Hi all

I have recently started using a Canon Rebel XT with the kit lens. I have been playing around mainly with just the auto settings, and also really interested in the Depth of field pictures. I have been doing this with the ADEP setting on the XT, sometimes I can get it great, sometimes not. It seems I have to focus all the points in the view find on the subject and everythng else will be blured/out of foucs. I want to know how i can just get say a person on the right side of the fram in focus then everything else in the background and the left ou of foucs.?

Also, I would like to know how you can do the opposite, forground in focus, but the backgroun in focus? Is thisusualy done after the fact on photoshop or someting?

Any tips on how to take great looking shot with the XT would be great.

Thanks
