Optics 2026 : Masks : Depth Map ML
Depth Map ML analyzes an image and determines how far away each part of the scene is and creates a mask according to a particular depth level.
Leverage the depth map to selectively apply filter effects--such as blur or color correction--based on scene depth. This allows for more nuanced adjustments in both the Depth of Field and Color Correct filters.
Go to the Depth Map ML tutorial to see how it works.
Mask Creation
Near Depth
Sets the exact position of the near depth using the bottom right on-screen point control.
Far Depth
Sets the exact position of the far depth using the top left on-screen point control.
Near Clip
Sets the level of the near depth. A value of 1 is all the way forward and 0 is all the way back.
Far Clip
Sets the level of the far depth. A value of 1 is all the way forward and 0 is all the way back.
Gamma
Determines how bright or dark midtones appear.
