Can I do a tilt-shift effect to my photos in iPhoto?

I read yesterday that I can create a tilt-shift effect in iPhoto, but I can't find information on how to do it.  Does anyone know?

Are you referring to the picture frames and text boxes in an iPhoto book?  If so try these key combinations:
You can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size on a page with the following key combinations:
Command + Option +⬆arrow:  increase frame height.
Command + Option +⬇arrow:  decrease frame height.
Command + Option + ➜ arrow:  increase frame width.
Command + Option + ⬅ arrow:  decrease frame width.
To adjust its position on the page use these key combinations:
Command + Control + ➜ arrow:  move frame to right.
Command + Control + ⬅  arrow:  move frame to left.
Command + Control + ⬆ arrow:  rotate frame counter clockwise.
Command + Control + ⬇ arrow:  rotate frame clockwise.
You can conver the standard frame (on the left) to this one (on the right)
If this isn't it there's only the Straighten tool in iPhoto's Edit mode.

  • How can I create a Tilt-shift effect in Elements 13?

    I tried it as I did in Elements 9, but I probably forgot how. It won't work
    Anyone?

    Thks. I have the Dutch version and although in the Netherlands 'Tilt-shift' is a commonly used term, Adobe Netherlands decided to call it 'kantelen en verschuiven', which is a literal translation (very few will understand).

    How to create a Tilt-Shift Effect with Photoshop Touch
    Create the impression of a miniature landscape with this popular photographic technique.
    1. After selecting the "Tilt-Shift Effect" tutorial, press "Begin Tutorial" to start. Choose Adjustments > Saturation.
    2. Change the Saturation to about 67% and tap OK
    3. Tap Add Layer and create a duplicate
    4. Choose Effects > Basic > Gaussian Blur
    5. Set Blur to about 10. Tap OK.
    6. Pinch and zoom out with two fingers to reduce the view to about 50%.
    Tip: Zooming out before you continue to the next step will allow you to see the entire image while creating a gradient mask for the blurred layer.
    7. Tap the & menu, then Add Fade.
    8. Select a vertical gradient and move the lower gradient handle to the bottom of the image.
    9. Tap the Edit Gradient button to alter the gradient
    10. Move the right transparent spot button to the middle. Add another opacity spot by tapping at the right edge of the gradient slider where the moved spot should be.
    Tip: You can remove unwanted gradient spots by dragging them vertically out of the spot area.
    11. Change the new spot Opacity to 100%. The Opacity gradient should vary from 100% to 0% to 100%. Tap OK.
    Tip: Tapping a spot on the gradient bar toggles the Opacity slider on and off.
    12. Tap the back arrow in the top options bar. This will prompt you to save. Press Save to save your project.

    I'm kind of restricted as to the height and position on the indoors shots. I have my eye on positions but it means climbing up on things and getting into corners but, if needs must.
    I was using alpha channels as the angles I've used so far don't lend themselves to making a straight mask. I'll stick with it though, it might look better on just the automated machine with no people.
    Maybe being forced into working with odd angles and positions might give the video something unique over the rest, probably not though. I guess there's only one way to find out.

  • Problem with tilt shift effect

    I have the latest version of Elements 12 and have just started to experiment with the Tilt-Shift Guided Effect.   The problem I'm having is that when I try to change the area of focus, nothing much seems to change in the picture.   Sometimes it seems like the original in-focus area stays in place and I can make small changes elsewhere in the picture.
    I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with Tilt-Shift?
    thanks.

    I think I verified what I was seeing in Guided Mode by going to Expert Mode after trying to alter the focus area.   In expert mode I found a mask for the blur layer - and what I saw were 2 gradients rather than just one.   One of the gradients in the mask was where Elements put the default in-focus area, and the second gradient in the mask was where I tried to move the in-focus area to.   I was expecting to find one gradient on the mask, but instead there were two.  Are others observing this same behavior?  Thanks.

  • I get the message "Can't open picture" when I double on a photo in iphoto

    when I double click on a photo in Iphoto, it states "it can't find the picture", but when I have the disk, it does it with no problem, is that a permission issue on the photo?  These are my wedding photos, so I have full permission by the photographer...Any ideas?

    What is the exact error message?
    In the iPhoto preferences is copy imported items to the iPhoto library checked (default) or have you unchecked it?

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

  • Tilt Shift - Issue in selecting focus area

    I am newbie to PS and trying to create tilt shift effects. I had done this few times but strangely I could not do it anylonger as I face issue in selecting focus and blur areas. I do the following - Go to Quick Mask(Press 'Q') --> Select Gradient (Press 'G') --> Then I draw a vertical line to define the focus area. Usually a relatively darker red color used to appear as a band. But suddenly I see a very vague red color. And when I exit Quick Mask (Press 'Q') again the marching ants selects the entire picture and not the focus and blur areas. I do not know what mistake (without knowing did I press any keys) I made but I see this happen couple of times and was lucky it got resolved automatically. But alas, I am now not sure how to reset it. Any help would be appreciable. I use CS5.1.

    You might check the gradient tool settings, i.e you might have blend mode other than Normal or low opacity.
    You also might just reset the gradient tool by right clicking on the Gradient icon in the tool options bar and clicking Reset Tool and see if that works.

  • How to create stop/start effect for tilt/shift

    Hi I was wondering how to get the animated look I have seen with tilt/shift videos. I want to record my scenes using my Canon 5D Mk2 in video mode rather than use time lapse and increase my shutter count. So after I have shot my video with my Tilt/shift lens I want to create the jittered video effect in FCP, any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    you can maybe have a play with the Video Filters > Video > Strobe effect, see if that gets you where you want to go

  • Can the tilt shift blur filter be used in a smart object?

    can the tilt shift blur filter be used in a smart object?

    I could be wrong, because I don't have PS in front of my, but I'm pretty sure the capability to use those blurs in smart objects was added in CC.

  • Where is the Tilt-Shift Filter in Photoshop CC?

    I can't find it in the Filters menu.
    Has it been removed?

    Still there... Go to Edit>Preferences>Plug ins>Show all Filter Gallery groups and names. Now got to Filter>Blur Gallery>Tilt-Shift

  • The new field blur and tilt shift filters have stopped working

    The new field blur and and tilt shift filters worked a few times but are now greyed out in the menus. Any ideas why? Thanks.

    Did you check the settings Chris mentioned? Your issue sounds like there might be a video card or driver issue, which can disable the GPU related features and give you a lesser version of the blur filters. See this link for some troubleshooting suggestions. See if issues with the video card have disabled - Edit>preferences>performance use graphics processor.  Also check the advanced settings drawing modes. Be sure you have the current driver (system is updated and current on mac or go to the video manufacturer's website for pc) . That is often the cure.
    You might want to copy your system information (photoshop help>system info)  here for us to look at.

  • Tilt shift and other blur adjustment anchors not visible

    I have the latest updates for Adobe Photoshop CC. Using the advanced blur filters, such as Tilt Shift do not show any adjustment anchors. If I am lucky enough to run my mouse cursor over them, I get a changed mouse cursor to indicate I came move them. but the references lines, anchor points...nothing is visible to show me where to make the changes or boundaries for such adjustments. I had hoped this bug would be fixed, but apparently not. I am unable to  find any other references to it on the forums so maybe it is just me.
    I can run my old Photoshop CS6 and they show up just fine. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    Or maybe it might be your GPU driver.
