While Focus 2 Pro can run as a stand-alone app, it also works as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Lightroom, and Apple Aperture.
Focus 2 Pro contains pre-configured aperture settings tuned for specific types of photography such as Portrait, Landscape, Macro and Tilt-Shift. Tilt-Shift helps create the popular “miniature” look in photos.

- Plug-in support for host applications Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Apple Aperture
- 3 New Types of Blur: Zoom, Radial and Linear Motion Blur
- RAW image support, up to a 16-bit depth
- Advanced Brightness, Contrast and Saturation fine-tuning for blur areas
- Advanced Detail, Clarity and Vividness fine-tuning for areas in focus
- Improvements to Bokeh simulation algorithms
