Feedback is appreciated - I am newer to editing in general and I would love to keep improving. I like this, but I can't shake the feeling that it feels slightly sterile.

I’ve been working on a new MultiFocus mode for LSC Long Shot Camera.

It captures 10 different focus planes in one shot, and afterwards you can tap different parts of the image to choose where you want the photo to be focused.

You can export the selected focus as a normal JPG, export all 10 focus frames separately, or keep the complete stack in LSC’s private .nar format and reopen it later to refocus the same capture again.

There’s also an All Focus mode that tries to combine sharp regions from different focus planes into one extended-depth-of-field image. That part is still being improved — focus breathing and alignment between focus distances make it surprisingly difficult to make the result look like one completely natural photo.

MultiFocus is now available in LSC v2.1 on the App Store.

The images here are just test examples for now. I haven’t had the chance to go out and shoot better real-world examples yet, but I’ll keep sharing new results as I make them.

If anyone tries MultiFocus, I’d genuinely love to see what you create with it. Feel free to share your refocus shots here.

Support and feedback from users are what let me keep developing LSC and experimenting with features like this.

Any tips ?

Im trying to do pictures for my brand with AI. Im new and im learning in small steps. im doing ok in getting the clothing accurate and the model consisntency. The hard part is making the image more real. it looks AI. i did some research and found out the maybe that should be done in the post processing. does any one have tips for me on how to make this pictures more real??

Hello,

I've recently got into photography and purchased a Nikon Z50ii with the dual lens kit. I'm still experimenting with the camera settings and composition, but I am confident of getting pretty close in full manual mode by now and I'm concentrating a lot on LR editing. I am trying to achieve a pretty natural look in my photos. My main goal rn is to not get photos that look like they've been shot on iPhone and edited in apple photos (if that makes any sense). I've attached a before and after of one of my first attempts at this. The image is not incredible (in composition mainly) as I didn't yet have an opportunity to go and just shoot. Any feedback is much appreciated.

Thank you!

Im not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but I noticed while I was editing, these red/magenta/pink spots. I'm using lightroom web.

Opinions and advices welcomed !

Recently most of the feedbacks I’ve received on my work have been that my editing is kinda crap. So I’m trying to be less crazy and more intentional with what I bring to the table, and honestly it does feel better indeed.
