In this tutorial we'll cover using Depth of Field among other fx. Tutorial Includes project files.
Here's the picture we'll be using.

Select all (Control+A), Control+C to copy, then do a Paste In Place.


Let's apply Depth of Field using Image Luminance and Min set to 7, and Max set to 1.

Next Apply Lighting was applied with the settings below and the lights in the particular positions.

At this point I applied Zoom Blur set in the middle of the canyon by clicking in the image and stroking.

We should have this effect now.

I want at this point to change the layer mode to Magic Combine on this second layer.

Duplicate that second layer and turn the layer mode to Hard Light.

Then apply Highpass set to Gaussian at 100%.

Lastly, apply Express Texture choosing Retro Fabric paper with Gray Threshold at 88%, Grain at 72%, and Contrast at 100%. Fade it to 75%.


And here's the final piece ready to add text or anything else you wish.
