Once your values are set you can set your brush size - using the selection buttons or the slider. Then go ahead and draw your gradient across your image.

Refining Your Depth Map Selections

If you switch back to the Brush mode (uncheck the Use Gradient Brush box) this will allow you to access the grayscale color picker.

This tool makes it easy to pick the depth value based on the adjacent region’s depth value, eliminating the guessing game in both picking a desired depth value and in selecting the focus area based on the Depth value.

So, in short, if you want to paint an area in a certain tone, use the picker-tool (dropper icon) to click on the area, the correct depth-value will be selected.

The depth map feature is accessible when you choose Bokeh SLR or Bokeh Selective from the Effects menu.

Using the Smart Brush

When using the Smart Brush feature it is best to first create gradient. After that you can make more defined selections in your image.

To use the gradient feature, you will need to select your starting and ending values. The values range from 0-255 (near to far respectively). You can set the values using the default buttons or by moving the

This group show celebrates the love LightBox has for photographic images made with plastic “toy” cameras. LightBox established this show to celebrate the gallery’s anniversary. LightBox is looking for pure Toy Camera Photography and will consider images shot with film only, using plastic, pinhole, box or homemade cameras. No digital photography will be considered. This year we are pleased to announce our Juror is Becky Ramotowski, aka. Astro Beck Becky is the founder of World Toy Camera Day. She has been a photo enthusiast since the age of six when she was given her first camera, an Imperial Mark XII, to take on a road trip across the southwestern USA and up the west coast to Seattle. Her "official" interest in toy cameras came in 2002 after seeing quirky photos made with Holgas and Dianas at a photo lab in Texas where she bought her first Holga. "The very first photo I made with my Holga was one I really liked of a statue of “Nike of Samothrace” in a run-down park in San Antonio, Texas. It was the flawed statue and the run-down park full of weeds and abandonment that lured me in and set the hook for using toy cameras. The photo was vignetted and not quite perfectly focused that just felt at home.

An international exhibition, the exhibit contained toy camera images from artists as local as Somerville and as distant as England and Italy.

Berstler is also part of the Somerville Toy Camera Festival Organizing Commit- tee. Rosenblatt connected by email with one Italian toy camera photographer named Andrea Buzzichelli. She lives in Tuscany, Italy with her family and truly enjoys working with toy cameras to achieve “rather by chance” images on film. An informative emailed interview about Buzzichelli and her fascinating analog photography resulted from Rosenblatt’s correspon- dences with Buzzichelli and may be read in the following online pages: WHLR: What is your name?
