The idea behind Lytro was too ahead of its time, but Adobe Lightroom's Lens Blur AI shows the dream is not dead.
with a curious idea: what if a photo didn’t have to stay the same after it was taken? What if perspective had control that could be played with again and again?
The now final version of Adobe’s AI Lens Blur — which rolls out into Photoshop, Lightroom, and Adobe Camera RAW todaysince last year — brings that capability to any image captured with any camera and feels like the final form of what Lytro was trying to do back in 2012. Thanks to the advancements of AI, special hardware isn’t necessary and instead Adobe relies on depth maps it draws from image data .
Once that map is drawn, what Lightroom is seeing can also be toggled on and off through the “Visualize Depth” option, which shows charts the depth by color: yellow covers the area that has “near” focal range, blues and purples cover the area that is “far” away, and white is currently the area in focus if you’re adjusting that in the Focal Range control.were very surprised at how good Adobe’s AI was at accurately portraying depth.
