| Re: Simulating Depth of Field using Photoshop Lens Blur Filter Today I just found a website by chance of a photog named Karim Sahai and there he had several photos with this crazy depth of field trick going on that made the images look like miniature sets. I wasn't sure what the trick was exactly till I also chanced upon this tutorial today. VERY COOL! I'm gonna try it now! If anyone wants to see some very nice examples of this technique check out: www.karimsahai.com look under: index>places images #30, 33, 34. I really enjoyed his work. Thanks again for the great tutorial! |

| Re: Simulating Depth of Field using Photoshop Lens Blur Filter I don't think a trick or photoshop was used to create this effect. I'd say a "lensbaby" was used. http://www.lensbabies.se/pages/gallery.php?strong |

| Re: Simulating Depth of Field using Photoshop Lens Blur Filter I dunno skydog.... I've known about lensbabies for awhile and Karim's photos don't show the same uncontrolled aberations that they produce. I think it's more similar to the image in Doug's tutorial. Did you look at it. It looks exactly the same to me. I suppose a test is in order. |

| Re: Simulating Depth of Field using Photoshop Lens Blur Filter I saw this discussion on another site in the past. The effect can be achieved with photoshop and/or equipment like lensbaby (I think). I wrote him a note asking him if this effect was photoshop or equipment. If I receive a response I'll post the response. Here is another example I found. Photographers say the photo is an "illustration" if photoshop is used and a photo if the effect is achieved with equipment alone. http://www.photo.si/photo_show.php?i...1009ss_123.jpg |

| Some other examples Thanks guys. That particular example gives a miniature effect because the DOF is shorter than is even possible with normal photographic equipment so your brain tells you it must be a miniature. Here are some other samples I've done in the past (there's more than just the DOF tweak) Before: http://www.pbase.com/zumbari/image/69840021 After: http://www.pbase.com/zumbari/image/69840019 Before: http://www.pbase.com/zumbari/image/69723296 After: http://www.pbase.com/zumbari/image/69723297 Before: http://www.pbase.com/zumbari/image/69584275 After: http://www.pbase.com/zumbari/image/69584274 Bart |

| Re: Simulating Depth of Field using Photoshop Lens Blur Filter Excellent work, Bart. Personally, I like to use Richard Rosenman’s Depth of Field Generator PRO plugin. Less work, easy to use & gives very good results. |

| Re: Simulating Depth of Field using Photoshop Lens Blur Filter Thanks. I tried that filter some time ago. Yes, it greatly simplifies some situations by reducing the whole problem to one of making a depth map. You still must extract and separate objects (which is most of the work), but you can just put all that information into the depth map which is easier to think about than doing extractions on different layers. I was actually hoping Adobe would slightly modify the lens blur filter to allow it to handle depth map edges correctly. Bart |
