What does the estimated depth represent?

It is the estimated near-to-far order of things within this photograph, not measured distance or a rebuilt 3D scene. Areas estimated as farther receive more haze; the cleanup step removes tiny isolated depth mistakes but cannot resolve genuinely ambiguous glass, reflections, smoke, hair, foliage, or overlapping surfaces.

Can the fog reshape or duplicate my subject?

No. The shape of everything stays the same: each pixel is only blended in place with one haze color. No face, arm, body, object, or background pixel is moved, copied elsewhere, stretched, repainted, or generated, and transparency is kept in the lossless PNG. A wrong depth estimate can change where haze appears, but it cannot deform a face or body.

About the Atmospheric Depth Fog effect

Atmospheric Depth Fog estimates how far each part of your photo is from the camera and cleans up tiny isolated depth specks. Farther areas then fade into soft, natural-looking haze, the way distant hills look paler on a hazy day, using one restrained haze color taken from your photo and kept close to neutral; the nearest areas stay exactly as photographed. Intensity changes how dense the haze really is instead of fading a finished image over the original. Each pixel is only blended in place with that one haze color: nothing is moved, copied, stretched, repainted, or generated, so faces, arms, objects, framing, and transparency stay exactly where they were. Larger uploads may be resized proportionally before depth analysis: free results are delivered at web size, and very large photos are scaled down first. The result is a lossless PNG.

How it works

Processing

Atmospheric Depth Fog uses an AI action. Any separate allowance is shown before this effect starts processing.

Best for

landscapes, mountain and valley views, layered cityscapes, architecture, and outdoor scenes with clear foreground-to-distance separation.

Less suited to: flat or close-up scenes, glass, mirrors, reflections, smoke, fine hair or foliage, and images where depth is hard to judge from one photo; a wrong depth estimate can place haze on the wrong surface even though nothing changes shape.
