Tim, just looked through some images I have here on my HD. Maybe, I really don't know, but maybe it would work for the reflection blur if the same method was used that the depth of field is using. Mike, would this work? -David

David, I don't have a clue how Depth of Field works. Maybe someone else knows and will elucidate it for us a bit. Nevertheless, your question got me thinking about something even more esoteric. I wonder if you could use Depth of Field to rack the focus on the camera so as to bring the reflections on an object into sharp focus, while the object itself goes out of focus? One of those cinematic cliches, which I probably would never use. But I wonder if anyone has tried it. @-@- > Tim

Tim, I'm wondering about the same thing, but I haven't tried it yet. As I already said to Greg, there are just too many things you could check out. You can spend a year only checking out things <g> But I think the DOF feature might work quite good for reflection blur. -David
