FAQ
What is the bokeh effect?
The bokeh effect is a photographic technique where the background is blurred while the subject remains in focus, creating a sense of depth and visual separation.
How to get bokeh effect in Luminar Neo?
In Luminar Neo, you can apply a bokeh effect using the dedicated tool. Simply open your image, select the tool, and adjust blur, lighting, and shape to achieve the desired result.

Yes, Luminar Neo allows you to apply edits across multiple images, making it easy to create consistent results and save time when working on large projects.

Modern tools like Luminar Neo can produce highly realistic results. While a true lens depends on optics, AI-powered tools can replicate depth and light behavior to closely resemble real bokeh background effect results.
What makes Bokeh in Luminar Neo special?
Unlike basic blur tools, Luminar Neo uses AI to analyze depth and create realistic bokeh, even if the photo wasn’t shot in portrait mode. It accurately separates the subject from the background and lets you control blur strength, focus distance, and bokeh shape for a more natural and professional look.
