FocalPoint can also be used just for vignetting without blurring the image at all. This has a huge benefit over hardware tools like auxiliary lenses and filters because it allows the photographer to control the focus and blur after the image is taken, giving them more control and requiring fewer shots in camera.įocalPoint uses the same FocusBug controls to allow the photographer to simultaneously selectively blur as well as lighten or darken the areas outside of the sweet spot of focus. Blur choices include a standard defocused look as well as a blur that simulates motion. This special on-screen control makes it fast for a photographer to choose the sweet spot of focus either in a round aperture shape or a planar aperture shape and then control how much and what kind of blur they would like to add. The plug-in's unique FocusBug control has a tangible, hardware feel much like adjusting a lens. Users set the location of their 'sweet spot' of focus directly on their image and then control the amount, kind of blur used and even lighten or darken the edges quickly and easily."įocalPoint provides photographers with a way to create realistic depth of field control, plane of focus control and selective focus to any image after it is photographed allowing for more control and precision. "It's just like having a lens inside of Photoshop.
"Our new FocalPoint plug-in gives photographers total control over how they apply creative focusing effects to their image after the image has been shot," said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. This new plug-in eliminates the need for photographers to purchase, carry and use the accessories mentioned above at the time of the photo shoot and simplifies their ability to produce these effects later in Photoshop.
