Hi Unmesh - amazing review, and thanks for objectivity and keeping us on our toes. Feedback is taken to the team, we'll continue refining the ML quality, the user experience and use the power of Photoshop and masking capabilities!
Thank you, Alexandru :) I know Photoshop's in good hands because of incredible people like you who want the best for the program. The improvements are drastic, and I can't wait to check out what's next!
May I take the opportunity here to express that you should invest so much into AI. Programs like Gigapixel AI or Sharpen AI are doing amazing, truly amazing job, and I would love to have the power of Adobe to do all that even better. Sharpen AI in particular allows me to deblur an image with a small camera shake, which is something you think would be impossible to do but it does it marvelously. It blows my mind each time I use it.
It's good to read that you're determined to focus on the masking capabilities - I certainly do hope that includes adding manual masking overrides into this tool. And maybe someday, Adobe will work with making the paint/erase cursor more visible in the workspace so that most of us don't have to guess where it is on a neutral background. Sigh ...
@PiXimperfect Hey Unmesh, thank you so much for making such a video like this. Please keep make the videos like this about negativities with Photoshop. Because there are so many wrong things in Photoshop beside of good ones. We can send to you some serious problems or developing requirements for Photoshop if you start a post on your RUclips or Instagram. Because your videos are cared for by Adobe developers. Be our voice :) (sorry for bad english)
► For those of you who have concerns over the absence of manual focus masking at 10:59: Many of you are suggesting using the masking tools inside neural filters. Please note that it is nothing but a simple mask that you can anyway add in Photoshop, and it only controls in which areas the "overall" effect shows up or hides (whether blurred or in focus). That's a good idea if you want to bring back certain things, and it might work in some cases. However, it may result in unnecessary halos. Also, here's the actual problem; how will you defocus the things that are mistakenly kept in focus? The only way to do that is adding blur later, manually, defeating this feature's purpose. It isn't like Luminar's Portrait Bokeh AI, where you can absolutely control which areas to blur and which ones to keep in focus.
Thanks for this. It’s good to see the difference. I use Lightroom, Luminar Ai and Photoshop for my post production. I’m so gutted I can’t afford to pay for the course as I was super excited to continue learning from it. I just wished there was a cheaper payment plan over a longer period of time.
Hi Shaun, those three trilogies are the same I use from time to time! Thank you so much for watching and your interest in the course. No worries, as long as you are subscribed to PiXimperfect, I will try my best to deliver good quality free educational content as well :) Thanks so much for your support!
No one will care about photography either. It's becoming a 'human not required' activity. People should be careful what they wish for. You are redundant.
If you save the photo as NEW LAYER MASKED, you can modify the mask. Although it's not in the neural filter, you can make changes to the mask afterwards. Just wondering if its's possible to changes the blur effect after you saved it, I couldn't find this?
Umesh, I don't know if you have addressed the problem I have encountered with my IMac with the M1 chip. Some of the features in Photoshop 2021 only work if running Photoshop in Rosetta and some only if Rosetta is turned off. I have also encountered problems with smart Sharpen, if I don't check use legacy in the settings I get three vertical lines in the sharpened image.
I wish who saw my comment his parents lives long with good health 💞 Lots Of Love from Last Pakistani Village Siachen Valley if u can plz Suporrt ur bro🙏
can I keep everyhting in lightroom, but just send my raw photos over to luminar ai to do the bokeh? I've been trying to but it only says I can send a jpeg of my edited raw over. If lightroom can't do it, can capture one do it where I an send my raw over?
Thanks Unmesh! Great insights and review as always. Loved the comparison with Luminar. As a photographer I do feel isn't it easier creating natural blur by shooting f/1.8 at 85mm or higher? What are your thoughts please?
Thanks for the review. You can manipulate the mask in Depth Blur - look at the toolbar on the left hand-side (circle with + and circle with -). As soon as you click on one of them you can use the "Select subject", "Invert", etc then add or subtract from the mask using the circle with + or circle with - .
