Well I usually do my Depth of field in post, in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, using Depth of FIeld Pro plugin by Richard Rosenman, which is really good, and, it can do animations (when saved as indiviual frames, via a batch process) which makes it prefferable for animations and tweaking by hand, to get just what you want.

However, it DOES leave visible edge distortions that I can see. larger renders and thus, finer masks do a better job, but large depth blur still shows it.

I don't have the latets version however, which may do it better? (damn another thing I need ot buy *mutters darkly, sacrifices CobraEye to the dark gods of finance! :lol: )

This one of the pics I've done with Depth of FIeld, but I honestly can't recall if I di dit in post or inside Vue
