![]() ![]() The full blur area (3) gets a 100% blur effect, so all the image parts outside the dashed lines are 100% blurred. The blur grows progressively from the solid lines toward the dashed ones, where it reaches its full strength. The transition area (2) is the area between the solid and dashed lines. This area is not affected by the blur amount at all, so it stays sharp and in focus. The protected area (1) is the area between the center pin and the solid lines. STEP FIVE: There are three areas controlled by the lines. Click the Remove All Pins icon (curved arrow) in the Options Bar to remove all the blur pins on the image. Tip: You can press the P key to turn the Preview on and off. When unchecked, you can view the original image without any blur. ![]() When checked, Preview shows the result of any changes in the blur filter's settings. If this box is checked, the preview might be rendered a bit slower, depending on your device. High Quality controls the rendering quality of the preview. STEP FOUR: There are a couple more controls in the Options Bar that might come in handy, as well. STEP THREE: At the right of the screen, there are two panels: The main Blur Tools panel at the top with the Tilt-Shift filter's options and controls, and the Blur Effects panel at the bottom, with some extra options and settings for the bokeh effect. You'll see a pin in the center of the image with a couple of solid and dashed lines above and below it. This will open the Blur Gallery and show the effect of the default filter values on the image. STEP TWO: Go to Filter>Blur Gallery>Tilt-Shift. Smart objects are great when using filters, as they make the applied filters editable at any time. Alternatively, you can select that layer and go to Filter>Convert for Smart Filters. STEP ONE: Open the Toward Brooklyn image, Right-click the Background layer, and choose Convert to Smart Object. Working With Pins and Modifying the Blur and Transition Areas The image below was chosen to showcase the effect and the bokeh. The photo should also be in focus and simple but interesting. This effect works best with photos taken from above, looking downward with an angle on the subject that will be in focus. ![]() ![]() In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use the Tilt-Shift filter to achieve the miniature effect and add a bokeh effect. That's achieved by selectively focusing and defocusing parts of the image through manual tilting and shifting the camera lens, creating a shallow depth of field that's similar to macro photography. Tilt-shift photography is a way of giving subjects of a photo a miniature look. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.The Tilt-Shift Blur is the third of the five blur filters in the Blur Gallery available in Photoshop CC and later, but it was first introduced as one of three filters in Photoshop CS6. If you're a Harry Potter fan you'll recognize the train.īut don't feel constrained by Gaussian Blur and a Reflected Gradient - here's one that isn't exactly tilt-shift but used Motion Blur and selectively painting out the blur on the layer mask - I'm calling it "Get Me to the Church on Time" Here's one of mine with the effect applied:Īnd here's one done with an image I found on-line - credit to Old train by 96tommy /7652752902/. If you want to do it from scratch, which is also very easy and a bit more flexible, here's a tutorial for PSE PSE 11 Tilt-Shift Tutorialįinding a good starter image is part of the challenge here. In Elements it's under Guided>Camera Effects and in Photoshop it's under Filter>Blur Gallery. This one is very easy to do and in both recent Elements and Photoshop you can find it as a built-in Effect. Wow! Creative Effects is !00! Hard to top #99 but lets try the Tilt-Shift Effect. ![]()
