I think that confirms there is no (obvious) depth data in the DNG so I've decided to give up on that for now because exiftool has made another way obvious... I realised depth data can be extracted from the JPEG using exiftool and used alongside the DNG in Photo. My first attempt at extracting the data is partially successful but then I've gone back to photopea.com to get a good copy just to see what I can do with it once extracted. So I have a greyscale JPEG in one Photo tab and the DNG in another and tried the following: 1) added gaussian blur layer on DNG 2) copied/pasted jpeg map as 3rd layer 3) then rasterised to layer mask and put as child to blur layer It comes out pretty good, although I feel as though I should be able to paste the jpeg layer as the mask within the blur layer itself, rather than adding a mask to the blur layer... I'm sure this is in a youtube tutorial. It makes the 'black' in the mask is near and in focus, greys midway focus and white blurred - like a normal mask.... I can invert this and get the background in focus but can you suggest how I can pick a mid-point/mid-grey as the point that has focus? Thanks a lot for your help getting this far...

OK. I've put it up as a zip which would hopefully reveal any corruption. I can open it fine in Photo. The 2 jpegs do have depth maps when I open them in https://www.photopea.com/ I'm still trying to confirm with nokia that the DNGs do have depth data but I'm not sure of any apps that can confirm it... I'm wondering whether the solution will end up as a photoshop plugin which may work in Photo. IMG_20191030_104312.zip

Thanks, I do have AP and I did notice the HEIF announcement... I found a website to convert; https://convertio.co/dng-heif/ but it converted a 40Mb to a 300K image so don't have a lot of confidence in it. With heif, jpg or dng - nothing is jumping out as a depth map channel or mask, and the only photoshop method I saw and tried was applying a lens blur and selecting 'depth map'. Thanks for the offer - I have attached 2 jpegs showing the point of focus differences achieved within the phone app, and a dng. Oh, and a heif file. It may be worth pointing out that the phone app can refocus the JPGs, but it doesn't give that option for the DNGs, and there's very little information that this is even possible. It'd be nice to confirm if the data is within the raw photo though, for future editing. IMG_20191030_104312.dng IMG_20191029_120154.heif

Hi, I recently bought a Nokia 9 pureview phone which creates DNG and JPG "with depthmap"... can I import either into Photo and retain/use the depth map? Thanks,

Ah thanks Gabriel - so simple!

Hi, I'm on the 10 day trial without any previous experience of photo editing. I'm going through 'Refining selections' on youtube (below) The difficulty I'm having is if I right-click the layer mask I don't get 'refine edges' as an option. Noticeably both 'background' and '(Mask)' are blue so I guess I need to deselect the background before a contextual 'right click menu' will work, but not sure how. A second question - at the beginning they say 'a red overlay by default' which implies you can change that colour - I realise you can select one of the dropdowns but I'd like to have a semi-transparent blue or yellow rather than red - is that possible? I suspect not... Thanks, https://youtu.be/RXKEqOMK-bo?t=3m26s
