Alien Skin Bokeh 2 PhotoShop Plugin
New release

24 August 2010

by Huw Collingbourne

Alien Skin Software today announced the immediate availability of Bokeh 2, the new version of its lens simulation plug-in for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

Bokeh provides a wide range of creative focus effects and accurate lens simulation in a simple interface. Photographers use Bokeh to draw attention to their subject by manipulating focus, vignette, and depth of field.

“Bokeh has grown beyond lens simulation into a creativity tool, especially with the addition of motion blur,” said Terence Tay, the architect of Bokeh. “Now photographers can get sophisticated focus effects without the hassle and expense of using tilt-shift or special effect lenses.”
