In this movie we see how the Blur Gallery filters can be combined. You can adjust the transition zones, and the Field, Tilt Shift and Iris blurs interact with each other to give you more options as you design.

Powered by the new Mercury Graphics Engine, the Blur Gallery allows you to apply and combine three kinds of blur. Use it to create depth-of-field effects in post. This highly versatile filter also allows you to customize specific points of blur and focus.

Russell shares his tips and techniques for using Tilt Shift, Iris Blur, and Field Blur in Photoshop CS6.

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.

This new effect gives you the ability to create the optical effect of a real camera lens blur. If you need to add depth to a scene, or obscure something in the frame, Camera Lens Blur will do that and make it look completely realistic. You also have complete control parameters like iris shape, blur maps, super whites, gain and threshold.

The greatly improved Camera Lens Blur effect in After Effects CS5.5 allows you to add the same advanced iris simulations and highlight enhancements to already-shot 2D footage offered in CS 5.5 by the impressive new 3D camera depth of field.

Precisely adjust depth of field to make your subject stand out.

Colin Smith experiments with the Lens Blur Filter. This technique will add believable depth of field to your images. Create dreamy backgrounds while keeping your main subject crisply in focus.

Instructor Richard Harrington shows you how to use depth of field blur to create backdrops for use in chroma keying.
