Tips for Best Results

  1. Use Elevated Angles

    • Shooting from a higher perspective works best for achieving a convincing miniature effect.

  2. Focus on Simplicity

    • Choose scenes with clear separation between foreground and background elements for maximum tilt-shift impact.

  3. Enhance Vibrancy

    • Increase color saturation (Color slider) to create the illusion of a toy-like, painted environment.

  4. Combine with Zoom

    • Use the zoom options (e.g., 1x, 2x) for framing tighter shots with a focused tilt-shift area.
