![]() ![]() So, with the selection active, go to Filter > Blur Gallery > Field Blur to blur the background. To do this, CTRL/CMD + Click on the alpha channel, once the selection is active, now I can blur the background to make it out of focus. To use the Depth Map, all you have to do is retrieve the selection from the Alpha Channel. You can delete the layer of the depth map in the layer panel as we don’t need it anymore. Once you have the new alpha channel, hit ALT + Backspace (make sure foreground color is set to white), this will load the depth map in the alpha channel. Once you output the depth map, switch to Channels Tab, CTRL/CMD + Click on the RGB Channel and then create a new alpha channel by clicking on the button at the bottom of the layer panel. To do this, check the Output Depth Map Only option. This filter can output the depth map of images that you can use later on for a variety of use.īefore we do that, let’s output the depth map. You can see in the below image it does work with the image below. But there are some exceptions where it might work, for example, you can use this filter on those images where your subject have a clear-cut distinction from the background. To be honest, this filter does require a lot of work before it becomes useful to all of us. Step 6 – When To Use The Depth Blur Filter? But not sure why it didn’t focus on the face of the girl in the middle. I have added a focal point by clicking in the Focal Point Screen area. This filter also allows you to add a focal point in your image and after adding a focal point it will focus on the focal point leaving the rest of the background out of focus. The image is already on the darker side so adding blue or cool tones to the image goes along very well as you can see. I have used the Warmth feature as well to add cool tones to the image. You can add haze to the background using the Haze Slider. This is the first thing that I really like about this filter is adding Haze. My subject does have a lot of halos around her and the flowers should be in focus but they are out of focus (it might be due to the background is matching with the flowers). This worked nicely with the subject and it is making the background out of focus.īut as I zoom in I have noticed a lot of mistakes. ![]() I reduced the Focal Range and Focal Distance to see how it works. Since we are not using a camera, you can think of the Depth Blur filter as a camera and the image can be seen as a scene. These are the Photography terms that you might know but I have simplified them. įocal Distance: The distance between your subject from your Camera lens. Notice the hands and neck of the subject are out of focus.įocal Range: How much scene will be focused or captured (if you are using a camera). The default settings might work for some images but you need to adjust the settings for every photo. With default settings, it creates a depth of field which is good but need to customize the settings. I have a photo opened in Photoshop, I turned this filter on, and right off the bat, it has started working. Step 2 – Depth Blur Filter Default Settings Make sure your internet connection is working as this filter process image data in the cloud, otherwise you won’t be able to use it. You can toggle the button on/off to activate/deactivate this filter. It’s currently in the testing phase and I think maybe that’s why it has not made in the list of the featured filters. You’ll find the filter in the Beta panel. This brand new filter can be found in the Neural Filters. ![]() Let’s get into it! Step 1 – Depth Blur Filter We’ll take a look at this new filter, how it works, its features, most importantly on which images it works the best.
