How To Create Amazing Tilt-Shift Photos Tutorial Part #1 by Myah Bailey

Step 1: Photo Selection

When choosing a photograph for the tilt-shift effect, bear in mind that you want to give the impression of a miniature model. Miniature models are usually viewed from above so try and choose a photo with a higher point of view. Take out any imperfection in the image such as graffiti or trash. Always make a copy of you cleaned up image so that if you want to use a layer mask later it will match. 

 Make sure to keep checking back, step #2 will be posted later this week.
