I've seen a number of tutorial videos since this feature came out, but your techniques are something I've not seen demonstrated--and they're great! I've been using lens blur but will use it even better now!

We're glad to hear that! Keep phlearning 🤗

Something I've wanted for years!!!! I've had to do this manually with a few little time consuming tricks... MUCH EASIER NOW!!! Thanks for the details in the video...

Yes, it is a great tool! Hope we will soon be able to use the depth map generated, as a mask to control all the other stuff we can modify with masks!

This is PRICELESS!! I’ll be using this All the Time!

I hadn't messed with the target feature yet. Also, just like in photoshop you can drag the bars on the depth simulation to set your depth of field.

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!! Helps a lot. You are so good to explain these. Easy to follow and understand! Always awesome tutorials❤❤

Oh my, massively useful, and glorious timing for my now project (End of Year celebration at a wonderful K-8 school). Thank you, Aaron, a clear, enjoyable tutorial.

Thank Aaron for such an EFFECTIVE tutorial. Your sample image makes it EASIER for me to learn by allowing me to work along with your tutorial. I love it when you say it works better than Photoshop.

welcome to the phamily

The first image looks like a tilt-shift lens effect with the blur applied. I've found that this feature works best when making an f2.8 or so image look more like a 1.8 or 1.4 and 1.8 or 1.4 look like f1.2 rather than a focused background into smooth bokeh. It's good option for beginners on a budget though to see if bokeh performance is something to consider when buying lenses.

What a great little run-through! Thanks Now to see if regular Lightroom can support this too ;p

I reckon Aaron Nace rips PHAT bongs. Just got that sleeper vibe about him.

Great review I have one question which is: what was the other icon next to the little focal icon that looked like an entire subject in a frame? You did not discuss that icon at all or what it’s purpose was thank you very much. Love your stuff.

Hi Scott! That's the "Focus Range" tool. It allows you to select the area you want to blur.

What’s better, prime lenses or this feature in LR.?

@phlearn

14 күн бұрын

There's nothing like prime lenses☺. This tool is great for those who are on a budget and are not able to buy expenses lenses.

Some years ago, PS had a depth map blur effect that let you paint the depth map. But it seems to have gone away, as I could not find it when I wanted to do that again.

I think, it's a great one, but in use with wide angel photographie it looks a bit unnatural for my eyes. I've never seen a full body photography with background blur in this way. I often use also 24 mm f1. 4, but you haven't such a dramatic blur. Many thanks for your work. I'm also a pro-member of phlearn 😊

Hi Aaron, awesome demo! My one gripe about Lightroom is that it always seemed to not just let me open a file and edit it. It seemed to always want to catalog it or file it a certain way. Never just open and edit the way Photoshop does. This is why I stopped using it. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong, but every time I try to open a file to make a simple edit, LR acts like it wants to process a series of Raw photos. Hope this makes sense. How can we get it to simply open a file, edit and save the same way we would with any photoshop file?

@phlearn

You're right, Lightroom's core functionality revolves around managing and editing large photo collections, and it might seem less intuitive for single-file edits compared to Photoshop. The key difference is between importing and opening. Importing adds the file to Lightroom's catalog for management, while opening just edits the file without adding it. Here's how to open a single file: Go to File > Open (or press Ctrl/Cmd + O). Navigate to your photo file and select it. The photo will open in the Develop module for editing. Let us know how it goes!

Hi! Thanks for your video. What if the Blur Tool does not work? All the time when i use it i see an 'error'. i dont know what to do, i already updated app, but still it's not working :( help
