( See Controlling Depth of Field with Multiple Images for information on how to use this feature). If you didn’t use a tripod when capturing your images you can always use Photoshop’s Auto-Align feature. When capturing your own images for this technique you’ll want to use a tripod so the images align properly in Photoshop. Feel free to use these two images to follow along with this tutorial: Rose-1.jpg, Rose-2.jpg.
The other image was shot at f/5 (Rose-2) and has a reduced depth of field. One image was shot at f/22 (Rose-1) and has a high depth of field. In this tutorial I’m using a couple of images of a rose from my garden. The other image should be shot using a large aperture, and the resulting image should have a minimal depth of field. One of the images should be shot using a small aperture, which will give you a high depth of field-the majority of the image should be in focus. To begin you’ll need 2 images of the same subject.
If you want to take this technique to the next “advanced” level I recommend you download a 30 day trial of onOne Software’s Perfect Photo Suite 8 for evaluation. FocalPoint 2 gives you accurate control of the focus your images and amongst other things, allows you to recreate the blur and depth of field from several popular lenses. If you’re looking for precise control of the focus and bokeh in your images I recommend you look into onOne Software’s FocalPoint 2 software. Instead it’s a handy technique that you can use for creative focus.

The brushes were recently featured on Adobe Create, and while the whole pack will cost you $19 over on the Creators Couture website, you can download a free sampler at the Adobe website. It’s like painting with a customizable pixel size. Once you’ve chosen your specific patten brush, the other way you control the effect is brush size-the smaller the size, the more detailed the rendering.
There are to categories of brushes, artistic and aligned, which either keep things closer to the original pixels or spread out the color more.