Hi Lyne, thank you for your feedback. But those tools are only for selections and create a simple mask. They can remove the effect from certain areas just as a normal mask would, but will not add blur (defocus) in areas where required.
you are right. I myself tried using those plus and minus sign. you can actually add or remove the neural filter effect from any area in your image. as there is no flow option to make the mask smooth. you can always use opacity in top left corner. it will act as a flow for masking.
It’s great to see Adobe respond to constructive criticism. These technologies will only get better. Right now though it’s a million miles away from a real photo with shallow depth of field.
What you didn’t touch on was the ability to export the photoshop depth blur as a layer mask. That’s the output you would go for for more “photoshop” customisation
In their defense, it's still in Beta. But again, yes, there are so many features inside of Adobe that if they can find a way to make them work together, it will be a massive success!
****New amazing PS22 feature**** --> how to make a nice picture taken on $3k camera and $2k lens look like it's been shot on iPhone portrait mode. I'm joking, of course. I love having lots of features and could be useful indeed when used in a tasteful way. Thank you for sharing as always!
Hi Unmesh, great video! I've found the easiest way to fix the incorrect selection issues is by outputting the depth blur as a smart filter and then using the attached mask to remove the blur from the areas in which you want to restore the sharpness :)
That's a good idea, and it might work in some cases. However, it's nothing but a regular mask that you could add later anyway. Here's the problem; how will you defocus the things that are mistakenly kept in focus? The only way to do that is adding blur later, manually, defeating this feature's purpose.
@@PiXimperfect or you could use the "brush" that's integrated in photoshop to help bring focus directly (when applying the depth blur a set of tools appear on the left side the "circle with a +" and the "circle with a -" they're still a bit buggy and inaccurate but they get the job done). hopefully this comment makes sense haha
I'm interested to find out .... how did you get the Depth Map Output Only to export in a way it can be used as a layer mask? I'm trying to figure it out and can't...
OMG!!! A scene in ADOBE R&D department . TM is telling the R & D team "Guys keep this picture next your system, please be aware that this guy is going to test the upgrade, not me. So sit tight and do a good job and see that this guy comes back with good review". No prizes for guessing the picture of that guy.😁😅😅🤣
I have a challenge for you or maybe you can help me: Recreate the "brilliance" filter from the original Photos App. (Mac). in photoshop. I have been a photographer for a long time and I have never succeeded in recreating this adjustment effect on Photoshop. When I am on my i-phone and I modify my photo by reducing the "brilliance" adjustment, I manage to have results that I cannot redo in Photoshop. It's a mix between light tones and hdr. I waste a lot of time trying to redo this same setting ... Can you?
Great discussion, there is so much to learn here. What more amazing is it's free knowledge. Thank you so much! Learning life is a only thing which can make you a perfect personality human being
Actually you can: Output your selection as layer mask and further refine it with the brush tool! Super easy :) - thanks for your videos! They are simply great!!!
Hi Unmesh!! Grt skills and design. I was thinking to switch to this career from my current soft dvlt job. Can you help me out whats this field is like? Have many Q
Very sharp review. I noticed you just had to turn on the Depth Blur. I had to download all the Neural Filters before using. Was yours like that? I would have thought it would have downloaded with the upgrade. It didn't take long, I'm not upset because it's not a big deal, just curious. And "jaggery" would be Mick Jaggery, or what you wanted was jagged. You can add a "Y" or "...ish". You really do speak excellent English, though. I'm a big fan and have learned a lot from you.
Unmesh, I agree with all of your points. I've been testing this beta feature out for a bit, and it makes some very odd choices, e.g., keeping portions of the background in focus, while blurring other parts of the same object. And, as you say, the selected focus is entirely too sharp. I realize that this is a beta tool, and Adobe is using us to get feedback in order to know what works, what doesn't and what do people really need, but I'm surprised that they haven't added tools for manually adjusting the mask. They've got all that technology in PS, and it doesn't seem too hard to add it into this tool. As it is, I can run the blur feature twice and mask out any pieces I don't want, blending two images. But at that point, I can just do it the old fashioned way.
