Tilt-Shift Blur
Simulates depth-of-field effects using a progressive blur that’s applied with a generated
Z-depth map. The default settings create a “miniaturization” illusion, where the image appears
to be tiny due to the top and bottom depth-of-field settings used.
Main Controls
These controls select and control the overall effect.
Blur Type: You can choose between Fast Blur and Lens Blur (Lens Blur is the default).
Blur Strength: A slider lets you adjust the amount of blur you add.
Lens Iris
The Lens Iris controls are only available when Blur Type is set to Lens Blur. This is a simplified
set of controls from those of the Lens Blur filter.
Iris Shape: Lets you choose what type of apertures you want to use, with which to
influence the shape of the bokeh effect. Aperture Shape options include Triangle,
Square, Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, or Octagon shaped aperture.
Blade Curvature: (Only available with Real and Creative Apertures) Lets you round off
the edges of the Aperture Shape you selected.
Rotation: Lets you adjust the angle the shape appears at.
Anamorphism: Lets you adjust the aspect ratio of this effect in order to match the lens
blur created by anamorphic lenses.
Highlights: Lets you adjust how the highlights of the image affect the blur, dilating or
eroding the image more or less depending on how high Smooth Strength is.
Depth of Field
Additional Depth of Field settings let you adjust the depth map being used to create the
depth-of-field effect.
Depth Map Preview: This checkbox lets you see the grayscale depth map directly
while making these adjustments. The white area will be blurred, while the black area
will be unaffected.
Center X, Center Y, and Angle: These parameters let you transform the depth map.
In Focus Range: Lets you expand or contract the black center of the depth map that
defines the blurred region.
Near Blur Range and Far Blur Range: Two parameters let you individually adjust the
falloff of the white bottom and top of the depth map.
