Depth

What this collection is for

Once the segmenter carves the subject away from the plate, the image stops being flat. The person stands here; the world stands there; and you can put rain, fog, drift, or a whole rebuilt set between them. This is the difference between a picture and a place.

Use this collection to give a portrait somewhere to be — behind the eyes, around the shoulders, receding past the edge of frame. Every preset here needs a depth pass: run Person extraction or import a depth layer first, or the background and subject will have nothing to stand apart on.

What a preset actually is

A preset is a layered recipe, not a black box. Load one and you see exactly what it bound — every effect, its intensity, its target — and you can edit any of it. These were designed by someone making a particular kind of look on purpose.

The presets

• depth-matrix-operator — the subject in front, code raining down the world behind them.
• depth-dream-diorama — a face set into a soft handmade stage, everything behind it slightly unreal.
• depth-card-stack-reel — the scene split into sliding planes like cards fanned and pulled.
• depth-vertigo-punch — the background lunging while the subject stays, dread with a fist in it.
• depth-noir-stage — the figure lit on a dark set, depth swallowed by shadow behind.
• depth-hologram-portrait — the subject projected and floating, the world receding into interference.
• depth-surveillance-window — watched through glass, the background a room you are not in.
• depth-cyber-shrine — the face elevated like an icon, neon architecture stacked behind it.
• depth-mobile-parallax — the gentle layered drift of a phone tilted in the hand.
• depth-ghost-behind — something present in the background that the subject hasn't turned to see.
• depth-glass-city — a skyline of refracting towers receding behind the shoulders.
• depth-layer-peel-hit — the planes of the scene peeling off on a sharp beat.
• depth-orbit-poster — the background swinging around the subject like a one-sheet in motion.
• depth-echo-chamber — the figure repeating away into the distance, smaller and softer each time.
• depth-paper-theater — a cut-paper proscenium, the subject the only thing not made of card.
• foreground-drift — the subject easing forward while the world holds, a slow lean toward the viewer.
• z-flicker-memory — depth stuttering in and out, a recollection that won't stay fixed.
• behind-rain — weather falling strictly behind the subject, dry in front, drenched beyond.
• depth-static-floor — the figure standing on a ground of noise, the world below dissolving.
• z-shimmer-stack — layered planes catching light and trembling, depth made of foil.
• depth-ladder-reveal — the background stepping back rung by rung to uncover the subject.
• depth-scan-stairs-cyber — a scanning line climbing the depth like neon stairs behind the figure.
• depth-freeze-cut — the subject held while the background snaps to a hard stop.
• slice-occlusion-glitch — the seam between subject and world tearing into bands of error.
• backplate-glow-safe — a clean halo of light behind the subject, the background kept calm and lifted.
• depth-rim-portrait — a rim of light tracing the edge where subject leaves world, classic and quiet.
• depth-hinge-reel — the scene folding open on a hinge, foreground swinging away from back.
• parallax-counterspin-poster — foreground and background turning against each other, a graphic vertigo.
• occlusion-light-leak-cinema — light bleeding through the gap behind the subject, a leak in the seam.
• depth-refraction-glass — the background bent through glass, the subject left untouched and clear.
• depth-shadow-cast-noir — the subject throwing a long shadow into the world behind, hard and theatrical.

How to load one

Presets load from the Presets panel in the editor — loading one drops its full layer stack onto the timeline ready to edit; each of these needs a depth pass first, so run Person extraction or import a depth layer before you load them.
