Frischluft Lenscare moves depth of field and out of focus generation into post production, giving editors and compositors the flexibility of 2D processing without the long extra render times that come from generating realistic camera blur directly in a 3D renderer. It is available for Adobe After Effects and Photoshop-compatible programs, with development focused on matching the look of a real camera lens as closely as possible.
Depth of Field uses a depth buffer to generate physically realistic blur based on distance from the camera, while Out of Focus is a faster alternative that works without depth information, applying a constant blur radius across the entire image and adding background distortion for semi-transparent areas. Out of Focus also supports a custom drawn lens shape in place of the generated apertures Lenscare provides by default.
What separates Lenscare from a standard blur filter is its attention to how a real lens actually behaves. Lens Aperture simulation lets you alter the shape of the simulated aperture to match a range of real camera lenses, which matters when comping CG elements into real footage. Highlights are boosted realistically, since very bright image parts are normally cut off by common image formats but dominate a real out of focus shot, and Background Distortion recreates the subtle warping seen when looking through a blurred object at what lies behind it.
Lenscare's post-process approach also saves significant time compared to ray traced depth of field, since you can test different focus settings without re-rendering an entire scene, and takes advantage of multiple CPUs where available. Unlike many depth of field filters that simply blur surrounding pixels without regard to depth differences, Lenscare avoids the ugly glow artifacts that approach produces around areas with large depth changes.
Lenscare is available for Adobe After Effects, OFX-compatible hosts, and Adobe Photoshop, on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and both the Depth of Field and Out of Focus filters support 16-bit image formats for high fidelity color work.
