How to use

Move the vertical slider on the right of the original photo to select the area in focus.

Use the "Preview" button to see the results then "Get full size" when done, to get a link to the full size image. Creating and downloading the full size image may take a while, depending on original photo size and other factors.

Note: The Preview is meant as a low quality version only - it's better to download the full size image and resize it down if you want a small version of the picture.

The size of the area in focus can be adjusted using the horizontal slider, from "narrow" (a small area in focus) to "wide" (a larger area in focus).

Tilt-shift miniatures often look better with vivid colors. Some photos may have already had their colors adjusted though. In this case, the "Enhance colors" checkbox can be unchecked to avoid over-enhancement of the image.

Does part of the picture look good but the rest of it is not so good? Consider saving the picture fullsize and then select and copy/paste out the best area as a new image.
