The depth maps are so versatile, and thank you for showing us two different applications in terms of fog and depth blur, and on two different images. So insightful and will help me make better compositions, both easier and faster. Thanks Rikard.

Very clever stuff Rickard - I especially liked how you used the Neural FiIlter just to create the depth map - and the perfect shadow for the model - which was the icing on the cake!!

Rikard, you are the best. Thank you for making a very complex task easier to understand.

Great tips! Fog will also generally have a bit of texture to it, so I'd also recommend adding a bit of grain to the fog to better sell the composite.

Super stuff as always. A really useful way to use that new neural filter.

Perfect timing. Yesterday, when editing an image, I blurred the background after making a selection of the subject. Closer inspection today revealed an imperfect selection (aren't they all lol). I just used Depth Blur after watching the first part of this tutorial. It worked really great for what I wanted to do. Thank you so much for introducing me to this tool. Another lesson added to the book called "The More I Learn, the More There is to Learn." 🎆

Love this video. Thank you for the clear explanation.

Very inspiring and educative tutorial. Thank you!!

Brialliant as always Rikard, many thanks for this tutorial!

A great example of the value you include in your tuts - all the small tips hidden inside your video make this so much more valuable than one might expect. I highly recommend your packages to anyone that will listen!

Thanx for the clip, another way to use Depth Maps is to wrap textures on top of objects in 3D. The girls looks huge in the second example, BTW 😅 Keep up the good work!

Oh, Depth Blur - "we've temporarily disabled this filter because of an error". I guess I'll have to wait, really wanted to try this. But thank you! EDIT: restarted PS, all working. Thank you, I've learnt a lot!

Thanks for the tutorial Rikard ... just one question though. When you create the gradients for the lights, how do you create multiple gradients on one layer? Every time I try this the gradient applies to the whole layer and it is almost impossible to adjust. If I try a second gradient, it simply overrides the first one. Any suggestions?

@nuclylearn

Жыл бұрын

Make sure your gradient is set to "foreground to transparent" and, if you are using Photoshop 2023, also make sure you switch from "gradient" to "classic gradient"

Thank you for describing and illustrating these tools. My one hesitation with following the techniques exactly would be that the resulting histogram in your first example was massively ruined. Since digital images are confined to the histogram (and the cloud can't replace image information just yet) for any output other than older displays, these images would not reproduce very well. I guess it comes down to intent - if the intent is to faithfully reproduce an image with as little degradation as possible for the widest amount of output possibilities or if the intent is to have the image shown as a small size on digital displays only. At that point it is more about editing techniques rather than the Depth Map you were illustrating. In any case, thanks again for showing the tool.

❤👍👍👌

Hi Ikard, I have been using PS for many years, but I found your tutorial is very useful and cover lot of information there. Just subscribed. I'm thinking to update my Photoshop version, but not sure Elements version is good enough or not. What I heard is there is no big difference if I don't plan to print any professional products. What is your opinion?

@nuclylearn

7 ай бұрын

I haven't used Elements enough to give a good comparison of the two. The last time I used the program, it wasn't near as robust as Photoshop and comparing the two would be silly. But I know Elements added some basic layer functionality and other tools which make it closer to Photoshop. It's something I intend to explore in the new year.

I like the way manage the fog creation in this video. I find it hard to remember all these useful video these video tips. Any suggestions on how I can remember various PS tips?

Practice each one with your own images. Once you've actually used it to improve your own image, it will be easier to remember as you can associate it with something you've done.

Excellent tutorial as usual 👍 I need to fill a selection which has varing Pixel opacity to Fully Opaque. You showed a technique in a one your tutorials that I cannot find. I have tried Layer Mask >From Transparency then adjustment threshold 1 for selection creation. Was that the same technique you use?

@nuclylearn

Жыл бұрын

Not sure. But you could also right-mouse-click > select pixels and then activate the quickmask. From there, go to image adjustments > curves. Then take the top of the curve and move it to the left to where the histogram is flat. From there, deactivate the quickmask and fill in your selection. It will be 100% opaque.

Excellent tutorial. BTW, in the newer version of Photoshop, how do you generate a depth map to 3D, as you could do in the older versions of Photoshop since they've discontinued the 3D features in Photoshop.

Possible link download image city png and depth map ?

awesome tutorial , i have 2 questions // when you create the fog switch the depth map to screen which looks amazing then use a clipped curve like you have , what i want to know is there a way to make the fog more murky and darker without makeing the actuall image darker or losing the fog ? like i want to use this technique with dark woodlands/forest but i have no idea how to make the fog darker murky like to fit the look of the image ??? // question 2 when you creat a depth map for a forest scene but the tree closest to you has a branch with alot of leaves and the depth map really struggles to deal with this and creates like this weird block around the leaves as its not filling in the gaps properly , so is there a way to fill in the gaps of leaves with the fog so it looks seamless and none of that weirdness you get ??? / ive tried all sorts of ways to do this but no luck , hoping you can help me out here / awesome channel btw love your content

To answer your first question, the way to color your fog would be to first make it a transparent layer so that you don't have to use the screen blend mode. You can do this by selecting your channel thumbnail while holding command and then fill in your selection with white on a new layer. From there, you can adjust the color and opacity to your liking. For your second question, unfortunately there's not a great solution here. As you point out, the neural filter is not great at fine detail. So the only way I can think to do it, would be to use smart selections and hand paint your depth map in the detailed areas.

Hi, I have Photoshop CS6. I take it I cannot use depth maps etc in this version?

@nuclylearn

Unfortunately, the CREATION of depth maps is something Adobe introduced in Photoshop CC 2021 with neural filters. But if you already have a depth map (any 3D program will render them) you can use them as shown. I have, on a few occasions, also created my own depth map from images to use with the Lens Blur filter, but it is quite time consuming.

Great tutorial- but wouldn’t it be helpful to make the image (or layer) into a smart object so the blur effects could be changed/adjusted later?

Any B&W layer in an RGB file will have all three channels. But you can turn that information into a single alpha or spot channel as described around the 5:46 mark in the video. If you want it as a greyscale image, you can also duplicate your file, flatten it, change your color space to greyscale and save it that way.
