not surprisingly, I'm surprised again over what I learn here. How simple and effective this method is. A mask, and the bokeh can be kept where it should be. Nice.
Excelente tutorial Jesús, espero que estés bien amigo, cuídate mucho y te deseo lo mejor para ti y tu familia en estos difíciles momentos por los que estamos pasando y esta pandemia acabe lo más pronto posible y no haya que lamentar más víctimas mortales, un gran abrazo.
I have been following you for so long. I'm simply enjoying with learning so much. I would like to request one thing is that please add an image to your description. So we can easily practice and follow your instructions. Thank you so much for your videos.
this is so neat, and the method you used is quite unexpected I thought you would have to arrange those kind of bokeh circles manually across the image so impressive
Thank you for this simple & brief tutorial. I have 1 question though. How can we change the shape of the bokeh from round to say octagonal or even say a heart shape or any other shape?
This is helpful! But this image happens to have most colour in orange, hence the bokeh is also in orange. I want to create orange bokeh, on a green background, eg. Christmas tree. How can I do that? Tried change hue of the background layer renamed to colour, but does not give me orange, for some reason.
The edges of the circles seem a little sharp. A quick image-search seems to indicate that's normal, but somehow, seeing them that sharp in the WIP makes them look more like regular circles than bokeh. I wonder if they'd look right with softer edges that blend into the background. 🤔
Is this technic better or when you use another image and use the bokeh blur on that image? I mean, the effect applies with the colors of the image (the blurry light on top of the image with the same color ), or its colors are different? I don't know how the effect is created outside photoshop, naturaly from lenses. Or it doensn't matter? That's always a choice too....
Muy buen truco Jesús y, como acostumbras, muy bien explicado 👍 Me gustaría saber que recomendarías para hacer variaciones del tamaño de esas iluminaciones con las que se quiere hacer el efecto bokeh. Se me ocurren dos formas, una pintando con un pincel variando el tamaño del mismo y otra, haciendo varias capas usando la técnica que has explicado e ir variando el tamaño de cada una de ellas. No sé si podrías sugerir alguna otra forma algo menos laboriosa.
Thank you!! This was great. Do you have a tutorial on large sized backdrops... I set the design at 300dpi for the best most crisp printing, but when it comes to sending it to print companies online they only allow a certain size file. I don't want to lose sharpness or crisp printing buy having to make it a smaller dpi.. any help will be appreciated...thank you.
I followed All steps but the bokeh points dont get bigger by bluring them more and more... Just less visible 😭 thank your for your amazing explanation!
Jesus, when i first saw this method i tried it out and it worked fine. Since the June update i cannot get it to work. When i set the threshold to where i want it, i then press OK and my settings disappear and i get a grey with lots of noise on it instead of the few dots of white i wanted. Any ideas please. I have screen shots of my results if you need to see them.
I forgot to include the 2nd method to create a shape for Bokeh. 2nd Method Note: If you create a pattern without using the fill adjustment tools in the previous method you will have less control over how the pattern is displayed. Create a layer Use the custom shape tool. Find a shape you want to use from the Shape menu item. Create several different sizes of the pattern before saving the image of the pattern. Go to the adjustment icon > pattern. Find your pattern and click ok. This will create a layer with the pattern linked to the layer. Notice this pattern is not as random as the one created in the other method. Merge the pattern and the layer. Invert the pattern. Again this trial and error for your image but in the process, you may come up with patterns you can use elsewhere. To touch up the Bokeh create a mask for it and paint out any imperfections.
Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh#Origin Hi Jesús. I listened to a Japanese person demonstrating the sound of the word bokeh, and his pronunciation was: bo-ke, stacato! and with equal emphasis on both syllables. The ending h is not pronounced or prolonged.
