Quest Tools 10 - Lens Emulations

This brand-new set of lens emulation tools, coming to Quest in February, adds depth and character to your photos by emulating the bokeh and optical qualities of different lens styles, including modern, vintage, and creative glass. Each tool uses masking layers and the new Lens Blur function in Lightroom to emulate both the depth-of-field and lens coating of a range of lenses, and is designed to be layered over any preset/profile combination, making them perfect for getting creative!

Modern Lens Emulations

Celebrate contemporary optical engineering with presets that feature sharp detail, accurate colors, and refined bokeh for a clean, professional look. Ideal for lifestyle, architecture, and commercial projects.
