    More tilt shift fun. This is a view from the Sears Tower in Chicago.

    Here's the original: www.flickr.com/photos/jonblock/96896242/

    And if you like this one, I recommend you have a look at antiapathy's summer version

      Thank you!

      This new (or new to me anyway) tilt shift thing has certainly breathed life into an old and rather drab photo.

      I'm having lots of fun with it!

      It's interesting to see the differences between this and the original. I'm glad you're enjoying tilt shifting!

      Excellent... this looks fun. For PS novices such as me, which version of PS is this a feature of? Was it in CS1?

      @ectomorfo - I was using CS2, but I'm pretty sure you can do it with Photoshop 7. All you need is Quick Mask, Gradients and Filter --> Blur --> Lens Blur.

      There is an easy-to-follow description of the process here.

      A lovely transformation. I did one with a night shot from Hancock. The b&w works wonderfully!
