DOF - how to use?

I’m trying to create an illustration where I want to have a blurred foreground, but the rest of the image should be quite sharp.

It seems impossible to use the build-in DOF effect, as the field where the image is sharp, is very very narrow.

Is the DOF effect working as intended or is it still in development?

I really like the idea of having this feature as a fast way to add some depth to the image, without the need to create it in post.

I guess you already tried 2.4 preview? The sharp area should be much larger than previously. There was a little incorrectness that blurred too much.

Quite sure that I use the latest preview version. I’ll check that.

Shouldn’t the size of the sharp area be adjustable? I can’t use it as it now.

@Jorgensen_dk The size isn’t directly adjustable corresponding to a real camera. You have to lower the DoF effect in order to increase the sharp area.

But we have a corresponding story on our agenda which got your upvote.
