Tiltshift Generator helps you fake tilt-shift images in your browser

Tiltshift Generator

Tilt-shift photography, if you haven't heard of it, is a technique that results in only one small area of a photo being in focus. This tight area of focus often results in the photo appearing to be made up of miniatures, rather than real people and objects. The effect typically requires a special (and often expensive) tilt-shift optical lens. If you don't have the money for the real thing, or just want to play with the effect, check out Tiltshift Generator.

The Tiltshift Generator website hosts a Flash application that will allow you to open any image that is local on your file system, then apply effects that will approximate the tilt-shift effect. The default settings out of the gate are quite good, but if you're not happy with the results there are a number of tweaks you can make to get just the effect you're looking for. You can also apply the effect to portraits, to really focus in on the subject matter. While not a traditional use of a tilt-shift camera, the effect when using Tiltshift Generator on this type of photo is quite nice.

In addition to being a website, Tiltshift Generator is available as an Adobe AIR free cross-platform application, so you can take your tilt-shifting offline.
