Creating a Tilt-Shift Effect Using Funky Focusįor those wanting to create depth of field or a tilt-shift effect in a jiffy, the Funky Focus tool is just the thing! You’ll find it in the Edit menu of the Photo Editor, under the Blur & Smooth section. Subtle blurring around this point then adds dimension and creates the illusion of everything else fading into the distance. However, if it’s the tilt-shift effect you’re after, the trick is to choose a focal point in your image. For example, when you want to overlay an image with a quote or business logo for social media, but want to remove hard lines and distracting detail to truly make these elements pop. Sure, there are times when you will need to blur your entire image. This effect sharply focuses on a certain element in the foreground, while blurring everything in the middle ground and background to make them appear further away.īlur plays an important role in achieving the tilt-shift effect (remember how areas of the image must be blurred to create depth of field, a vital element in the tilt-shift effect?), but here’s the thing: being overzealous with the Blur tool will create an entirely different effect. We’re going to introduce you to the two most common uses: tilt-shift and background blur.įirstly, what is the "tilt-shift" effect? It’s a look that’s achieved when photographers use a large aperture lens, creating a shallow depth of field (a.k.a., the perceived distance between a scene’s foreground and background).
