Add Stunning Bokeh Effects to Your Images Using Affinity Photo and Imagelys Picture Lab


Creating eye-catching, professional-quality photos often comes down to mastering subtle yet impactful effects. One such effect is bokeh—the beautiful, blurred backgrounds that make your subjects pop. With the power of Affinity Photo and the creativity of Imagelys Picture Lab, you can effortlessly add dazzling bokeh effects to your images and elevate them to the next level.


What is Bokeh?

Bokeh, derived from the Japanese word "boke," meaning blur or haze, refers to the aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas in a photograph. Photographers use bokeh to:

  • Draw attention to the subject by creating a shallow depth of field.
  • Enhance the artistic feel of an image with soft, dreamy light circles.
  • Add visual interest, especially in low-light or night-time photography.
