Tilt Shift Photoshop Tutorial: How to Make Fake Miniature Scenes I discovered the Tilt Shift technique perusing the photography of Drew Wilson , an uber talented young photographer here in Sarasota. I asked him about the process and he was kind enough to share it with me. Tilt shift lenses focus on a single part of the photo and shift (blur) the surrounding area to create an optical illusion of miniaturized scenery. Real tilt shift lenses are quite expensive, but a similar effect can be achieved by using Photoshop after you take the photo. Tilt shift photographs create an optical illusion that makes scenes appear as if they are actually miniature models (like your uncle’s train set). UPDATE: Many of you have asked if there is a plug in or Tilt Shift software that will do this. Here is my (and Drew’s) Photoshop tutorial for creating fake tilt shift photos. Taking the photo. Go back into “Standard Mask Mode”.In Photoshop CS2 or CS3 go to Filter > Blur > Lens Blur (Or if you have Photoshop 7.0 you can use Gaussian Blur). photo credit: Brandon Godfrey

These features are Auto-Align and Auto-Blend, and this will change the way we take photographs as we know it. Typically to capture shots which are required for a panorama, you need to take shots which revolve around an axis as shown in the diagram below: Panorama RotationImage courtesy of Apple With these two new features in Adobe Photoshop CS3, the tripod is no longer needed.
