Gimp Bokeh

cool, I like hat effect.

[Graechan]

Just to clear things up a little 'ffBokeh' is not my script but one I got from Samj's old site, but I do recommend it
for finishing your photo artworks

thanks anyway Graechan. I grabbed it. She doesn't come on line anymore so thanks for posting it

Some cool bokeh effects.

So far, we've seen 3 ways to generate the effect in GIMP.

1) G'MIC
2) ff-bokeh script
3) Focus Blur Plug-in

Anyone know of other scripts or techniques for GIMP?

Another Focus Blur from this thread. I selected the section I wanted to be the "in-focus" foreground, then blurred the background to get the bokeh effect.

OK - Graechan or Samj or whoever, thank you; I like this script and the flexibility it offers. I do prefer the semi-auto form as it gives me more input and post creation tweaking options to play with, So I played a bit using some Vivid Sydney Light Festival image ...





The little bokeh moon/solar system was an error but I like it so I kept it!

What about the Samj BOKEH EFFECT VERSION 2 that you can find in File>Create>Pattern?

[Issabella]

Marcello, I don't have that Bokeh version 2, I like that one a lot.

Thanks to the links to the two other bokeh scripts from samj.

Here is another attempt at bokeh.

Bokeh Effect

Just grabbed this screenshot of a real example of bokeh on TV.



So, here is my attempt to simulate the same effect using Focus Blur.

Good explanation and article on bokeh, with examples of good and bad bokeh.
