Aperture diffraction intensity and disabling bokeh

Hi,
Is is possible to change aperture diffraction intensity other then changing aperture size? It is connected to bokeh so it seems it's not possible to alter intensity of glare/bloom without re-rendering.
I also tried to find way to completely disable bokeh, but there is no pinhole lens option. Is there any way to do it?
Best regs,

If you use a large f number in camera settings, this is like using a narrow aperture in photography, giving the result of a large depth of field. And if you also pick your focal point, this will also help reduce all the effects of too narrow a depth of field.

Yep I get it, but I just wanted to:
- disable dof completely (pinhole camera?)
- detach diffraction from aperture
It's pretty important when rendering small things where aperture has large value to keep large dof and when I wanted to add only subtle diffration (more like glow) it's just not possible. That's why I asked.

I don't think you can disable DOF, unless you use an orthographical camera. Indigo is physically based and for traditional cameras you'll always have a certain aperture opening.
Post pro AD can be turned on and off, but I don't think the size can be changed. For that you'll want to export an exr and do it in a program specifically made for these purposes, such as Arion FX.
Good luck

Thank you Oscar J. Just diffraction from Indigo looks better then from ArionFX, and one post-production step less of course.... Let's make a with then for such feature!
