Create a Tilt-shift Blur in Photoshop CS6

Keith@Blogfreakz — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 05:42:31 +0000

You don’t need to shell out a hefty amount of your hard-earned dough for those tilt-shift camera lenses just to give your pictures that miniature look. All you need is a very capable photo editing software like Photoshop CS6 to create the effect.

That’s where Rafiq Elmansy’s tutorial would come in very handy! The process isn’t as difficult nor complex as one might think. On the contrary, it’s as simple as applying a preset filter, unless of course you’re using another version of Photoshop.

You can take a look at his tutorial HERE.

With the amount of control Photoshop CS6 gives you in tweaking the variables, it almost requires little to no effort to come up with a near-perfect result. All it really boils down to is your attention to detail. Do it right and it’ll be hard for anyone to tell the difference between a picture that’s done with Photoshop and another that’s done using a lens.
