I have used the website to convert these, but better shots most likely could be made by using the software which can be downloaded from http://tiltshift-generator.en.softonic.com/

I'm not sure if this could be done like they have done with a true hi-res photos, but no harm in giving it a try.

later.

Hi.

You have to do some tweaking, of course. I got the idea when I saw a screenshot of miniatures posted here, so I started a search for something that would do this with photos, and voila...it's called Tilt Shift Photography.

That looks really good. Where do you come up with this stuff?

Hi born2see.

I saw a screenshot of a miniature, and I typed this in google search "turning photos into miniatures". It popped into my head so I went with it. That's about it really.

I just wonder allot that's all. :)

So what software are you using? In your other topic you said you'd let us know. Also it implies it has to be done with a camera. I guess in today's digital world you don't need a physical camera anymore.
