I'm using the latest FS Viewer and have been taking pics using DoF without a problem - until now. About an hour ago, I had a shot all lined up, DoF was absolutely perfect with the focal point being beautifully sharp and a perfectly subtle blurred background. Then I received a sudden request from a friend to tp them to my location, so rather than taking the snap quickly, I dropped it, thinking I'll set it up again later, which I've often done without issue. Wrong. No matter what I do, I can't get the DoF working again. Both the focal point and the background are either as sharp as a tack, or hopelessly blurred. Perhaps I've been going over and over my settings for too long (been at this location for over an hour now trying to work out why DoF is misbehaving) and have gone over and over old how-to posts, which contain nothing that I didn't already know and haven't already checked. Have tried messing around with the FOV, Foc Length, CoC and the Resolution with no success whatsoever. Is it just me, or are there times when it just messes up and there's nothing you can do but wait?

How do I enable Depth of Field while in edit / build mode in Black Dragon? I cannot find the answer to this anywhere (even the answers I find for other viewers don't actually say how to enable it) and I KNOW that I can do this. (I was taking screenshots while in edit mode with DoF on just yesterday!) I had this enabled before I updated my viewer and it erased my old settings. I just want to be able to keep my avatar still while taking screenshots, why does the DoF HAVE to disable itself when I go into build mode? It's so annoying! EDIT: OK, I just discovered how superior "Freeze World" is to my very old technique of going into edit mode to freeze my avatar. But If anyone knows how to enable DoF while in edit mode I would still love to know.

Hi, I am trying to get a good depth of field effect in Firestorm. When I get the background nice and blurry, my avatar is also blurry. When I try to fix it and make the avatar in focus again, the background gets sharp also. Have been playing with the settings for hours and reading online articles but nothing is getting me closer to how I want to view the world. Can anyone help me? Jaz
