Refocus: set the focus point after the shot

Choose what is sharp. Everything else falls out of focus the way a real lens would.

The Refocus tool: focus point, size, settings, focus amount, subject
The Refocus tool in the panel.

This is the how-to. The Refocus tool page has the four-focus-point example, what it costs and the questions people ask.

Basic

  1. Select your subject with any tool. Object Selection works well.
  2. On Enhance → Refocus, click Use my selection as the focus point. A thumbnail confirms it.
  3. Pick how much blur you want (Light, Medium, Strong) and click Apply. Nothing else needs selecting: Refocus works on the whole image.

Advanced: the Lens Lab

Switch to Advanced to choose a lens (35 mm wide to a 135 mm telephoto, a macro, a tilt-shift) and an aperture from f/1.2 to f/16. The blur, its falloff and its bokeh follow the optics you picked, and the layer is named after them, for example Refocus · 85 mm portrait · f/1.8.

Keeping your subject as shot

By default Refocus keeps your subject's own pixels: the result is placed, your subject is pasted back on top through an exact mask, and grouped. If the subject in the original is itself soft, the panel measures that and lets the AI rebuild it instead. You can force either behaviour with the Subject chips.

The whole image is sent at the nearest shape the model supports; the panel says beforehand what will be left out, so crop first if a full frame matters.
