Reduce the size of the second character and place it into the background, as shown in Figure 8.36. Figure 8.36 Reduce the size of the second character and place it in the background14. Alter your background layer into a smart filter (choose Filters > Smart Filter) and apply a Gaussian blur (choose Blur > Gaussian Blur), as shown in Figure 8.37. The goal is to establish a shallow depth of field so that you can focus your attention on the character in the foreground. This also creates a greater sense of depth.15. Repeat Step 14, applying the same technique to the duplicated background layer currently designated as layer 1 in Figure 8.38.16. You need the foreground elements to be in sharp focus, so apply a gradient mask to the smart filter in layer 1 so that the gradient starts with black to the left and ends with white to the right. This will give the effect of the depth of focus falling off toward the background, as shown in Figure 8.39.17. Because the figure in the background is standing in sunlight, you need to brighten him up a bit by applying a Levels adjustment layer as a clipping path. See Figure 8.40.

Simply right-click on the selected layers and choose Convert to Smart Object from the submenu, as shown in Figure 8.41. Figure 8.41 Convert theselected layers to smart objects 18. Once you have created the smart object, apply a Gaussian blur so that the figure appears to integrate into the out-of-focus areas of the background content. See Figure 8.42. 19. The rear character appears to be floating off of the ground because there is no shadow to provide a visual anchoring point. So, click and release on the layer to cre- ate a selection from the pixels on the layer. See Figure 8.43. 20. With this selection still active, create a new layer and fill it with black. Next, use ...
