Hyper Landscape Photoshop Tutorial Open a landscape photo into Photoshop. Make sure that the landscape has a horizon with nothing covering it.  Depth of field simulation Add a new layer by going to Layer> New Layer. Name this layer Background Blur.  Add a layer mask to the Background Blur layer. To do this, go to Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Reveal All.  Right now you'll have the layer mask selected. Select back the layer by clicking on the thumbnail (not the layer mask thumbnail) in the layer. Now add a Gaussian Blur filter to the Background Blur layer and your image should blur. If you don't see anything happen, make sure that you have the Background Blur layer selected and not the layer mask.  Now select back the layer mask and use the Gradient Tool with the Black and White gradient. Start from a little bit above the horizon and draw a line a little bit below the horizon. The top of the horizon should now be blurry and the bottom should be sharp. If you got it the other way around (Bottom blurry, top sharp), press Ctrl+I or go to Image> Adjustments> Invert and this problem will be fixed.
