Photoshop CS6 Will Easily Fake A Shallow Depth Of Field


Even though you’re only shooting with the crappy camera built into your smartphone, Photoshop CS6’s new Blur Gallery will easily make it look like your shots came from an expensive DSLR.

Properly faking a shallow depth of field usually involves creating and strategically masking multiple layers with various levels of blur on each of them. But in Photoshop CS6 you just specify what in your image you want kept in focus, and adjust the shape and size of the area around it that’s not blurred. That’s it. Just a few clicks takes you from an amateur photog to a fake Ansel Adams. [YouTube via PetaPixel]
