  1. why does your selection tool neatly select pretty much every bit of the lady but when i try it on a car it can't seem to find the edge of the car and tries to select tree branches etc in the back ground?? So friggen annoying. and the part where you manually smooth out the edges doesn't work for me. It changes the background color to red like yours but when i choose the brush it doesn't allow me to color anything? Doesn't make sense. Im following exactly the same but have different results.

  18. Thanks for the tutorial. I found it very helpful. Did a shoot outdoors with 3 & 5 year old "very active" boys. Had to stop down to get both within reasonable focus. Your tutorial was great. Don't listen to the negative critics. Your tutorial was useful.

  23. Hi Jesús,
    I miss a bokeh option in Lens Blur to break up the continuous blur of the lens blurred background. The Gradient Tool works in one direction, but I want the blur to break up in small almost invisible still blurred circles laterally or perpendicular to the blur axis. I think you know what I mean.
    Do you have a suggestion?

  29. Hi! Not sure if you're still checking comments. I found this all to be helpful but I'm having a problem executing the final couple of steps. Specifically, in my notes I wrote: "Click channels, click one and drag it into the “new channels” on the bottom, then name it “depth map”, then click RGB again" – this is where I'm having a problem and then when I go to use that depth map when I use the camera blur, it's not coming out right. Help?

  36. I have literally watched 8 you tube videos from professionals, never mind the newbies who were practicing, to find one that works, and this is by far the best and easiest. THANK YOU very much.
