Hey!  
So I am using the custom depth node in a post processing material. Working super nice for some effects but I am struggling to figure out how to get a soft fade between. If i use an If node then there is always a harsh line between the different depths, and I would love to find a way to have a smooth fade between! Below is a picture of the example with one part of the image desaturated and the rest normal. And then the node tree for my PP material!  
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
