Features:
  • Selective Focus - remove distracting backgrounds and focus the viewer's eye on the subject. Usually, additional hardware and knowledge are required at the time the photo is taken. Many of these tools have not transferred to digital or behave differently with digital photography
  • Create realistic depth of field control, plane of focus control & selective focus to any image
  • Easily Add Vignettes, the lightening or darkening of the edges of an image. It's usually created either in-camera using hoods or in the darkroom by burning or dodging. FocalPoint uses the focus bug controls to let you simultaneously selectively blur & lighten or darken the areas outside of the sweet spot
  • A Virtual Lens - a single, intuitive control to adjust the sweet spot (the area in focus)
  • Save Settings & Create Presets so you can easily recall it

Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Ever took a picture where you found that the background was too distracting? Put the focus where you want it with FocalPoint. The use of selective focus has been part of photography since the very first lenses were invented. There are many techniques used to control either the plane of focus or removing sharpness from edges. The most common way to do this is by controlling depth of field in the camera by using a large aperture lens producing a narrow depth of field. This Photoshop plug-in lets you create such an effect without such hardware.

Tilt the sweet spot aperture in 3D, simulating the tilt effect of a view camera or tilt-shift lens. Increase or decrease the amount & feather of blur Vary the blur style - a standard defocused look or add a little motion to simulate the look of certain lenses FocalPoint always returns its results to a new layer in Photoshop, protecting your original image for further editing. It can even automatically add a layer mask so you can selectively paint out the FocalPoint effect System Requirements - Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher, G5 or Intel Core Processor(s)

Like the software, HOwever, don't use it as much as I expected. It is hard to see the bug that you adjust in the screen and so you are somewhat guessing your results in the program until it goes back to the CS3 screen.

I found this software to be just what I was looking for to enhance photos. It's very easy to use and provides a soft look to backgrounds with multiple adjustments for precise control of the focal area, depth of softness, degree of blending. Add a vignette for an additional adjustment.
