Create Fake Miniature Pix With New Tilt-Shift App For iPhone

Leander Kahney ()

Now you can create tilt-shift photographs on your iPhone thanks to a new app called TiltShift Generator.

Available now for 99c (the price rises to $2.99 in two weeks), the app makes those fake miniature pictures so popular on the internet.

Created by developer Takayuki Fukatsu, the app works by selectively blurring parts of the picture to simulate a very narrow depth of field, making the subject look like a miniature.

The software can be used to create other effects, like vintage-looking photos.

If you want to try it out before plunking down your hard-earned 99c, the developer also offers a free online web app, and a free Adobe Air version. More sample pictures after the jump.

Link to TiltShift Generator on iTunes.

    Yet another factually misleading story on CoM. Deary me. This story makes out like it’s the first time you’ve been able to do this, but tiltshift fakery has long been available on the iPhone in the form of the Tiltshift (iTune Store link) for £1.19. It does pretty much exactly the same thing, albeit with quite a lot less grace in the interface design.

    I do like the new app from the maker of Quadcamera and Toycamera, but I wouldn’t pay £2.99 for it really. Also, unless I’m missing something, it is NOT possible to recreate ‘vintage camera effects’ like those created by Toycamera for example. That’s a very misleading bit of promotion by the developer if you ask me. You can tweak saturation, contrast, brightness and vignette but colour toning or retro filters are simply not included.

    Still, it’s definitely worth 59p and I’d snap it up if you’ve not already got a tiltshift app.
