Comment: In this tutorial, you will learn one of the common ways to give depth to your graphics {for example, when you're editing a photo, it's good to blur the background a little bit to draw people's attention to the main point, which is the little girl in the stock I used. ^^} and add a light source. Gah I darkened the background so much that I think it looks kinda off. I hope you guys will have better outcomes than me. T_________T It works best for pics with landscape background like buildings, trees, etc.
