Hi,

I'm trying to fake DOF in PS CS5 with lens blur using a gradient. This is a well known technique. However, the results are quite ugly. It seems that the transition between the sharp and the blurred areas are not smooth at all.

Check out the attached image. This is magnified to 300%. What you see is supposed to be a smooth gradual lens blur, but it clearly shows a stepping effect. It can be very obvious and distracting especially when there is some text in the image.

Do you know a way to make it smooth? Is there another technique to fake DOF more realistically?

Thanks!
