Good thing I didn't share the names of the plugins (yes, plural, more than one do this) that I've used to design my own bokeh effects by defining lens aperture patterns. Then applied to the gaussian-blur depth-map masks that they use. Perhaps he is upset that he had to go look up what a depth-map mask is? 3 bladed (sided) irises, 4, 6, 7, 8-sided irises for star-filter bokeh effects, 12, 19, etc., elliptical, whatever. Also design the diameter, edge softness, and annulus width for catadioptric lens bokeh emulations, the works. Nearly any bokeh that is created by any lens design can be emulated with this software, as well as bokeh effects that can't even be created in optical lens designs. Heaven forbid that someone should share truly helpful and easily accessible information with troll idiots like you running around ruining it for everyone. YOUR LOSS! And a huge loss for everyone. Caused by trolls like you. Now everyone has to do the searching for that software based only on a vague description. Good luck finding my most favorite and vastly configurable one as described above, I've not seen it on the net for about two years. You useless trolls taught me well. NEVER share the most important bits of information as long as a news-group is being overrun and taken over by a pack of useless and pathetic trolls. The trolls will only use that information to be better at pretending to be photographers with the next newbies who can't immediately see the trolls for what they truly are.

Prove me wrong! Google is your friend. One such plugin is even unimaginatively called "Bokeh". I don't like the results but then I have never been into lenses smeared in vaseline etc. eg. http://alienskin.com/bokeh/index.aspx Can't say I would recommend it. Regards, Martin Brown |
