Try the latest development version. Also, what is your backend and settings?

Sorry, I just discovered something strange. Disabling ignore format changes appear to fix the problem. I'll test again tonight. Got stuff to do right now.

Hmm, that is curious. Reproduce it. It appears only in very few specific places, and not in normal gameplay, but it's really weird.
Here is a fifolog of one of the scenes he mentioned in screenshots. I played it in 4.0-265 with OpenGL, efb to texture, ignore format changes off, and all the right things, and it still shows up.

I'll do some revisions testing on this and report back. I don't remember this when I played through it.

Disabling ignore format changes only partially fix #4 (old man still looks a tad blurry), but still, I think the DOF is broken. So far the issue only occurs during cutscenes. Also, disabling ignore format changes is required to make the other textures visible (D3D backend). Not disabling it will cause some textures (i.e. plants on walls in houses, vines) to not appear at all.
#1, #2, #3, etc. still produces blur regardless of settings.
P.S. I just started playing this on emulator, so there is a possibility that there are more defects on the way.

What do you mean with "Disabling ignore format changes "? You mean, uncheck the checkbox?
@ MaJoR: If that's the case, why did you not close this thread instead?
Updated by MayImilae over 10 years ago
The problem is not fixed by unchecking "Ignore format changes". There is currently no way around it besides disabling EFB copies outright. Even software does it (with EFB to Ram style glitches that liter this game). Yea, EFB to Texture is more accurate with Skyward, EFB to Ram shows tons of errors. Just try it on that fifolog. EFB to Ram may be tie-dye hell, even it still has the blur.
Fortunately, this bug appears to only occur in select places, like cinematic close ups. The fifolog I provided coinsides with one of his emulator/wii comparison screenshots, so we already know what hardware looks like for that fifolog. I.e. not blurred all to hell.

Actually if you look at pic 2 there is a depth of field effect in the background with wii, just not on the character. It seems to be a depth issue with the effect in dolphin.

Can someone confirm it's fixed in all areas that have this issue. The example image I was given looks fine, but I'm not very familiar with this game. Thanks!
Updated by greatbrian2 over 10 years ago
I will test it tomorrow night. However, one of my friends told me the fix didn't work.

And with EFB2tex too, I've been getting conflicting reports about SS working with/without EFB2ram.
Updated by greatbrian2 over 10 years ago
Just tested it with EFB to RAM. The fix DID NOT work. The results are the same as before.

Can you test that it's happening on the Tev_Fixes_New branch as well? https://dolphin-emu.org/download/list/tev_fixes_new/1/
I don't play on console, so it's very possible that I messed this up somehow. Reopening.

Can someone recheck this issue now? 4.0-2626 may have fixed it.
Updated by kostamarino over 9 years ago
Oops sorry, i meant to answer for issue 7478, this issue might be fixed.

Looking at the fifolog provided in comment #3:
If you use the look at object range 0 - 394 then the image is sharp.
It looks like the next objects are setting up DOF to me, perhaps it's supposed to be more subtle.
How does it look on hardware?
Updated by ZephyrSurfer over 2 years ago
Rather it gets added in range 0 - 395
The DOF effect is being created in range 383- 394 and added in 395
