Tilt-Shift Miniature
A narrow band of sharpness with blurred top and bottom fakes the shallow focus of a macro lens, so real scenes look like toy models. Boosted color and high viewpoint sell the illusion.
Spot it
- 01Sharp central band
- 02Blurred top and bottom
- 03Saturated toy-like color
Why it happens
Blur strength increases with distance from a chosen horizontal focus band, and saturation and contrast are boosted, mimicking a tilted lens focused on a thin plane.

Image edit prompt“Give this image a tilt-shift miniature look: a thin sharp horizontal band in focus, strong smooth blur at the top and bottom, boosted saturation and contrast, bright toy-like colors, as if photographing a tiny model from above. Keep the original subject and composition.”
