YES- i know ive asked this b4 but the replies i had didnt work. Im told that u can add the distance render to a layer (above the colour render) u then do somenthing to this layer (makeit a alpha layer or somenthing...) and then apply the gausian blur. Photoshop then applies the blur based on the darkness/lightness of the distance render layer. I have Photoshop 5.5 - and i cant sus this technique out! Can anyone please help with clear details or with a tutorial link that realy works! Thanx in advance 4 any help. Steve.
