Applications

Focal circle

To create a circle overlay that emphasizes the content inside the circle, this methodology was used:

A focal circle effect used to emphasize Sidon's "title card" from Tears of the Kingdom

1. Create a circle of the desired color (in this case, the #f9ae00 "gold" was used). This circle was created with the ellipse select tool and its proportions were equivalent on each axis so that the circle would not be oblong.
2. A #000000 black overlay was created to assist with the focus by darkening the subject outside of the circle. To do this, select the circle, shrink the selection by a couple pixels, and then invert the selection.
   
   Fill in the space and then reduce the opacity to 30% (this will change depending on the brightness of the image).
   
   The layer for this should sit underneath the circle but above the base image.
   
   This can also be done with white, gray, or another color instead.
3. Optionally, you can also blur the base image outside of the overlay's circle by selecting the circle, shrinking the selection by a couple pixels, then inverting the selection and filtering the selection on the base image layer with a lens blur with a radius of 4.
   
   This can help to clarify the focal point further.
4. To turn the circle into a ring shape, select the circle and shrink it by 10 pixels (or however many are appropriate for the image). Delete the selection.
5. For a drop shadow, select the ring shape and create a new layer below it. Increase the selection by 4 pixels (as appropriate) then fill with #000000 black. Filter this layer with a lens blur with a radius of 10.
