This effect creates a blur similar to the distance from the plane of camera focus in photography. You can specify the radius of the blurring effect in the image.
The "M" is a floating shape. The blur on the shadow was created by using Depth of Field.
There are five different methods for applying Depth of Field:
• |
Paper — applies the effect by using the paper texture luminance (brightness) as a mapping model. More of the effect is applied to the dark areas in the paper grain; less of the effect is applied to the light areas. If you want to experiment with the effect, keep the Papers panel open while you apply the effect. This way you can switch to different papers and modify the paper controls. |
• |
Image Luminance — uses the image’s luminance as the model for the effect. More of the effect is applied to dark areas in the original image; less color is applied to light areas. |
• |
Original Luminance — uses the luminance of the clone source (or a pattern) as the model for the effect. More of the effect is applied to dark areas in the clone source (or pattern); less color is applied to light areas. |
• |
Alpha Channel or Layer Mask — sets the values in the channel or layer mask as the model for the effect. More of the effect is applied to dark areas in the layer mask or channel; less color is applied to light areas. You can use this method only if you have a saved alpha channel or a layer mask in your image. |
