Tilt-shift effect

Tilt-shift photography uses a special lens to focus on a narrow plane. The result makes real scenes look like toy models, because we associate a shallow depth of field with very close objects.

This effect fakes the look: Focus Y sets the vertical position of the sharp area, Band sets how tall that area is, and Blur controls the strength of the softening above and below. For the best miniature feel, use photos taken from a high vantage point.
