How to Create a Bokeh Effect in GIMP | GIMP Lighting Effects Tutorial

In this GIMP tutorial, I show you how to create an EXTREMELY realistic "famous" bokeh effect seen on celebrity Instagram accounts across the world! This effect essentially mimics the lens blur or focus blur created by your camera and lens (typically a wider lens will produce a shallow "depth-of-field" - which produces the bokeh effect). I also use the free G'MIC plugin to generate additional bokeh for those of you who want to add more atmosphere to your photo (i.e. add more lights or more depth to your image).
This is a great photo manipulation tutorial for beginners! GIMP is a free alternative to Photoshop and can do truly amazing things for photo editing and manipulation.

    I am taking your GIMP 2.10 Masterclass on Udemy right now. I'm only partway through the second session and am SO happy I took the plunge! I was so overwhelmed with GIMP, and now I am excited to be able to begin to understand all of the great things I can do with it.

    I really miss the old focus blur plugin, which took in a depth map and allowed to choose between several different realistic bokehs. Does anyone know where that went and/or how to get it back?

    I was not even aware there was such a thing for Gimp. I've used a similar tool in Photoshop, but never happened across anything similar in Gimp itself. Do you remember which version featured it?

    Unfortunate Gimp focus feature causes a blue screen crash when trying to add bokeh to larger photos (above 2mb). Not sure why since i have 32gb ram and the rtx2060s gpu
