There is a button at the bottom of this section that I nearly missed called, “Compare”. There is a nice SHARE button as well that can dump your photo straight to Flicker / Facebook /Twitter with a couple clicks. It has a old school vibe to it that like. The start to finish time I spent on this image was about 3 minutes, so be kind.

For the eagle I used the F/8 setting but I edited one up of a butterfly at F/1.4 to show the difference.Īnd there you have it. This blurring draws the eye of the viewer to the sharpest part of the photo. You can move these around as needed to create the effect you like. The next circle slightly blurred and the outer circle even more so. With this tool, what is in the center will remain sharp or in focus. Here, I used the radial option as the original image was slightly out of focus anyway and I wanted to accent the eye. For the purpose of this article, F/22 will have less of an effect on your final image and F/1.4 will have the greatest. You will see options for F/22 to F/1.4 - this denotes the aperture of the lens simulation. The radial option is more like accentuating the bokah that you would get in high end lens.

The linear effect is more the tradition sort of “tilt-shift” that is used by creative types to make real life stills appear to be miniaturized scenes. You have two options to chose from: Radial and Linear. OR – You can use Fotor and get a great result for free. Although, if you are looking for a hardware solution, you could probably do a lot of this with a the new Lensbaby Compser for about $380. A real tilt shift lens will set you back about $1000 and a good lens with a 1.4 apeture will set you back a good penny as well. I own Phorotshop CS5, and yes you can achieve this effect with the blur tool, gradients and layers – but it’s nowhere near as easy. Perhaps that can be addressed in future builds. To use multiple filters, you will need to save your file, and reopen the image and add the new effect. Meaning, if you wanted to chose a “Classic Real-Illusion” filter, as I have here, and then decide you want to add one of the other artsy choices as well, the program will undo the first filter. You will find over 60 preset edits to give your photo a very unique look and feel that your literally take an hour to do in something like Photoshop – without a whole bunch of plug ins. This is where you can take your photo from nice to yowza in a hurry. Here, I added a slight bit of contrast and brightness and decreased the saturation a tad – trying to make the bird pop out a bit.ĮFFECTS, is where most of you will jump straight to. If you hate everything, just click the reset button at the bottom of the program. If you get lost, just hit the undo button to continuously undo edits you have made under a tab. The program uses sliders so you can move around things as much as you like until you are happy. Don’t worry if you don’t know what any of that is. Here you can straighten a crooked images (This is why I crop last.) apply effects like red eye removal and vignette as well as adjust the exposure contrast, saturation etc of the image. Grabbing the edges I moved the crop to place the eye of the bird in the upper center of the grid until it felt more balance. I made a 4×6 crop which is pretty standard for printing. This makes centering is as well as abiding by the rules of the Rule of Thirds rather easy. There is a nice overlay of a 3x 3 grid layout.

You can free form if you like, type in the exact pixel dimensions or simply chose from a number of presets and the program will do the rest for you. I prefer to crop once I have my final edits in place. You don’t have follow the menu steps in order, but for the sake of a walk though it is necessary. The AUTO option works nice, but feel free to click all of the options to see if there is something else you like.

The scenes mode works a little bit like a scene mode on a camera, making predetermined software decisions for you based on you scene or lighting situation you pick. Here, I picked a simple photo of an eagle to see what I could make from it. Even if you know nothing of photography or photo editing, you can quickly start tweaking up an image to make it more pleasing to your needs. Edit is where all the fun stuff is, like adding tone, effects, etc. Collage is meant for layouts of your post-processed, edited pictures into a cool format you can either print or share.
