Using PS to make moving axis photographic effect

First, choose the right photo

When choosing a photo to make a moving-axis photographic effect, follow one rule: A miniature model is usually a view. So choose a picture overlooking the angle. If there are buildings, roads, transportation, railways and so on in the photo, it will be better, and the scope of the photo scene should be reasonable.

In this article we chose a photo taken in New York Times Square.

Even without the added effect, it's not difficult to think of this picture as a model scenario. The selected photos should be clean and accurate to the exposure.

Second, enter the quick mask, in Photoshop open the photo, press the shortcut key Q, enter the quick mask.

Third, select the Gradient tool, select the Gradient tool (shortcut key: G). Select symmetric gradient (the 4th icon before the Mode menu).

Draw a line and draw a vertical line. The beginning is in the middle of the area that you want to keep clear, and the end point is where the picture is completely transition from a clear to a focal effect. The starting point in the picture is on the silver car, and the end points are below the street lamp, drawing the line from the bottom up.

This line is used to determine the gradient range. When you release the mouse, a red area (mask) with a gradient appears in the screen. As shown in the following figure.

Check the mask, before you proceed to the next step, you need to check the scope of the Mask (Red section). The center of the mask should be a clear range, from here to the edge of the effect of the gradual loss of focus.

Six, return to standard mode, press "Q" key again exit quick mask. At this time the screen will appear by the ant line surrounded by two parts, here is going to make the effect of Coke outside the virtual part.

Seven, enter lens blur, select menu: Filter > Blur > Lens Blur

Eight, check the effect and fine-tuning settings, now you can see the virtual effect of the screen. Photoshop preset lens blur effect is also good, but can also be fine-tuned to improve. If you are not satisfied with the scope of the virtualization, you can return to step 4th to select the gradient range again.

Nine, exit lens fuzzy interface, set good parameters, click "OK" exit "lens blur" interface.
