Focus 2 CK (Pro) For Mac

The focus effect is without doubt one of the most important characteristics of any photo and it’s also one of the most powerful creative tools used by photographers to highlight or separate specific subjects and direct the viewer’s attention towards a point that’s relevant for the message.

Focus 2 CK (formerly known as Focus 2 Pro) is a powerful photo editor for the Mac designed from the ground up to provide you with an extended set of tools for controlling the focus and the amount of blur in your photos.

Without getting to much into detail, it all comes down to what you can actually do with it. As it turns out, Focus 2 CK makes it possible for you to add creative and selective focus effects, lens blur, motion-blur, tilt-shift effects and increase the depth of field or bokeh of your photos.

First thing you should know, Focus 2 CK can be used as a standalone app, but it can also, just as easily, be employed to work with full-featured photo editing apps like Adobe’s Photoshop and Lightroom, and Apple’s Aperture.

Secondly, and just as important, Focus 2 CK comes with a set of pre-configured presets namely, Portrait, Nature, Architecture, Macro, and Tilt-Shift. Of course, you can build your own presets, as well as manually control the amount of blur and the intensity of the vignette effect, manage the contrast, highlights, saturation levels and the amount of motion blur, as well as to fine tune the “in-focus” area of your photos.

We can’t really manage to put our finger on what’s most impressive about Focus 2 CK, the extended and comprehensive level of control and its powerful editing features, or how very simple it is to work with.

At the end of the day one thing becomes evident: Focus 2 CK is not a perfect substitute for achieving effects that lower-aperture, long focal range or for tilt-shift lenses can produce and neither can it substitute the photography artist’s vision, talent, and experience.

Despite this, with a little bit of patience and work, Focus 2 CK is a powerful photo editing app can get very close to emulating the actual effect produced by expensive equipment and gives you the power to control the amount and kind of focus in your photographs.
