What is a .LB file?
A ".LB" file is a type of file known as a Lens Blur Project File. It is created by a program called Lens Blur, which was designed to help users add a special effect to their pictures called Bokeh. Bokeh is a term used in photography to describe the way the out-of-focus parts of a picture look. This effect makes the background blurry while keeping the main subject of the photo sharp, creating a beautiful, dreamy background that can make the subject stand out more.
The ".LB" file contains everything that was part of the Lens Blur project. This includes the original image you started with, any of the Bokeh or blur effects you applied to the image, and the settings you chose while working on the project. It's like a package that holds all the changes and adjustments you made, so you can open the project later and continue working on it or make new adjustments.
To open a ".LB" file, you would need the NexusHubs Lens Blur program. However, it's important to note that NexusHubs Lens Blur has been discontinued, which means it's no longer being updated or supported. This could make it difficult to find or use the program if you haven't already installed it.
Bokeh effects are popular in photography and graphic design because they can add depth and interest to images. While Lens Blur was specifically designed for creating these effects, there are other image editing applications, like Adobe Photoshop, that can create similar blur effects, including what's known as a "Gaussian" blur. Even though these programs might not use ".LB" files, they offer tools and features that let you achieve a similar look in your images.
