Depth Mask
Keeps the range of distances in focus free of a filter. Mist, Cross, Iris and Directional Blur each have their own.
Left is Depth Mask off, right is on. With it on, Mist, Cross, Iris and Directional Blur do not touch the person in focus.

 Follow VL2 Focus |
When on, follows the VirtualLens 2 focus (AF / MF). When off, uses the distance set in "Distance" | ON |
 Distance |

With Leak raised, the glow around the subject spills over its outline, as with a real filter. The protected subject itself does not glow or haze.
With Preview Mask on, the protected range is shown in white.
When you move Reverse, Distance, Width, Feather or Follow VL2 Focus, the range in focus is shown with purple stripes for about 2 seconds. It appears only on the VirtualLens 2 screen, not in photos.
