The comparison in utilizing multiple tools to emphasize depth of field in a image was new method to me. In my experience using the camera and leveling the apeture seemed more difficult as the lighting is affected as you level the apeture making harder to take the shot. As oppose to utilizing the blur gallery tool in photoshop, made the process easier by not only giving many optional blur types but converting the image into a smart object allowing you to transform the image with flexibity.
