Cinematic Focus Photo Effect

This cinematic photo effect softens sharp edges with dreamlike haze, while dialing up saturation and contrast for a sunlit, almost mythic quality. The look falls somewhere between film still and painted memory — rich in detail, but gauzy around the edges.

Well-suited for editorial portraits, costume shoots, fashion campaigns, fantasy concept art, music visuals, historical drama promos, and gallery prints. Use it to lend realism a surreal edge, or to shift a sharp digital capture into something more emotionally charged and story-driven. The set includes two high-resolution PSD files (vertical and horizontal formats), equipped with Smart Object layers for fast, nondestructive editing.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
