In this video, Sylvain Paris will show you a sneak peak of a potential feature for editing videos, including the ability to create 3D fly-throughs of 2D videos and change focus and depth of field.

An oft-overlooked issue in stereoscopic production is how the point of convergence relates to the viewing plane. Chris Meyer demonstrates adding 3D depth of field blur to the equation to create more realistic, easier-to-view scenes.

With Photoshop CS5 Extended, you can easily enhance the realism of your 3D designs by generating shadows with simple steps to invoke the shadow catcher. Browse different looks for your 3D models and extruded designs by picking realistic materials like chrome and cork from the rich new materials library. Explore with different focus points in your 3D scene by previewing and adjusting the range for depth of field. Even use stunning HDR images or panoramas to light your 3D scene.

Adobe Photoshop software is the undisputed standard in digital imaging, preferred by professionals worldwide for its unmatched editing and compositing capabilities.
