Photoshop 2022's New "Depth Blur" is INSANE! But...

Is This The Best Background Blur / Bokeh / Shallow Depth-of-Field Filter Ever? In this video, we will stress test the brand new Photoshop 2022's updated version of the "Depth Blur" feature, which is a part of Neural Filters. This time around, there are major changes like processing on-device instead of the cloud, and way more refined results among many other additions.
But still, the question remains, can we finally use it now? That's what we will find out in this episode. Also, we will put this feature head-to-head with Luminar's Portrait Bokeh AI and see how it holds up. I hope you enjoy this video. Thank you so much for watching :)

May I take the opportunity here to express that you should invest so much into AI. Programs like Gigapixel AI or Sharpen AI are doing amazing, truly amazing job, and I would love to have the power of Adobe to do all that even better. Sharpen AI in particular allows me to deblur an image with a small camera shake, which is something you think would be impossible to do but it does it marvelously. It blows my mind each time I use it.

@stevechappell7804 2 жыл бұрын

It's good to read that you're determined to focus on the masking capabilities - I certainly do hope that includes adding manual masking overrides into this tool. And maybe someday, Adobe will work with making the paint/erase cursor more visible in the workspace so that most of us don't have to guess where it is on a neutral background. Sigh ...

► For those of you who have concerns over the absence of manual focus masking at 10:59: Many of you are suggesting using the masking tools inside neural filters. Please note that it is nothing but a simple mask that you can anyway add in Photoshop, and it only controls in which areas the "overall" effect shows up or hides (whether blurred or in focus). That's a good idea if you want to bring back certain things, and it might work in some cases. However, it may result in unnecessary halos. Also, here's the actual problem; how will you defocus the things that are mistakenly kept in focus? The only way to do that is adding blur later, manually, defeating this feature's purpose. It isn't like Luminar's Portrait Bokeh AI, where you can absolutely control which areas to blur and which ones to keep in focus.

Unmesh, I agree with all of your points. I've been testing this beta feature out for a bit, and it makes some very odd choices, e.g., keeping portions of the background in focus, while blurring other parts of the same object. And, as you say, the selected focus is entirely too sharp. I realize that this is a beta tool, and Adobe is using us to get feedback in order to know what works, what doesn't and what do people really need, but I'm surprised that they haven't added tools for manually adjusting the mask. They've got all that technology in PS, and it doesn't seem too hard to add it into this tool. As it is, I can run the blur feature twice and mask out any pieces I don't want, blending two images. But at that point, I can just do it the old fashioned way.

Thank you for demonstrating these features, good work. It‘s a nice touch to have these options in PS. However, since it’s still not working perfectly, it turns out that you end up fiddling with software glitches in time consuming adjustments and repairs. Adding grain to correct a photo? Wow... My take for everybody would be to master your camera and know more about photography, e. g. DOF settings for starters.

Thanks for the review. You can manipulate the mask in Depth Blur - look at the toolbar on the left hand-side (circle with + and circle with -). As soon as you click on one of them you can use the "Select subject", "Invert", etc then add or subtract from the mask using the circle with + or circle with - .

@PiXimperfect 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Lyne, thank you for your feedback. But those tools are only for selections and create a simple mask. They can remove the effect from certain areas just as a normal mask would, but will not add blur (defocus) in areas where required.

@afnanid45 2 жыл бұрын

you are right. I myself tried using those plus and minus sign. you can actually add or remove the neural filter effect from any area in your image. as there is no flow option to make the mask smooth. you can always use opacity in top left corner. it will act as a flow for masking.

Although the Depth Blur missed elements to keep in focus like the girls backpack, if you output as a layer, you can use a quick mask and paint back the backpack from the layer below, so there is a workaround. The bush to the left looked best with some blur which Luminar AI did. All in all they both have their strengths. Luminars brushes are very useful though for masking areas.

Great video! So I just tried this on an image I took with a Samsung smartphone. I thought the result, with a small reduction in opacity was pretty amazing. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think this might be a good starting point for some small adjustments. No, I wouldn't use it to print a high resolution image without some small changes, but for social media sharing I thought it looked pretty great! Maybe it has improved a bit since the video?

Great review as always, and I'm glad to see the iterations in these filters is improving. On one level I applaud Adobe and Luminar's AI efforts to streamline workflow and provide extended options for post production, but the truth is, software will never be a viable substitute for what you should have done correctly at time of capture, there are just too many variables. And while I understand the "but what if" reasons for having tools like these as a last resort, we shouldn't be shooting with the expectation that we can add depth of field in post. If you take the art of photography seriously, master the craft, don't depend on software to make up for your deficiencies after the fact. In a pinch you might get away with it in a low resolution social media post, but in a professional fine art or editorial print this would never fly.

If I can't even do such a simple picture near perfectly, I don't really see the point of it in its current state (I may as well just do the masking and blurring manually).

I would have thought it would have downloaded with the upgrade. It didn't take long, I'm not upset because it's not a big deal, just curious. And "jaggery" would be Mick Jaggery, or what you wanted was jagged. You can add a "Y" or "...ish". You really do speak excellent English, though. I'm a big fan and have learned a lot from you.

Edit, I skipped the intro lol and I see that they are watching.. amazing
