Creating Depth.

Whenever I try to make Depth with the stock with the Sharpening and Blurring Tool it dosn't look like it has much depth. I don't really know how to add depth so I need one of you Pro's to help me. Please, I'm really having some trouble. :S

I'm not a real pro.
But I can help a little bit...

One way to create depth is to take a C4d, now do not shrink it if it is large, you dont need to. Well anyway, take part of the c4d that has a circular type motion to it, and put it under your render. next, take another part of the c4d on a new layer and either set it to overlay and duplicate it until it looks nice, or you can just lower the opacity of the layer until you like the way it looks.

Another way to create a lot of depth is to make sure that your render blends well with your backround well, which you can do by duplicating the render, and on the bottom layer, feather it at 50, press Ctrl I, and than go Edit>Clear, now delete the top layer.

I hope I helped.

Another way is to use this tut, I found it very usefull...

Depending on your sig, it may add some depth.

I use Photoshop and I said Stock. I think I'll just you the blur tool, dodge tool, sponge tool, etc. for now on. Thanks anyway.

I would say add alot of layers with fx really just blur some stuff, shrapen play around really. ;)

Yeah, thats what I thought.

1. Duplicate the tag.
2. On the duplicated layer, blur the entire sig.
3. Still on the duplicated layer, with a transparent radial gradient, remove the blurred area off the focal.
4. On the original tag layer, sharpen with your preferred settings. (I usually go maximum but whatever)

Would that work on Paint.net, Yippiyo?

Yes; since I have and only use paint.net.

Try a black and white gradient map layer and set it to luminosity or apply the image, go to filters>Others>High pass and set it to soft light. Those are the only two ways I know so far. XD
