I know I'm not alone in having this problem looking at the reviews for this app on the Play Store and I hope an update fixes this issue. The issue is when using the Lens Blur mode the picture gets through the processing step but then when the image is being rendered the picture flashes briefly and the progress bar disappears and you are left with a normal image that you can't change the focal point or blur intensity of. I was most looking forward to updating to KitKat just to get the Google Camera for this feature and it's the one thing that isn't working. I see in the reviews that some people are having issues with panorama and photosphere as well but those are working fine for me. I got the lens blur to work a few times but 95% of the time the image fails to render. I have tried everything to try and get it to work but I'm wondering if people here are having the same issue or if they have found a method of getting it to work consistently.
I'll tell you though when the lens blur works it's amazing. I've uploaded a few pics to DEPTHY the Lens Blur viewer and it's fascinating what you can do with these pictures as you can see below.
