Same five-step photo treatment strip with step two highlighted in full clarity while the other four frames stay dimmed.
Summary
The five-step "Monzo magic" treatment strip with the second frame and its caption brought to full clarity while the surrounding four stay greyed back.
Visual description
Off-white background. Top-left pill "Art direction", page "49" top-right. The "Monzo magic" heading and intro repeat upper-left. The same row of five portrait frames of the smiling beach subject runs across the lower half. Here the second frame is rendered sharp and bright with its caption ("Step 2: Duplicate image layer, add Gaussian Blur (17) and mask out key areas. Make layer Lighten Colour blend mode and 50% opacity") set in solid black, while steps 1, 3, 4 and 5 and their captions are faded to a pale grey. The active step pops out of the dimmed row.
Key takeaway
The build-sequence convention: keep the full process row fixed and reveal one step at a time by darkening its frame and caption while greying the rest. It walks an audience through a multi-step method without changing the layout.
Reuse notes
Part of a five-slide build of the same process strip, one slide per highlighted step. Reusable focus pattern for any step-through or tutorial. Depends on a clear visible difference between the active and dimmed states.
