Hi Martin & Terry! Thanks for your responses, and yes, the new feature sound very promising and, as I understand it more general.
My use case would for example be a farmers field of, say wheat and trying to take a photo of the first row of straws, with a narrow depth of focus, uniform natural light - but with exactly the same color in the whole scene (except sky) it makes it hard to separate out the first row of straws. In this (and similar situations - crowds of people) it would be useful to be able to either darken och brighten the out-of-focus areas I think.
