Agreed here too. Frischluft is the top winner. AE has come a long way and has come very close to Frischluft, but has not over taken it.

AE pros:

-Native in camera focus

Frischluft pros:

-Iris designer visual

-Depth point picker

-highlight matte visual

-focal plane visual

the lens blur in CS55 looks nice and is not dead slow anymore.

the one thing that i really like about frischluft is the ability to set your point of focus (based on your depth pass) by clicking in your comp

Hi Everyone,

I plan on purchasing CS6 in the next couple of weeks, and am currently running CS5.  When I'm at work, my lens blur of choice is the Frischluft suite, but I wanted to know if I should purchase it for personal projects if the revamped lens blur in CS5.5+ worked at the same level.

I would love to hear your insights.

Thank you!
