You can change the brush size with Radius and fine-tune the brushing with Softness and Opacity.

Restore – restores to the original state, regardless of whether it was in focus or not.

Defocus – adds area that is not in focus (adds bokeh).

You can quite easily fix these issues with built-in brushes. Particularly difficult are areas with a lot of scattered details, such as hair. Whilst artificial intelligence does one hell of a job automatically masking out the subjects it sometimes makes an “oopsie”. You have successfully joined our subscriber list. It may be attributed to the inaccuracy of the tool. However, a trained eye can notice a few-pixel pixels thick halo above my shoulders. Bokeh AI comparison: Amount 0 vs Amount 100Ĭrucially, Luminar AI automatically masked out the main subject (in this case, me). When I pushed the slider all the way to the right (100), the background became beautifully blurred. Pay attention to the amount of detail in the background in the image below. Conversely, moving it to the left “unblurs” the background. In other words, moving the slider to the right blurs the background in your images. The amount slider controls the strength of the bokeh effect. Now, let’s break down this tool as it has quite some features that you need to understand to take full advantage of its power.

And you’ll be able to get to work immediately. If you come back to the same images later, it will instantaneously load the depth map. During this time, Bokeh AI creates a depth map for that image. When you open it for the first time for that image, it will take a couple of seconds to process it (the Luminar AI logo in the top left will be glowing).
