491 Combining Field Blur with a depth mask

- [Voiceover] In this movie,…we're going to take our composition so far…and we're going to add a couple of helpings of field blur…in order to impart a sense of depth.…The reason this effect is so uniquely suited…to PixelSquid art is that PixelSquid goes ahead…and includes a depth mask as we're seeing right here…along with the object,…which means in the case of the dinosaur,…we can blur the tail independently of the head.…In other words, the head and this forward arm can stay…in focus while the tail declines.…

All right, so I'll go ahead and switch over…to my composition so far,…and I'm going to scroll all the way to the bottom…of the list to the background,…and I'll double click on it in order to convert it…to a new layer and I'll go ahead and call this layer Trees,…and I'll click OK.…Now I want to apply field blur…as a non-destructive smart filter,…which you can only do inside Photoshop CC incidentally,…if you'e working in CS6 or earlier,…you'll just have to apply it as a flat filter,…but because I can I'm going to right click inside the image…
