SUMMARY
Lightroom Classic's Lens Blur tool employs AI to infer depth and distance in images, digitally simulating the shallow depth of field typically achieved with wide lens apertures. This feature serves as both a stylistic choice and a compositional aid, helping to isolate subjects from their backgrounds. The tool offers controls for focus range, blur amount, and bokeh shapes, with options for automatic or manual subject detection. Users can also refine focus and blur effects using manual brush tools for precise adjustments.
