[PS]How to make images look like miniatures[EASY AS PIE] - Minnesota Nice - Apr 20, 2011
How to make images look like miniatures!
EXAMPLES:
Spoiler (Click to View)
Lets get started!
STEP ONE:
Find an image that would work well, one's that are usually a higher angle work better because that's how miniatures look. Use the two I chose as a reference.
STEP TWO:
Select "Quick Mask Mode" (The square with the circle in it!)

STEP THREE:
Select the "Reflected" gradient from the menu and make the image look like so:

Then exit quick mask mode by clicking the circle in the square again.
*Note the colors for the gradient should be black and white.
STEP FOUR:
Go to Filter>Blur>Lens Blur.

Looks just like it was produced on a tilt and shift lens :)
Try this website out, it gives the same effects but without the hassle of doing it yourself.
