Recreating The Tilt Shift Effect in Photoshop

I was recently asked about recreating the Tilt Shift effect in Photoshop. Looking back through TipSquirrel.com I realised that we’d covered it a couple of times, but never as a video.

  1. Question: should the blur effect increase with increase of distance? In this photograph, should the fields at the top of the image be less in focus than the houses close by the trucks?

    Thanks,

  2. Hi Dmitri,
    We are adding a little variance to the blur with the reflected gradient. Making the gradient bigger would increase the transition period. The effect we’re after here is to make the image look like a miniature, so the distance of the whole image, if it were a model, wouldn’t be that great to start with. I guess, what I’m saying is that it’s all relative, the more depth you want to the picture the more transition in your lens blur gradient.