You are the best, piximperfect! glad to discover your channel! I hope Adobe will include a paint brush where we could still paint the areas that needs to be blurred or sharpen that is not detected by the focus subject option. but this is a great improvement! Thanks Adobe!
Hello Unmesh. I'm so happy that I found you teaching Photoshop, but too late, you're teaching so good I spend a big amount of money to learn photoshop in Afghanistan, but the teachers wasn't able to teach me and Photoshop was getting harder to learn for me, and then I searched to learn photoshop online, and I found your video "Photoshop Tutorial for complete beginners' and I knew that I can learn photoshop from you because your teaching method is different. I just want your instruction to learn photoshop. A bundle of thanks.
I just happened on you via a Google news link. Your tutorials are awesome. I'll be watching more. Great production in the process of your creating/sharing and great videos from what I've seen so far
May I suggest that you make one or more tutorials on how to repair typical errors in depth maps, from the new version of depth blur (with depth map only ticked).
Most of the photos seen processed were shot almost parallel to the ground plane, ie camera looking forward. Im wondering if the algorithm can cater for shots angled non parallel to the ground plane, eg when looking up a tall building, or downward looking down from a tall building. Or if a ohoto does not have any clues of leading lines...
After watching this video, I quickly tried it out with a very simple picture of mine (bird on a stick), and there were still significant issues (e.g. edges of the branch were blurred making it look unnatural, certain branches of the branch missing). If I can't even do such a simple picture near perfectly, I don't really see the point of it in its current state (I may as well just do the masking and blurring manually).
Thank you for demonstrating these features, good work. It‘s a nice touch to have these options in PS. However, since it’s still not working perfectly, it turns out that you end up fiddling with software glitches in time consuming adjustments and repairs. Adding grain to correct a photo? Wow... My take for everybody would be to master your camera and know more about photography, e. g. DOF settings for starters.
For "The Biggest Problem", why can't you just output the depth blur on a different layer, then do the appropriate masking on that layer, blending in the original from underneath?
That's a good idea. However, it has one problem. That way, we can only bring back the focus in certain areas, but not defocus something. If we do wish to defocus, we will require additional manual blur, hence nullifying the whole point of this automatic feature.
I am really very interested of this features. But neural filter is not working. there is showing a messege-"we've temporarily disable this filter because of an error" . what can I do now ?
Its better. But if you look at the end of front of the car, its in focus, but the road surface beneath that area of the car is blurred. So its better, but still needs work.
Great video! So I just tried this on an image I took with a Samsung smartphone. I thought the result, with a small reduction in opacity was pretty amazing. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think this might be a good starting point for some small adjustments. No, I wouldn't use it to print a high resolution image without some small changes, but for social media sharing I thought it looked pretty great! Maybe it has improved a bit since the video?
think a photographer or an editor needs to be a project manager at Adobe for these projects, to get an on ground perspective for these s/w. They just dont seem to know what is required at the end user.
Great review as always, and I'm glad to see the iterations in these filters is improving. On one level I applaud Adobe and Luminar's AI efforts to streamline workflow and provide extended options for post production, but the truth is, software will never be a viable substitute for what you should have done correctly at time of capture, there are just too many variables. And while I understand the "but what if" reasons for having tools like these as a last resort, we shouldn't be shooting with the expectation that we can add depth of field in post. If you take the art of photography seriously, master the craft, don't depend on software to make up for your deficiencies after the fact. In a pinch you might get away with it in a low resolution social media post, but in a professional fine art or editorial print this would never fly.
You could bring back areas that have been blurred mistakenly by outputing the result as a new layer, then masking or the parts that shouldn't be blurred to show the unedited image underneath. It's not perfect but it would do the job.
Ps always crashes when I use neural filters I have tried everything. I have the lastest version of PS as well. They claimed the update would fix that but its not.
