As Peter wrote, that the blur is "unnatural" and it reveals the fake. I got an idea (I think). Would it be possible to do this half way manually by taking a macro from the backward leant print or dia and then correct the disturbed perspective with Photoshop?

Reijo, Dammit, you started me thinking about it. The only way I can think of to 'construct' the depth of field would be to make a plan view of the picture based on distances like A and B, chose a focus plane and then add depth of field. Here's a quick sketch of what I mean using Michael's Southern Cross Station picture Then you could take reference points and mark the focused distance and depth of field in the original picture, and add blur zones front and back. The blur zones might have to be in two parts each, more blur being added the further you get from the focused distance. You'd have to work with layers and feather the edges a fair amount (say 20-25 pixels?) to make the transition smooth. OK, I know, I've probably played fast and loose with the rules(?) of monocular vision perspective (well, college was a long time ago!). Anyone who knows more about them could drive a wagon and six horses through the holes, but it's a thought. But even if it worked ... OMG, what a lot of work to fake one picture. Even sketching the idea took long enough! I ain't gonna try it for real ! . PeterW
