Many people face problems with automatic or semi-automatic depth map generation. They may contain sharp edges or some excessive micro relief. High-textured areas may turn into extra micro relief on a depth map and cause artifacts for scenes with big parallax. YUVsoft Depth Alignment brush for Adobe After Effects provides an easy solution for inaccurate depth map correcting and smoothing.