A VIDEO SUGGESTION. Hey bro... No words about your videos. Just perfect always... i really love to watch total lesson without missing a single second. Let's get into the question. "I just want to learn an smart and accurate way to fix the cloths. Messy wrinkles are the main." I think you got the point... and Thank you so much much much for your every lesson. ❤️
I love how Luminar nowadays challenges Adobe. But for me Luminar is not very practical as blur only works with people, not with e.g. a car. Adobe "subject" does.

12:45 you can use the + and - in the top left of the screen to add or remove mask.

Very cool. But, think I'll hold on to my fast glass for now. ;-)
Maybe PS need to facilitate editable "focus subject mask"
Isn't it great to have those two tools competing and pushing both developer teams to get even better? 😀
Because Adobe is so lazy unless it has some sort of obvious competition. Just look at how little indesign has changed in the past 8 years.
After watching this video, I quickly tried it out with a very simple picture of mine (bird on a stick), and there were still significant issues (e.g. edges of the branch were blurred making it look unnatural, certain branches of the branch missing).

I am really very interested of this features. But neural filter is not working. there is showing a messege-"we've temporarily disable this filter because of an error" . what can I do now ?
When Adobe listens, then take it seriously. Still the kings of image processing.
If they were listen, than we could have all adobe software multi cpu and multi thread compatibility.
excellent analysis. looking forward to the future version when this feature is practicable.
Its better. But if you look at the end of front of the car, its in focus, but the road surface beneath that area of the car is blurred. So its better, but still needs work.
Doesn´t the history brush fix the problem with the lost backpack? (after you have applied the filter)
How about just setting it as smart filter under output and just mask out the sections it missed?
Great video!
So I just tried this on an image I took with a Samsung smartphone. I thought the result, with a small reduction in opacity was pretty amazing. Maybe I just got lucky, but I think this might be a good starting point for some small adjustments. No, I wouldn't use it to print a high resolution image without some small changes, but for social media sharing I thought it looked pretty great! Maybe it has improved a bit since the video?
think a photographer or an editor needs to be a project manager at Adobe for these projects, to get an on ground perspective for these s/w. They just dont seem to know what is required at the end user.
Great review as always, and I'm glad to see the iterations in these filters is improving. On one level I applaud Adobe and Luminar's AI efforts to streamline workflow and provide extended options for post production, but the truth is, software will never be a viable substitute for what you should have done correctly at time of capture, there are just too many variables. And while I understand the "but what if" reasons for having tools like these as a last resort, we shouldn't be shooting with the expectation that we can add depth of field in post. If you take the art of photography seriously, master the craft, don't depend on software to make up for your deficiencies after the fact. In a pinch you might get away with it in a low resolution social media post, but in a professional fine art or editorial print this would never fly.
When you output first layer you can shit+ctrl+f a few times as needed and you'll get a more in-depth blur. 😊 Thankyou for your continued support. 😊
You could bring back areas that have been blurred mistakenly by outputing the result as a new layer, then masking or the parts that shouldn't be blurred to show the unedited image underneath. It's not perfect but it would do the job.
Ps always crashes when I use neural filters I have tried everything. I have the lastest version of PS as well. They claimed the update would fix that but its not.
Great Video.
You're right about doing the masking by hand.
Manual rocks (at least as of now). Thank you so much!
So,i guess we could say as for now they are both good in their own way depending on your photo and/or subject
A VIDEO SUGGESTION. Hey bro... No words about your videos. Just perfect always... i really love to watch total lesson without missing a single second. Let's get into the question. "I just want to learn an smart and accurate way to fix the cloths. Messy wrinkles are the main." I think you got the point... and Thank you so much much much for your every lesson. ❤️
Try Camers Raw Filter and slide the texture slider to the left. It worked for me without frequency separation.
Sir Which one is best "Photoshop" or "Luminar Ai" or "Photoshop + Luminar Ai"
For Realise Bokeh On Human Subjects
Please Reply 🙏😊
I love how Luminar nowadays challenges Adobe. But for me Luminar is not very practical as blur only works with people, not with e.g. a car. Adobe "subject" does.
Very good comparison 👍🏻
Ehhh, nah, as long as there's the option to output the depth pass, I'm happy. Great video as always.
