Alien Skin Bokeh – give your photographs that professional look
Have you ever looked at a photograph in a magazine or in a newspaper and think to yourself – ” How do they achieve that awesome out of focus background and make that person stand out so much?” . The real answer is that professional photographers buy lenses with very large apertures that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Now for most of us, that seems like a lot of money to spend on a lens and that’s even if we have a digital SLR camera.Fortunately a company called Alien Skin Software has invented a plugin for Photoshop that will achieve these professional looking effects without you having to spend an arm and a leg on equipment. The plugin is called Bokeh.
