Common Questions
Tilt-shift is a selective focus technique that makes real scenes look like miniature models. By controlling where the focus plane falls and how aggressively the blur transitions, you create that distinctive "toy world" aesthetic. Professional tilt-shift lenses cost thousands of dollars and require technical expertise. Tiltique recreates this optical effect digitally on any photo.
Touch anywhere on your photo to place the focus ring — this is your "sweet spot" where everything stays sharp. Drag it around in real time to find the perfect composition. You can also tilt the ellipse to any angle and squeeze it into a narrow band for that classic architectural miniature look. The blur responds instantly as you adjust.
Classic: Clean, balanced tilt-shift with a circular sweet spot and natural falloff. Velour: Wide soft focus with warm glow — painterly and cinematic. Spiral: Tight dramatic focus with deep blur — makes scenes feel impossibly small. Sundial: Strong tilt and squeeze — the classic architectural miniature look. Each preset gives you a starting point that you can customize further.
Optical falloff controls how sharpness transitions to blur around your focus ring. A hard optical edge creates a dramatic cutoff, perfect for that classic tilt-shift look. A silky gradual gradient creates a subtle, natural transition that's more cinematic. Tiltique gives you a slider to dial in exactly how aggressive or gentle the transition should be.
The lens vignette darkens only the blurred areas outside your focus ring — exactly how a real tilted lens behaves optically. This creates natural light falloff that enhances the miniature effect and draws the eye to your in-focus subject. It's subtle but authentic to how professional tilt-shift lenses render scenes.

Soft glow adds a gentle vintage bloom to highlights without washing out your colors. It mimics the analog warmth of classic cinema lenses. Use it sparingly for a subtle film-like quality, or dial it up for a more dreamy, ethereal look. Pairs especially well with the Velour preset.
