Bokeh 2

Bokeh 2 provides a wide range of creative focus effects and accurate lens simulation in a simple interface. Photographers use Bokeh to draw attention to their subject by manipulating focus, vignette, and depth of field.

Bokeh gives you the visual language of specialized lenses without the expense or hassle. Just drop a focus region over your subject and choose a preset or easily craft your own look.

 

 

Key features:

 

Bokeh 2 is dramatically faster, has multiple focus regions, motion blur, and a more flexible vignette. See the features page for all the improvements.

 

New: Speed!
Bokeh sports a super-fast user interface that gives you real-time feedback as you change any control. Bokeh takes advantage of multiple processors and multiple cores in order to run fast on modern computers.

 

New:Creative Lens Optics «
Bokeh 2 provides many more lens simulation capabilities, including the simulation of motion-like optics found in specialized tilt-shift lenses. Bokeh 2 also simulates traditional fast lenses and also allows you to easily create artistic aperture shapes.

 

 

 

Realistic Depth-Of-Field Simulation »
Bokeh allows you to turn an f/22 shot into an f/1 by applying that smooth creamy blur only found in high-end fast lenses.

 

 

 

 

 

Creative Aperture «
Create realistic or fanciful shapes in the highlights of your photographs.

 

New: Multiple Regions
Bokeh allows you combine multiple radial and planar shapes for more control over your focus region.

 

New: Grain Matching »
When Bokeh is applied to a grainy photo, the blurring process will remove the existing grain structure of the image. The grain matching features allow you to replace the missing grain.

 

 

 

New: Vignette Enhancements «
In addition to the darkening vignetting effect, Bokeh also provides a bleaching (desaturation) control to remove color in the vignette area. It also has the ability to apply the vignette to an area independent of the blur area.

 

New: Settings Enhancements
Bokeh comes with a slew of new factory presets to help you get great results fast. These presets are grouped into meaningful categories and you can combine presets from different groups to create your own customized effect.

 

Non-Destructive Editing
Bokeh supports a non-destructive workflow, making experimentation easy. Effects in Photoshop are rendered on a new layer, leaving your original image untouched. In Photoshop, Bokeh can be run as a Smart Filter for easy tweaking of the effect after it is created.

 

Lots of Help
Bokeh has hover help, a built in PDF manual, and tons of examples and tutorial videos on our web site. But really Bokeh is so intuitive that the best way to learn is to try it yourself for free.
