LR/PS - Applying the Lens Blur Filter for Selective Focus | Adobe Evangelists - Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

In this episode of The Complete Picture, Julieanne Kost shows us how to get great results with the Lens Blur Filter in Adobe Photoshop CS4.
http://adobe.ly/x3bXus

After you make the blur over the full picture, you quickly switch to the gradient panel, but you say it so fast that I don't know what you pressed to get there. It sounds like you say tap the "g" key for gradient. But when I do that, the paint bucket tool appears. Help?

  • Scrubby sliders in the Lens Blur Filter in PS CC 2014 behaving erratically.

    The scrubby sliders in the Lens Blur Filter in PS CC 2014 are behaving erratically. In PS CC no problems. I may be mistaken, but I think I read somewhere that this filter only works on 8bit images.
    In PS CC it works on 16bit, and in PS CC 2014 (no third-party plugins) nothing works. Could this have something to do with the Graphic Card, or Cache Levels? All advice appreciated.

    Sorry, no solution to the problem, but a confirmation. I do have the same problem (Intuos Pro and Pen & Touch) showing the problem with ACR 8.5 and Photoshop (2014, CC and 6, these were updated with ACR 8.5) . No such problem before ACR 8.5 and no problem with LR 5.5 (also containing ACR 8.5).
    I hope there will be a solution from Adobe soon, since sems to be caused by the ACR update.
    Windows 8.1 in my case and latest Wacom Intuos driver installed.

  • Iris shapes in lens blur filter

    Hi,
    In earlier versions of Photoshop the lens blur filter offered the ability to choose the iris shape one wished to apply to bokeh being created.
    I can't seem to find that in the new filter gallery.
    Anyone know where it is hiding?

    Good day!
    Could you please post a screenshot with the Layers Panel visible?

  • The camera presets for the Lens Correction Filter are gone

    Hi!  I shoot with a Canon 5D Mk II and Mk III.  Sometimes I need to use the Lens Correction filter and have gotten used to seeing the dropdown choices for Canon cameras and associated lenses.  Suddenly, they are all gone.  Canon isn't even an option.  What could have happened to them and how can I get them back.  Any advice would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

    Jeff,
       Thanks for the quick answer, but I still think the menu is misleading.
       If the body choices were in the format of "full frame, 1.3 crop, 1.6
    crop, etc.", it would be clear that the specific model didn't matter.
    However, this would create its own problems since many people wouldn't
    understand the concept of the crop factor for their camera.
       The fact that the 5D Mark II exists in the pull-down menu as a discrete
    choice in addition to the 1Ds Mark III implies that there is a difference
    between the two. Even if there is no functional difference in this context,
    it would avoid confusion if the actual body from the EXIF information could
    always be the default selection.
       Thanks.

  • Nikon D800 Camera not listed in the Lens Correction Filter under camera models in Photoshop CC 2014

    I do not see a Nikon D 800 Camera listed in the Lens Correction Filter under camera models. Is there any way to update this ?

    The lens distortion corrections are encoded in such a way that they are independent of the body of camera that they were determined with--in other words they are in terms of millimeters not pixels.  The only issue is that lens profiles computed on a crop-frame body can't reliably be applied for the same lens on a full-frame body because the lens profile from a crop-frame body won't cover the entire full-frame lens image circle.
    So as you're looking for a lens profile just make sure you're using a full-frame one if you have a full-frame or crop-frame camera, and don't try to use a crop-frame one on a full-frame camera.  I'd expect Adobe only computes crop-frame profiles for crop-frame lenses, and uses full-frame camera bodies on full frame lenses, so there shouldn't be a problem.

  • CS 5.5 plug-ins - sans Lens Blur Filter

    hello the BASIC Lens Blur filter from AE 5 is NOT showing up in AE 5.5 - and yes its in the correct folder in AE 5.5 but its not a choice in the effects menu
    any solution suggestion?

    Lens blur is not included in 5.5 as a selectable option.
    However, you can add lens blur to a layer in CS5, then open or import the project in CS5.5. The filter will show up and you can copy and paste it to another layer. It's kind of a wonky workaround, but it will work.
    I'd love to see a project where the new filter won't do what the old one did. Blur map is the new Depth Map. If you have an example, even WO footage I'd love to take a look at it.

  • Using Camera Lens Blur Filter / Mask

    I have a question concerning the lens blur and I hoping someone can point me to a good tutorial.
    I have several interview segments and I would like to do a small digital zoom at the end of each clip. The background is slightly out of focus already and it doesn't look natural to zoom when the bokeh is not changing.
    I have a good handle on the filter but I am not that experienced with advanced mattes. I need to learn how to get the matte on the person and stay during the zoom so I can manipulate the background. The subjects are seated on a stool so their is very little movement.
    Did some searches but I am probably not searching the right keywords. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
    Thanks.

    Masking? Rotsoscoping? I can think of a million ways to create separated layers or mattes and then duplicate the layer and invert the masks/ matte, but if you never have used that stuff before, you will hard-crash on concrete and not get very far, I'm afraid. It takes at least a bit of practice to produce a clean matte. As a palce to start you may get by suing the Rotobrush and see, if it produces clean enough edges, but if not, it's proably better to scrap the idea before eitehr ending up with a bad result or not meeting your deadline...

