The software supports three different tilt-shift effect modes. Use the dropdown box on top of the controls panel on the right side of TiltShiftEasy to select your preferred mode.
Horizontal is the most common effect, often used for landscape picures.
For some scenes the Vertical effect is an advantage.
The Radial effect could be a good choice for family photos.
You can change all effect settings over the slider controls on the right side.
Set the strenght of the background blur over the "Background blur" slider to get a nice defocusing effect.
Set the center of view, the sharp drawn area, over the "Position" slider.
Adjust the range of the sharp drawn area with the "Range" slider.
For some pictures it is helpful to add a slight angle to the tilt-shift effect.
Make the photo look more like a miniature model by adjusting the color with "Colorize image".
Add a slight bloom effect to the foreground of your image to make it look more toy-like.
You can switch between your original image and the effect-preview with "Show original / Show effect". Use "Hide markers / Show markers" to toggle the marker lines.
Click 'Options' in the header menu of TiltShiftEasy to change default language, or check for the latest updates.
