The new FocusBrush lets you paint focus or blur right where you want. These presets simulate highly desired, expensive lenses that produce a bokeh, or out of focus region with a specific look. Users can now use the new lens presets that are built into FocalPoint 2. The new blur algorithm is so accurate that realistic depth-of-field changes can be created that look just like they were taken in the camera. The updated blur algorithm used in FocalPoint 2 closely matches actual lens blur to create an authentic out-of-focus look including aperture-shaped highlights. You can combine them to create complex shapes or to highlight multiple subjects. New in FocalPoint 2, you can use multiple FocusBugs to define the area you want to keep in focus. You can even tilt FocusBugs in 3D, creating swing and tilt movements just like a tilt-shift lens. Using the FocusBug is a fluid, real-time experience, just like using a lens but inside Photoshop. Next, adjust the antennae to control the type and amount of blur and the hardness of the blur edge. Then use the Bug’s legs to set the size and shape of the blur. Simply click and drag to position the blur. The FocusBug puts the most commonly used options in a single, easy-to-use control. It has never been easier or faster to focus your viewer’s eye and minimize distractions. Then finish things off with an elegant vignette.

With the new FocusBrush tool you can paint sharpness or blur where you want it. Set your area of focus and then select a lens to simulate or create your own by controlling the amount and kind of blur, even in 3D. With the intuitive FocusBug controller it is just like using a tilt-shift or selective focus lens right inside of Adobe Photoshop. Create realistic selective focus, depth-of-field and vignette effects that tell your viewers right where to look.
