Abstract
Methods and systems for generating a shallow depth of field effect for a digitally captured image are provided. At least one region of interest (ROI) and at least one non-interest region are defined in the captured image. A difference in focus or object distance is calculated between the ROI and each non-interest region. A degree of blur is applied to each non-interest region, based on the calculated difference in focus or object distance.
