What does the Tilt-Shift Blur effect change?

Tilt-Shift Blur applies its named blur kernel and direction to the image, with adjustable radius and source blending for either subtle softening or an obvious motion treatment. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Tilt-Shift Blur?

Choose Tilt-Shift Blur for product photos that need a clearer focal point, privacy-safe face or object obscuring, or dreamy highlight-driven photography when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains soft source files, intricate boundary detail, or text-heavy images where additional blur would reduce readability.
