I was looking at a render of a room that had a beautiful blur added to it, the image was posted on a forum, blur was added in Photoshop and the person who created the image described the process as follows:
____________________________________________________________ ________________ _________________
photoshop – duplicate the layer, copy the layer, create a mask for our new layer, and paste the layer contents in the mask .
So you have 2 layers, both containing the same data, except that the upper one has a mask represented by a grayscale copy of the image. Add the sharpen filter to the top layer, blur the upper layer a bit and change the opacity – voila
************************************************************ **************** *****************
Can someone explain the top line a little bit I am just not getting it (ps I have never used masks before)
Appreciate any info,
Thanks
Tom
