This software adds selective focus to images with ease.
FocalPoint is a Photoshop plugin that provides photographers with precise control over their depth of field, selective focus, and plane of focus. This enables greater control and precision over images after they have been taken. With its tangible, hardware-like feel, the focus bug control in FocalPoint allows photographers to quickly define their desired "sweet spot" and control the type and amount of blur they would like to add in either a round shape or a plane.
Compared to auxiliary lenses and filters, FocalPoint has huge benefits as it allows photographers to control the focus after the image has been captured, reducing the number of shots needed on camera. In addition, FocalPoint makes it easy to add vignettes - a common technique in photography used to darken or lighten the edges of an image. Vignetting is typically used alongside selective focus to minimize distractions in the background and focus the viewer's eye on the subject. While Photoshop has various ways of applying vignettes, FocalPoint's focus bug controls make it much easier to selectively blur, lighten or darken areas outside the sweet spot.
FocalPoint's focus bug is a unique control that enables photographers to adjust their "sweet spot" and other commonly-used controls in a single, intuitive control. It's like having a virtual lens in Photoshop, allowing you to fluidly adjust your photo in real-time. Once you have an effect you like, you can save it as a preset for later use. FocalPoint stores all your settings, including the relative size and position of the FocusBug, and can be called through Photoshop actions to batch process entire folders of images.
Selective focus has been used in photography since the first lenses were invented, with many techniques used to control the plane of focus and remove sharpness from edges. FocalPoint 1.0 gives photographers a new way to get the focus just right, making it easier to create beautiful, artistic images with selective focus. Whether you're a wedding or portrait photographer or working in commercial or editorial photography, FocalPoint can help put the focus where you want it in your images.
