Luminar AI update adds Portrait Bokeh
New feature borrows inspiration from smartphones
There was a time when attempting to blur the background in one of your photos was an arduous task and it very rarely produced satisfying results. The advent of smartphone tech has moved things forward however and now a mode which diffuses background detail is starting to become a standard. While this has been seen in desktop software before, Skylum has added Portrait Bokeh mode to its most recent Luminar AI update. This mode aims to create realistic bokeh effects, which can be introduced to shots taken in less than optimal locations, or where the maximum aperture was not wide enough or could not be opened any further, due to exposure restrictions.
