You can achieve similar effects without the plug-in, but of course the point of having these pre-brewed solutions is convenience with someone else having done the hard work figuring it out for you.Perhaps in your example the effect seems a little un-natural to me. I'm sure that it can be adjusted (opacity?). From your description it sounds as though there are a lot of options to try. Could well be an interesting tool to have in your collection. I know that the other Alienskin plug-ins are very well respected. Do your agencies for stock work accept this kind of manipulation to the images? I have no experience there at all. 2009/3/24 Jan van Rooyen <jan at gviolins.com> > Tina, with all due respect, the result does not look like bokeh to me, it > looks like blur.
