High end photographic lens simulation, designed by professionals to add emotional weight to your imagery.

Use these effects to add romance and style to your work, with beautiful bokeh effects. Simulate real optical phenomena, including cat's eye bokeh, the sought after "swirly bokeh" effect which is seen on rare antique soviet era lenses, and more. Designed to be used in Resolve's color page, so you can quickly enhance your shots as you develop your looks, but works just as well in the timeline, and fusion.

Use custom bokeh kernels for additional realism, or the instant "animated occlusion" presets, to make that long-lens, voyeuristic look.

Adjustable sample rates for highest quality, artifact free renders, or "draft modes" for fast response to help keep in the creative flow.
