Widebloom · Lens and device character

Widebloom makes one kind of light.

Wide Bokeh is 18 presets for lens and device character photography. Every one of them is below, before you pay for any of it.

What this light does

one frame, 4 presets

Wide Bokeh, a register for lenses kept open

4 of them, on one photograph. Drag to compare before and after.

  1. Friends bench. With the Iris Blade preset applied.Friends bench. Photographed without a preset.
    Iris Blade applied to Friends bench

    No. 01

    Iris Blade

    For a frame shot wide open: midtone contrast carries the in-focus plane while clarity stays negative, so the grade adds no edge outlines to the out-of-focus wash.

  2. Friends bench. With the Barrel Turn preset applied.Friends bench. Photographed without a preset.
    Barrel Turn applied to Friends bench

    No. 07

    Barrel Turn

    Keeps the subject plane legible without asking clarity to do it, since clarity would find edges in the wash as readily as on the subject.

  3. Friends bench. With the Focal Throw preset applied.Friends bench. Photographed without a preset.
    Focal Throw applied to Friends bench

    No. 12

    Focal Throw

    A portrait read for a fast standard lens: the orange band lifted for skin, greens taken down, and no structure added anywhere.

  4. Friends bench. With the Stop Wide preset applied.Friends bench. Photographed without a preset.
    Stop Wide applied to Friends bench

    No. 18

    Stop Wide

    The widest-aperture case, where depth of field is measured in millimetres and every local-contrast control is kept negative on purpose.

The Register

3 groups

Every preset on the same four frames, each with a thin plane of focus, so you can watch the wash stay smooth.

  • The washThe out-of-focus area. Its colour kept, its points kept as discs, nothing roughened.
  • The planeThe thin band in focus. Skin lifted, a firm toe, the shoulder rolled off.
  • The glassAnswers to the lens itself. Corners opened, a soft glow honoured, contrasty glass seated.

Every preset in the pack is here, on the same four photographs. Nothing below is a sample. Open one and drag.

  1. No. 01Iris BladeFor a frame shot wide open: midtone contrast carries the in-focus plane while clarity stays negative, so the grade adds no edge outlines to the out-of-focus wash.

  2. No. 02Aperture WashA preset cannot smooth a wash, only decline to roughen one, so the local-contrast controls sit under zero here and the tone work is done by the curve.

  3. No. 03Pupil RoundHolds the colour of the out-of-focus area instead of pushing it, with the green and aqua bands pulled back so a leafy background stays quiet behind the subject.

  13. No. 13Bokeh FieldFor a shallow frame with an even background: vibrance carries the colour while saturation is held back, so the wash does not turn plastic.

  15. No. 15Element BloomFor wide-open frames shot in shade, where the whole frame is low in contrast and the midtones need the work, not the edges.

  17. No. 17Swirl CornerFor a lens with swirled corner rendering: the positive vignette and lowered green luminance keep the swirl from reading as dirt.

A preset cannot make a wash smoother. It can only decline to roughen it. Most looks add local contrast to make a frame pop, and local contrast finds edges in the out-of-focus area as readily as on the subject, so an f/1.2 background fills with outlines that were never there. Every preset here keeps those controls under zero on purpose and does its tone work with the curve instead.

The register runs in three columns. The wash holds the background: its colour kept rather than pushed, leafy greens quieted, specular points kept as discs with shape rather than white holes, a swirled corner kept from reading as dirt. The plane carries the subject: a warm skin lift, a firm toe for the in-focus band, a highlight roll-off so the brightest part of the wash keeps its gradation. The glass answers the lens itself: corners opened where the aperture darkened them, a soft shoulder for a lens that glows, the blue seated behind glass that is already contrasty.

Open the aperture, apply, and the rendering you paid for is still there.

Why I Make These

I am Netzah Elad Topaz. I take photographs and I build software, and the two keep leading me back to the same problem. You were there. The light was doing something you will not see again. Then the photo comes back flat, and it is not what you were looking at.

Closing that gap is the whole job. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on photographs before it ships. Nothing is a filter dropped on top of your work.

What I want is simple. You open a photo you almost gave up on, you tap once, and there it is: the day you remember, not the file your camera handed you. That is worth doing properly.

Questions, answered

Does it add bokeh?

No. The out-of-focus circles a lens draws are its own; nothing in Lightroom invents them. The set only sets the tone they sit in and refuses to roughen them.

What about a slower lens?

It still works; the negative local contrast reads as softness at f/2.8 or f/4. The full effect shows where depth of field is thin.

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the .xmp files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, no subscription needed. They also work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop.

What exactly do I get?

All 18 presets from Wide Bokeh as .xmp files in an instant ZIP download. The link also lands in your email, and the purchase stays in your account so you can re-download any time.

How do I install them?

Two minutes: unzip, then import inside Lightroom. The step-by-step guide covers iPhone, Android, and desktop.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes. The single-user license covers personal and commercial photography. The one thing you can't do is share or resell the preset files themselves.

Can I tweak a preset after applying it?

Always. A preset is a starting point; every slider stays yours to adjust.
