![]() ![]() If only thing you need to do is blur background and leave a person shot from waist up in focus, than its pretty straight forward. Soon as you have something more complex than that, with multiple objects in foreground, middle ground and background coming in and out of focus, gradually, than you need far more complex masking. ![]() You might as well do it in Photoshop in multiple passes, because Mask AI is surly going to crash, and combine it as one depth mask. That being said, the second problem of Mask AI is that it blurs the background with Gaussian blur algorithm that looks nothing like real thing. So it would need to update its algorithm to simulate lens blur which is far more complex algorithm and it needs a lot of manual control to be able to control various aspects of the effect. The one thing that Mask AI does well is that it applies the mask and blur effect intelligently, which means that it works well when you have delicate hair-strands you need to leave in focus and blur the background. It is the only program that does that automatically. But with Blur being Gaussian blur algorithm, it is not that useful. Here is an example where I used Mask AI to select the subjects but I use another specialized plug in for the Depth of Field Simulation. I use them both, but I create my depth mask using variety of tools. It needs to be far more stable before they start adding new features.Ĭurrently there are only two good third party filers on the market and both are PC only if I’m not mistaken: Including Topaz AI, which has potential but its terribly unstable and buggy so it crashes all the time., its been like this since version 1, so I tend to use it, but I don’t recommend it to people because its way too buggy. ![]() Just installed the latest version in Windows 10. ![]() I open a non-transparent PNG 2527x3445px 24 bit depth. The message “Detecting Subjects” appears. ![]()
