Giveaway of the Day - Tilt Shift Generator

January 8, 2013
One of the best programs for creating photos with a tilt-shift miniature effect. You can find a lot of applications that claim to apply similar effect to images, still most often the algorithm is improper, e.g. they use Gaussian blur instead of much more complex Lens (optical) blur which produces an effect identical to real bokeh; or they apply semi-transparent overlay, using wrong type of transition from focused to blurred areas, etc.

Tilt Shift Generator renders the original image pixel-by-pixel with the highest accuracy. This utility offers additional settings thanks to which the result images compare well with photos taken using high-priced “tilt and shift” wide angle lens. Tilt Shift Generator surpass Photoshop tools and popular cameras’ built in filters by result.

Have you tried it? I read the reviews and looked at the thumbs up and down, and it didn't seem as if it was particularly anything that was all that different.

Thanks . . .

I gave it a shot. Nothing to compare it to, but it's pretty simple and gets the job done. I'll post an example in a bit (remind me if I forget).

Played with it a little and does some interesting stuff, but not near the same variety as what you would get on a true bellows sheet film box camera and physical lens shift/tilt.

Well its name would imply it. At least to anyone that actually knows what the terms mean.

And their description alludes to the fact it can undo the the perspective needle effect of shooting tall buildings, but haven't found an image to test that on... KW is a little lacking for skyscrapers.