  • Anyone know how to reset the lens correction filter? (it's using the wrong scratch disk)

    OK, to back up a little, I recently discovered that photoshop was using the wrong drive for it's scratch disk (it wasn't obeying the preferences I'd set). So, I reset the photoshop preferences file (ctrl-alt-shift & open photoshop).
    Trouble is, the lens correction filter is still using drive "F:" (my only scratch disks are C, D and I). It access it at a root level and creates some temporary files while the filter is in use.
    Does anyone know how I can get photoshop to behave?
    Thanks

  • Has someone applied the one off patch for-ONS bug 5749953 SIGBUS ERROR

    Hello all,
    Env:: 10g on Soalris
    I need to apply the one-off patch for
    Bug:5749953 -- ONS SIGBUS ERROR AFTER INSTALL PATCHSET 10.2.0.3 FOR CRS
    Usually for any CPU we issue opatch apply from the patch directory.
    and its mentioned in the readme.html as well.
    But for this one off patch, there isn't anything mentioned in the readme.html.
    All it says is
    #  6. Patch the Files
    #    6.1 Patch the CRS home files
    #    After unlocking any protected files and saving configuration settings
    #    you are now ready to run opatch using the following command.
    #    As the Oracle Clusterware (CRS) software owner;
    #    % opatch apply -local -oh <CRS_HOME>
    #    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.
    #    6.2 Patch the RDBMS home files.
    #    Alert: The RDBMS portion can only be applied to an RDBMS home that
    #          has been upgraded to 10.2.0.3.0.
    #    For additional information please read Note.363254.1;
    #    Applying one-off Oracle Clusterware patches in a mixed version home
    #    environment
    #    As the RDBMS software owner;
    #    % opatch apply custom/server/5749953 -local -oh <RDBMS_HOME>
    #    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.Could someone let me know from where i should give 'opatch apply' if patch.zip files are unzipped in /export/home/oracle/5749953  ? TIA,
    JJ

    The patch can always be installed in 2 ways.
    1. Do a cd and then run opatch
    cd <patchlocation>
    opatch apply
    2. Else specify the patch location as an argument
    opatch apply <full path to the patch i.e the one you do cd above> ...
    Both the above styles yield same result.

  • Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    Mac user, OSX 10.9.4. CS6, in the new Blur gallery the pin with adjusters does not appear for any of the three blur filters. This may have occurred since taking adobe watermark add-on and updating Bridge. any ideas?

    I am using Mac OSX 10.10.1 (memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, graphics Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB)
    and my version of Photoshop is CC.
    I ran into  the same problem: I am able to place and view Blur Gallery pins but the adjustment wheel or outer control arounf the pin that allows you to tweak the blur value disappeared after being initially available. Additionally, the placed pin or pins appear to flicker on screen (while in blur gallery mode) until committing the change with the OK button. I have tried restarting both the computer and Photoshop, as well as what some other users have suggested such as View>Show>Edit pins turned on. Nothing has helped so far. I am still able to adjust the blur amount  from the Blur Tools slider. thank you.

  • The Best Spam Filter for Mail

    Here is the best smap filter for mail:
    http://c-command.com/spamsieve/
    I don't know why Apple don't buy that company and include the spam filter on mail, that would be great because spam is getting worst every day, and people than don't buy this type of spam filters need to delete a lot of spam mails every day.

    The Junk Mail filter included with the Mail.app has always worked very well for me, and IMO, a good deal of the responsibility for filtering spam in the first place and where it arrives initially, lies with the email account provider for an email account - with adequate filtering performed at the incoming mail server.
    This and taking some precautions with an email address shouldn't require having to purchase a spam filter from a 3rd party for the email client used to access an account.

  • Can my Y2P bought in other countries apply the new update fix for the yellow issue?

    Sorry to have new post, but the original post about yellow issue is banned.
    I'm plannying to buy Y2P from Hong Kong for long time, but I want to wait for the fix to come out. 
    Now I see the fix has came out but would there be differences in the content of update for different models as I'm buying the i7 8GB RAM 256GB SSD version of Y2P in Hong Kong? Or could my Y2P directly apply the newly released update for the yellow issue?

    Frist apple isnt here so they're not going to here your message. second you should try the following
    -restart phone
    -reset phone
    -reset network setting
    -restore the device as new

  • The best 'blur' filter to use on high rez stills jittering on NTSC?

    I've got a film full of stills a la Ken Burns.
    Some have some very fine lines... and thus are jittering on the NTSC screens. I want to add a slight blur ...
    I can use a Flicker Filter, but sometimes find it takes two or three of them in a row to do the job.

    So I had to go in an use a 2% directional blur...vertical. That took care of that...well, enough to pass inspection anyway.

    Are you sure you understand the Cloud License concept?
    You are entitled to keep Photoshop CC and install Photoshop CC 2014, so CC 2014 is not connected with additional costs and the time it takes to install the new version of Photoshop should not be that much of a imposition, should it?
