Quote - You can use it to create DOF in an image by using the depth map as a mask in photoshop or psp. Start with your color image, duplicate it on another layer, apply a blur (e.g. gaussian) and then apply the depth map as a mask to the blurred layer. Adjust the opacity of the blur layer to taste.

Ok, I need a step by step of this process. Button by button as it NEVER seems to work for me.  I cant figure out how to load the depth map AS the mask. I have a blurred layer, apply a mask, and go to channels, it's simply black.  I cant copy/paste my depth map there.  I see no option to load a file. Grrrrrrrrrr.
