Depth map
A grayscale representation of spatial distance within an image, where pixel intensity/luminance correlates to the proximity of objects relative to the camera lens.
Key Applications
- Advanced Photo Adjustments: Utilized in photoshop to execute precise, realistic 3D-style manipulations.
- Depth Masking: Acts as a “hidden depth mask” to simulate 3D effects and object separation in 2D imagery.
- Lens Simulation: Serves as the essential data source for driving the Lens Blur tool in camera-raw and lightroom.
