Depth of field doesnt affect lights Tweet

Hi there,

I was making a little firefly with an area light, but it transpires that depth of field doesn't blur out lights, just makes their sphere seem bigger - is there a way around this?

Thanks

It is blurring the lights, but your exposure or light illumination is high enough that the values are clipping, making it look like the lights are just getting bigger. Try reducing the luminance of the lights, or adjusting your exposure/aperture.
