After the Gradient Pattern is chosen, the unfocused result may
not match the photo because of the positioning of different objects in the photo. Therefore, you'll need to adjust the pattern to optimize the result.
-
Make sure you have determined the gradient pattern for the photo
(in this case, the Linear pattern is chosen).
-
Switch the Preview Window to the After mode by
clicking the Multi-View
button.
-
Click the Background Gradient
button under the Depth Pattern group.
-
The Background Gradient panel will show.
-
You may find gradient meter, consisting of a line and a series of circles or points, shown on the
Preview Window.
Linear Meter
|
|
Dragging the line may move the entire meter.
-
Fully-blurred or Non-blurred Points: The
areas beyond these two points can be
fully-blurred or non-blurred.
-
Gradient Range: The area of the
photo within this range will
auto-generate the gradient blur.
-
Half-blurred Points: This point
determines the half-blurred position
within the gradient range.

Radial Meter
|
|
Dragging the line or the circle may move the entire meter.
-
Position Point: Drag this point to relocate the entire
meter.
-
Fully-blurred Point: This point determines the size of the
blue circled area. The areas outside of the circle are fully-blurred.
-
Non-blurred Point: The area under
this point is not given a blur
effect. Drag it to make the clearest
point of the photo varying distances
from the center of the blue circle.
-
Half-blurred Points: This point
determines the half-blurred position
within the gradient range.

Reflected Meter
|
|
Dragging the line may move the entire meter.
-
Fully-blurred Points: The areas beyond these two points will
have a fully-blurred effect.
-
Non-blurred Points: The areas between these two points
are not given a blurred effect.
-
Gradient Ranges: The areas of the
photo within these ranges will auto-generate gradient blur.

-
Drag the points to modify the gradient pattern to optimize
the result.
|
|
Drag the point to have the gradient
direction follow the ground.
|
The de-focus effect is optimized to match the spatial
sensation of the photo.
