask (perhaps photoshop) and then import it into LR. being able to utilize a good mask will give you better results in the end.
excellent video/ My model blurs as well as the background. Any advice please?
Hey there! For a cleaner result, consider refining the selection mask to fully exclude your model.
I have spent 5 hours with Adobe trying to fix my problem, using remote access, with no joy. Then, over and hour one the phone with a Senior Technician. All that to be told, in the end, that my Graphics Processor is not powerful enough :( @@phlearn
Would really really love to use it....IF it worked in windows, understand apple is fine, think adobe really need to address this. Amish also said the same in his last video having to use a mac not a windows PC. Colin Devon UK. Content of video was superb, just can't use it....
this is awesome now i dont have to buy fast lens
Camera manufacturers need to add it in camera !
Then who would buy the fancy f1.4 and f1.2 monster lenses again 😂
Try 32bit images, the bokeh will be closer to reality, especially in night lights👍🏻
apps like photoroom cut the subject way more easily and accuretly too
Im on CC says my light rooms up to date ( TBH I never use it cos it just doesn't do much ) but it looks nothing LIKE yours...so I cant follow along...
Hi Clementine! if you send us an email to support our team will do their best to guide you. 🤗
عزيزي انا لا اعرف شيئ في الفوتوشوب ولاكن لدي طموح هل تستطيع ان ترشدني اين ابداء في قناتك من فضلك
Hey there! we would suggest starting with the 30 Days of Photoshop series:

@@phlearn You are my best friend. Thank you with all my heart for your help
This will probably get overused by new photographers like HDR did back in the day, and every photo will look like it was shot at f/1.0 lol.
But what this means is you don't necessarily need full frame or super fast lenses to get nice separation.
If you shoot say landscapes, travel or architecture and you only own f/4 lenses, but you want to take the occasional portrait sometimes, this can help.
You can get quite nice separation already with an APSC at f/4, and with some background blur already in the picture, you can add just slightly more with this tool and it will look natural.
Nice for thumbnail-size photos. Looks cheap for anything else.
Hi Aaron, it doesn't work at all with windows.......
Hi Colin! Sorry to hear you're having trouble using this tool. The Lens Blur tool in Lightroom Classic is currently available as an early access feature for both PC and Mac. However, we are aware that some users have reported that the tool is not working on their PC. Most likely Adobe is working on fixing these bugs and hopefully you'll be able to use it soon!
Thank you for your reply Aaron much appreciated. Colin...
