[edit] Delta channel

I've heard things about a "delta channel" or "z-depth channel", which represents the distance between the pixel's source and the viewer/camera. It effectively shows where the pixels are located in 3D space.

  • It can allow a compositor to remove the background from an image, akin to color keying, and overlay the trimmed image on another background.
  • An image editor can use it to alter depth-of-field, blurring or sharpening/deconvoluting selected ranges.
