Corel PaintShop Pro X4 User Guide
If you don’t have a pre-existing selection, you can select an area
of focus using any of the selection tools in the Depth of Field
dialog box:
Circular
,
Freehand
,
Rectangular
,
or
Raster Selection
.
Make your selection slightly larger than the area you want to
keep in focus, and then fine-tune the edge of the selection by
using the Focus range slider.
You can also
Invert the selected area
Mark the Invert check box.
Control the aperture shape for the
blurred area
Click one of the following
buttons:
• Circular Aperture Shape
• Hexagonal Aperture Shape
Adjust the transition between the
area in focus and the blurred area
Move the Feather edge slider.
Moving the slider to the right
increases the feathering; moving the
slider to the left decreases the
feathering. Note that a setting of 0
produces a hard, undefined edge,
which is probably not what you
want. In general, do not set this
slider to less than 2 or 3.
Fine-tune the size of the area in
focus
Move the Focus range slider to the
left to shrink the area in focus. Move
the slider to the right to expand the
area in focus to the edge of the
selection.
